WOMEN - ANSWER ALL - Q&A with Meso Ladies

[GearGodess]

Alright... since I have been asked several times about a 'GearGodess Q&A' (which I am still considering with my long log bible of various runs with various compounds...lol) along with a Q&A for the ladies... I decided with a few nudges from a few male members... to start this thread for all you boys to ask questions about ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING... I'll also try to keep an eye out and steer things in the proper direction or make suggestions on posts if they should be separate threads... just so we can grow the female population and knowledge bank here at Meso.

So ask away, we are ready and we will answer them for you from a female perspective since there are quite a few females that are active lately...YAY!

(PS. my name is really GearGoddess, but somehow I entered my name with one 'd' hehehe - not sure why but it happened and I never changed it...hehehe - the rebel in me)

First!

Ok. Here's a question I need a ladies POV on:

Seeing as Im single and spend a lot of time at the gym I see a lot of attractive women there. And sometimes I see them seeing me. But I always hear from women how they hate when guys talk to them at the gym. So how can I approach a woman at the gym without making her uncomfortable?

What does a woman go through after a cycle? does her natural production of testosterone and estradiol bounce right back?

considering we are all different, we all bounce back but some take longer than others...

if it was me, the best at the gym without being a creep, maybe see if you can spot her - but try not to make that a squat spot as your first one... cause we all know the only reason for that is so you can check out our bottom from up close

make it very casual

Thats an interesting take, because I tried the opposite a few weeks ago. I asked this pretty lady to spot me on the bench. We got to talking a little, but I never took it further for fear of being a creep.

From my experience being hit on at the gym... My current boyfriend was working out next to me I was doing cable
Kickbacks.. I almost kicked him in the ass lol that got his attention and gave gave him a reason to talk to me. He complimented my hard work and saying I was very smart to not come in talking to all the men but to actually be working out lol!! So then not long after that we ran into each other at the water fountain and started a convo and he asked me if I wanted to go get something to eat..

Yesterday another guy came up to me complimenting me and then just started having casual convo then asked me out. Was very nice if I was single I would have considered haha

What NOT to do is compliment a women in a perverted manner that seems to scare a lot of women away more than anything.

So that's the way to do it if you want to get a girl. Just compliment and if they don't completely ignore start a conversation. Haha. Be yourself and have respect.

that depends on the girl... some may find offence to it, but it is a good angle too. I guess if it's a girl that you see regularly, see her training style then go for it! You should continue the conversation next time you see her. Maybe approach it as, remember that spot you helped me, I was able to surpass my usual reps and it felt great the next day...or something along those lines.

 

[GearGodess]

even discussing a style of training. That starts a conversation... could lead into have a kick ass training partner

well sometime you can start a convo again and see how it goes and ask if she wanted to get something to eat sometime then she either says yes or no. Don't be scared women love confidence. If she says no..
Well it's not meant to be then haha

I met my girl walking at the gym, she's a yoga instructor and the director of their Barre program. I took a yoga class with a girl I workout with from time to time and at the end I went up and introduced myself, thanked her for her time, asked for advice etc. One thing led to another and we've been together ever since. (Sorry to hijack I know this is an ask women's thread, just thought I'd share what worked for me)

still on topic... it was relating to a question asked and this worked for you

Totally agree with you. I've fallen for this one a few times and engaged in conversations with guys at the gym who eventually asked me out. Didn't accept their invitations bc I don't want drama in my happy place and they weren't my time anyway.
Anyway, guys, if you wanna talk to girls at the gym you can kindly compliment them. Start a conversation about training, different variations of whatever they are doing, etc. we are usually nice to those who give good advice.

I don't know if girls look at me because I'm picking heavy things up or if it's because I make silly faces while lifting to keep myself entertained so talking to the fairer sex is never a mission of mine at the gym plus I always assume they are just there to workout and don't want some guy hitting on them. So this leads to my two part question, part 1 do you girls catch us when we do the 6 mirror bounce off to check you out so we aren't looking directly at you cause I think that makes guys turn to stone? Part two if I have legitimate information I want to share say on your squat or deadlift that would help how do I go about informing you without seeming like I'm hitting on you cause I only got a 6 min rest break then I have to pick something up 3 times and sit down again can't be wasting to much time?

part 1 - YES WE SEE EVERYTING ALL THE TIME ALL AROUND US

part 2 - make a quick approach and don't be a dick about it. Yes we are also there to work not socialize. constructive criticism is always welcome, maybe start by saying something like... "I like how you did... have you considered this...it will help with..." and of course finish with a compliment of hard work well done... but avoid only staring at our chest and ass as we chat... we do have eyes on our face that many fail to notice.
