I ask because I always hear this from women online



"Don't approach me at the gym cause I just want to work out and not be bothered"
"Don't approach me at the bar cause I'm just there to drink and party with my friends"
"Don't approach me on the street because it's creepy"
"Don't approach me at the store because I'm just there to shop"
*Insert another situation where I don't ever want to be approached*
etc...etc...etc....

What options does that leave? Is there ever a time where women aren't extremely annoyed by male attention of any kind?

Where do women want to be hit on?

In the back of a head, with a giant club. Make sure they have long hair so it's easier to drag them back to yor place.

I'm OK with the grocery store. I had a nice guy approach me there once successfully.

My two no-nos are at the bar and at the gym.

Anything other than that, I'd be happy to be approached. I'll let you know when it finally happens

Somebody please explain how this makes sense. The gym is the absolute best place to find good looking/healthy people. Why would you not want to date one of the men from your gym?


I've made a good 10-15 male friends from the gym and they were all fantastic guys


As far as the bar goes, it's a necessary evil for me. I work 45-50 hours a week. I don't have a whole lot of free time so I go out whenever I get the chance. It's a shame that's also off - limits for a lot of women

That's because guys usually don't act like they have a stick shoved up their *** when they're working out.

In fact any store, I think... or places like a Starbucks, or library, art gallery, a park, a public business or transportation, waiting room ... or anywhere when you see that she is not really busy ( like eating, drinking, partying with friends, talking to someone, working etc. )

You said that you are working out ALL THE TIME... are you going to find some time for dating, or you want to date while working out in the gym??

If a girl is interested in you, she'll be fine with you approaching her anywhere. Even in the gym where she might not feel "prettiest" (I've struck up many friendships, and some relationships just giving some girls pointers at the gym).

If she's not interested in you and you're out to convince her that she should be, then don't approach her anywhere she is

A)rushed (like a street walking to work)
B)stressed
C)not feeling comfortable, or feeling dirty sweaty (gym).

There are others.

I'm not really into 'fit' men and I HATE working out. I'm rarely in a good mood when I go to the gym because it's a necessary evil and I really don't enjoy it. Plus, I'm usually in bit of pain afterwards because my knees and back are screwed up so that puts me in a not so great mood as well. I want to get my workout over as quickly as possible and go home.

The bar? Well, the bars in my area are either cowboy bars (yick) dive bars (great for making friends, not great for meeting decent men) and college bars (I'm nearly 30, I don't want a college boy, nor do I want a man who scopes out college age girls at bars). If a man came up and started a conversation without trying to touch me, making a lewd comment about me or staring at my boobs when I'm talking to him I'd definitely give him a chance. So far, that hasn't really happened. But I have made some of my closest friends at bars
