Do you pick up girls at the gym?

Think most of us have been in the gym at some point and noticed when some fine little number walks by into your field of vision. There may be some eye contact, and a little smile here and there, but neither of you has shown much more interest, so you're probably waiting for them to make a move. How many of y'all have ever acted in such circumstances? Obviously, there's gonna be stories of success and failure, but I'd imagine if you read enough of her signals right, then you have a decent shot.
Personally, I've never done this with a random stranger, and only a few times with girls I've met before outside of the gym. Guess when it comes down to it I'm too chicken shite, and my gut tells me they probably don't want some guy actively going out of his way during a workout to hit on them. Not to say it's taboo or anything like that, but maybe a little outside of normal gym etiquette.
Just curious what the board thinks about it, and if there's any general advice that might help.

Ask her if she wants to do squats on your face.

Even when I wasn’t married, I went/go to the gym for me. It’s my time. I put on headphones and ignore everyone else unless they are using a station I want to use.

This is more of an OT topic but I don't see why this couldn't work at the gym:

I sweat way too much... which is ok.. few people in the gym will outwork me ... and my preworkout makes me feel like I could kill someone so I’m not in a talkative mood anyway

I just go to the gym to work out and I assume most women there don't want to be bothered
Had considered breaking the rule a few months ago and the next time I saw the girl in the gym she had a Roll Tide shirt on and it ruined it for me
Silly I know

Picking up girls in the gym is tricky. My best advice is to always be extremely happy, friendly, fun, and outgoing to everybody in the gym. If you're interacting with with everybody all the time, it won't be weird or awkward to strike up a conversation with a hot girl. And she'll be more likely to respond to your "good vibes" (I just puked typing that cliché). And it's a little creepy to suddenly become friendly with one person in the gym after being serious and intense the rest of the time (at least it might appear that way).
Otherwise, if you want to be the super-serious intense don't-frick-with-me bodybuilder type in the gym, then you better be so fricking hot and alpha that women can't resist you and will be receptive to any move you make. If this were the case then you wouldn't need anyone's help.
Good luck, sir.

The win to loss ratio is big if they aren't into you because you have to see them over and over again.
Normally the girls in the free weights are the ones that don't want to be messed with, the cardio bunnies on the other hands are ONLY there to be hit on.

And usually the ones doing free weights are the ones that you would prefer to hit on
Lose lose proposition

I just put a lot of weight on the bar at the bench press and sit on the end of the bench playing on my phone. Stand up and stretch a bit every once in a while. Get hyped up like I'm about to actually do something, but never actually do anything. Then when the hot girl walks by, I just kind of nod and say, "sup gurl".

Sounds like the guy that was tying up the squat rack yesterday

Girls at the gym that wear headphones are there to get a workout.
Girls at the gym without headphones are looking for well chiseled D.

Please don't do this.
It's hard enough to be taken seriously as a female.
The fact that cardio-bunny is a term is proof.
If you want to be a friendly person then okay, but don't use
your being there as an opportunity to undermine what she's doing, like her being there is for your space or benefit.
If she's into you, she'll let you know.

I have a girlfriend so, I really can’t and don’t want to. Hypothetically, unless she came on to me, I wouldn’t. I’m there to lift. I only have a finite amount of time before I have to leave, and I don’t like wasting it talking to people. I would have to imagine she feels the same way. I really don’t like a lot of social interaction in the gym. A quick “how you doing?” and I’m back to work.

I regularly do. I work out in my garage with my wife, and will hook up after.
Now, when I went to a commercial gym with other women, not so much. In a garage gym with my wife, I can blatantly show off my assets (such as they are).

I can’t train with my gf. I’m too handsy.

I never tried to pick up girls when I was single at the gym while working out. I was there to lift and I am sure most females aren’t there to be hit on by testosterone fueled gym rats. However, seeing a fellow female from the gym does make for a somewhat easy introduction outside of the gym. The only downside is hitting on a female from the gym is that if she rejects you or things turn to shite, you will have to see her every day.

All the time. I used to curl them. Now I prefer wall slams. They're very breakable though so you need a bunch.
