I think there must be a book out there somewhere about meeting women. I've had this exact scenario play out over and over in the past 5 or so years. A man will introduce himself to me at the gym. We exchange names and shake hands. We go our separate ways. The next time we say a few words but they don't linger. They may ask me a question, listen to my answer and walk away. Gradually it becomes hugs and longer conversations. Most of them are single men and back off when they learn that I'm married. From a gym guy perspective this scenario sounds pretty easy to understand. At EP during several discussions where meeting women at the gym came up a number of ladies stated that they were at the gym to work out and didn't appreciate men trying to hit on them. Perhaps being hot and sweaty wasn't conducive to thinking about romance. The short story was that from a female perspective the gym wasn't the place to look for a hookup. And if she really didn't appreciate the attention she could always say something to the gym management and the guy could have his membership cancelled. But the solution is simple. If you are interested make it obvious. During the conversation take the initiative and ask him if he would like to get together for a cup of coffee or an adult beverage after your workout. Some conversation in a coffee shop or quite booth in a restaurant will allow both of you to decide if you want more. PS.... If you are attracted to a guy and he hasn't gotten the subliminal signals and initiated a conversation then take charge of making it happen. This is pretty old hat but, catch his attention and just wiggle your eyebrows, he'll get the message. Most women don't understand how exercise makes them more attractive. Yes, they are hot and sweaty from exertion, but their skin is flushed and glowing and this is lovely. Go to the gym clean. Use tinted sunscreen instead of makeup. Wear good, well fitting exercise gear, it's worth the investment. Even if you're overweight you will look better and feel more confident if you are wearing something that is attractive. Large or small busted, invest in a good supportive sport bra. Avoid the uniboob! There are men that find healthy women over 50 attractive! So enjoy the attention! |

Waaaaaaaaaay too many men think this is the book on how to meet women: www.amazon.com/dp/B007MAXHUG/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1#nav-subnav |

I'm one of those men- there are a few women in their late 40's- early 50's I see in the gym on a regular basis I would love to take out. And there's a lady at church, in that same age bracket, beautiful and brilliant, whom I'm fairly certain were I not married, would take me home and do terrible, terrible things to me. Sexy has no upper age limit.  |

And you can trust eternaloptimism that when she encourages you to "get on" a man, she means it literally.  |
