So many women at my gym are so beautiful and sexy. The problem is they all wear headphones and I just can't think of anything to initiate the conversation


Will anything I say work if I say it with confidence? How do I work around the headphones issue?

Tell them how great you are. Tell them everyone thinks so and tells you many, many times a day. Make sure they know your body fat ratio, too.

I'm going to guess that if they are working out wearing headphones, they are not there to be picked up by men they don't know.

I suppose , because of the headphones, you could hand them a note.

This is a tough one. I've consulted the leading experts. This is what we came up with.

Approach the woman. Smile. If/When she removes her headphones, say "Hi, I'm..."

the point of that is to be so totally awesome that they tell you that without you having to solicit anything

If you have to solicit it, you're not that great

They can see it when I flex in the mirror and you can see all the striations and veins in the upper arms/shoulders area

Easy ... Accidentally barge into them, knocking them over and their earphones off!!! ..... Great way to get their attention and initiative contact as well!!! LMAO

I wear headphones to the gym to keep people from talking to me. I've had guys push to talk and I hate it.

The gym is not a place to pick-up women IMO.

Don't be that guy.

That's generally true, but if the OP is so great at reading people he should be able to tell when a woman might be interested in talking to him, and when would be a good time (like, she's getting water, not in the middle of a set.)

You don't.

Headphones are the universal symbol for "Do not engage."

No headphones? Smile and and make eye contact, then after a couple of times, just take the leap.
