Eye Contact from Women at the Gym

[Masculinity]

Background: I usually do not speak to people at the gym, except to ask whether someone is using a machine, etc. I avoid attention vvhores, chicks recording themselves, and women who are dressed in provocative outfits. Lately, I have been eating a cleaner diet and exercising regularly. And after a considerable amount of work, my upper body has started to become wider and I have become relatively leaner.

Situation: I am not trying to congratulate myself here, but the physical changes have come with new social dynamics. I have noticed an increasing number of cute or attractive women looking at me via mirrors or at times directly into my eyes. Sometimes, the eye contact comes with a smile and sometimes it comes with a vertical "sweep" or a seductive look. I have also noticed women hanging out in my vicinity more than usual. I am friendly in every-day life and have no problem initiating conversations, but I am not used to this situation happening at the gym. I am also not used to receiving this level of attention. I have changed locations and machines and the results hold.

Question: Have any of you been in a similar situation? If so, did you open any girls and were you successful? Stories are welcomed.

Physically attractive people will always get 'looks' from the opposite sex. This is especially true in gyms, since most people who frequent gyms are attracted to appearance.

yeah when i'm fit and in a groove, it seems to happen nearly every time i go

i almost never do gym approaches because it doesn't feel like the right sort of environment to do them in. i hate how its in an enclosed, well lit room with mirrors and people everywhere. i also don't due to being a pvssy. there have been a few occassions where i kicked myself for not opening though.

Ah, yes. The age-old problem of... (checks notes) a man being subtly hit on by women at a gym?

If so, did you open any girls and were you successful?

To me, it doesn't matter. Instead...
1. Open to a girl.
2. Learn along the way.
3. Repeat until success.
One of these days, you'll succeed, and you'll tell us a different kind of story, and not this curious post with you doing absolutely nothing about the women who notice you. Capiche?

Women enjoy eye candy just like men do. At the gym especially. I will get looks here and there from women. Generally, I smile back even if I am not interested. I have gotten some conversations from the gym but I typically try to avoid mixing business with pleasure there (gym is my happy place away from everything).

However, if the feeling was mutual with a really hot chick I might bend or break my rule. As it stands, it usually is just to check you out. Not because they are sex or LTR shopping. So it makes sense to always play the "long game" there and have a few conversations before you start asking them out or for her number.

I'm pretty much all business in the gym. I dress like a slob in comfortable workout clothes go in focus on what I'm doing and try to get everything done as quickly as possible. I have never tried to pick up any women in the gym... I honestly try to ignore the distraction, but I do agree it is hard.

@Masculinity "Have any of you been in a similar situation?"

Yeah, when you put effort into yourself(In this case: Having a lean, sturdy physique dressed in sharp duds. Instead of being a morbidly obese Twinkie junkie, dressed as if he lives at Comic Con), EVERYONE-beautiful women included-warms up to you

Interesting perspectives.

In the past, my #1 pet peeve against gym approaches, is the awkwardness of seeing the same woman again after (if) she rejected me.

Nowadays, I really don't give a fuk....and some women at the gym are so gorgeous, that I can't help myself.

I must approach.

But, as for women giving me looks.

My answer is...YES.

I get looks, all the time.

Here is how it goes...

7/10 at the gym, there will always be at least one woman giving me looks.

She will usually be a distance away, but I'll catch her giving me glances.

And then, when she resumes her workout, I'll stare at her until I catch her eyes making their rounds back towards my way.

This will go on multiple times, until I approach her (if she is attractive) enough.

But the crazy part about it is, I've had more success approaching women who weren't looking at me, than those who were.

Crazy work.

Awkward environment because if it goes wrong someone is going to need a new gym

There is lots of lovely eye candy in my gym some of which also gives smiles and sneaky glances , but I always suspect gym girls have either a boyfriend or a guy they are dating in the background

Overall I tend to keep any interactions very casual , and just use the eye candy as motivation to train harder

I've never considered myself particularly attractive, but women look at me. I mean I'm no goblin either. At least I'm clean lol.

You guys need to humble your egos and escalate at least 10 times a week on women you are attracted to. Eventually you’ll realize that eye contact means nothing. Even women that flirt with you means nothing. The only thing that matters is her response to your escalation.

When I used to work in sales, some of my best customers showed zero initial interest and some of my worse customers showed initial interest and completely wasted my time.

When did men become mind readers? Our job is simple. Make the move. Escalate.

If you are not escalating, you are doing absolutely nothing.

Man = action, women = reaction.

The shotgun approach can work but the problem is without zero oberservation or screening you have absolutley no idea what type of woman your getting involved with

In your 20's yea you can get away with it once you pass 30 them types of women can do a lot of damage

I disagree with this completely but ymmv.

When I was a rookie I did the spam approaching and it was retarded and completely socially uncalibrated.

Over the years I focused on more of a lazer beam/sniping approach. The women who show signs of high interest early on are just that - high interest. Screening for IOIs and then playing the slow game with them (whether its over the course of the evening or a few weeks) is the best approach imo and it has worked very well for me.

I cannot really think of any interactions i've had with women who were initially uninterested that I managed to turn around nor can I think of any times where a woman showed high interest only for it to go nowhere (except once when I was on coke).
