I’d say if you see a pretty girl you think you might like at a gym, don’t be afraid to chat her up.
There’s a myth going around out there that “women don’t like to be bothered” at public gyms which isn’t true at all, really.
Each time I go to the Y, I see guys chatting it up with the girls there all the time so it isn’t a big deal at all.
Don’t listen to people who claim they don’t wanna be bothered ’cause they’re all full of it, really.
