What I am really attracted to is female bodybuilders who are feminine/natural/pretty (if it's hard to imagine, look up Jaime Koeppe or Juliana Salimeni). I don't know if I would be any more attracted to the types who would be in a running club or boot camp than the regular women I see at a bar
I'll forgive you, for all of the same-sex equal-opportunity gym stalkers out there that you just blithely insulted, without even probably realizing it.
But getting back on topic: going to the gym for me is sacred. It's me time. It's working on me, bettering me, challenging me, dripping with sweat me, exhausting me, and rewarding me. The "one" thing that is going to completely kill that me time, would be some little guy off to the side, trying desperately to catch my eye and get my attention so he can try a smile or a line on me, during my me time, while trying to keep up with me. I'd find another gym, where I can keep to myself, while I'm working on myself. Where people can appreciate when not to cross the line of common courtesy.

Yea there are a few different opinions about this. Some people feel like you but I see a lot of socializing at my gym. I dunno, it's tough to say. I love socializing at the gym because I always meet similar minded and very cool people. I've never tried to hit on a woman there though
For me, I work out with an enraged and animalistic intensity but still enjoy making friends
Hell, I think Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime made plenty of friends at the gym. Watch "pumping iron"
I like hot female bodybuilder types who don't do steroids. Pretty much like 90% of the Brazilian female population appeals to me immensely for this reason (working out is huge over there)
It would be awesome to have a girlfriend who enjoyed training as much as I do

I've never really been single and there have been times in my life when I have gone to the gym everyday - so obviously I've never been there to meet anyone. But I would never be offended if someone made some simple conversation with me. I'm a friendly person - so if something funny happens and someone and I happen to catch each other's eye and laugh, I'm fine with that. If I'm doing sets on a bench and watching a game - and someone asks me who I'm rooting for - I'm fine with that. If I'm wearing a Michigan shirt and someone asks me if I went there - I'm TOTALLY fine with that! GO BLUE! Like I said - I'm a friendly person. I have no problems being friendly and even making gym "friends." What I would prefer not to have happen - is guys asking me out and hitting on me. But a simple sentence here and there - I don't have a problem with. One time an older woman told me that I had an awesome body! That was AWESOME!!! Highlight of my day! (Who am I kidding - high light of my month! )

No. Because then you would simply be hitting on someone while they are trying to work out. Take it slow. Feel out the situation.

That's their problem then. Where does it end? Pretty soon you can't hit on them at the supermarket because that is for shopping. You can't hit on them at the beach, because they're are tanning. You can't hit on them at the bar, because they are socializing with the girls. They need to suck it up and deal with it.
I agree. You can hit on women at the gym. Some gyms are more social than others. But the OP started out right. He asked to work in with her. Now she's somewhat familiar with him. Next time, he might catch her in-between machines, or as she's waiting to use one, and make a little casual chat, or just say "hi" and smile in passing. Build gradually. See if she starts to initiate a chat, or smiles and waves "hello". Play it by ear.
If you talking to a girl and you feel great attraction between the two of you, you still don't think it's a good idea to ask her out on the spot?
I'm not talking about going up to a girl randomly and asking her out on a date, that's asinine
No. I don't. Want to ask again?
