You sound like a creeper. Those aren't "flirtatious signs". Maybe these women are in your line of vision so much because you're staring at them.
I agree that those aren't flirtatious signs. Maybe she was waiting for one of the machines you were using.

I mean, doesn't it feel nice to be considered attractive when:
- You're not wearing makeup
- Your're not wearing your best dress
- You're not wearing heels
- The lights aren't dim
- The guy isn't drunk
Who do you think we are? A bunch of women that have to wear a lb of make-up and go to bars to pick up men? I go to the gym to burn off stress and stay fit, I don't need to be validated there by some undersexed gym monkey.
If I was interested in a man at the gym, I wouldn't do anything different. I'm kind of old school and prefer a man who is willing to put the effort in and make the first move. I will never approach a man first, a lot of women won't. There is a school of thought that it is unladylike to make the first move, fyi. Luckily, I have an amazing old fashioned BF so I don't scope the gym for men I focus on my workout and getting out and on with my day. It is usually very annoying when a guy will approach me when I'm on a roll with sit-ups and he ruins/interrupts my flow and ask me dumb questions like "where are you from?" "Do you go to school here?"
Yeah but just about everyone universally avoids a treadmill or elliptical directly next to someone if there are others available. It's gym etiquette; and I do it myself. I'm talking a whole row of 15 or so empty machines and a chick chooses the one directly next to me. This happens happened a couple weeks back and every now and then. Unlikely someone would do that unless they were looking to get approached imo.
Swear this happens to me quite often. I commend you for actually starting the communication by saying hi; a lot of girls won't do that. None have actually said "hi" to me even when I reciprocate the eye contact/gaze or whatever.
When I was in my 20's I would sometimes choose my spot right next to other people. The two main reasons were the TV and also I liked being right next someone who was running fast(men or woman, unfortunately most were men). I was usually able to beat the women and about 1/2 of the men. Beating the men was the best feeling.
The only time people talked to me were people who already knew me. I never make eye contact and I never met anybody there. I don't check your muscles I check your machines to see how hard you are working out. One time I ran right next to a friend for 30 minutes without realizing who he was. He didn't realize who I was either. (he is super gay so I know he wasn't lying)
But I guess you can try talking about the workout, tht would be like the more natural way to do it. Or ask them something about the machine performance but then again that conversation probably won't go very far.
every place is a place to pick up chicks!!!! the goal of nailing a girl is something thats privelaged and its ok to do anywhere (the talking/pre-work not the actual nailing).
Exactly. EVERY PLACE. SOme people even suggest goin to church for this.
The truth of the matter is, if women didnt wanna be picked up, or stared at, they'd go jog around the neighborhood or buy a solarflex. Most dont do serious weightlifting in the gym anyway. They stay on the cardio machines for extreme amounts of time.

This whole bad attitude is why many men have a low opinion of women after their physicality. Some women just think they're too good to even say hi too. Like they are Paula Abdul circa 1989 or something
Just work out at home and run up and down the steps at the local school where nobody can see you

Women check men out in the gym, just not all.
Stereotype much? Wow, nothing like an uniformed blanket statement!

Next thing you were gonna tell me was to wear a burkha right?
Really, women likes the guys that have attractive shape of the body. Gym is the best way that helps to make the good shape of body.
