Need Gym Advice
Encounters
posted 2 days ago
Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for advice on how to find guys in the gym to hook up with. When I go to the gym, I notice other guys are looking around but I can't tell if they are just looking around or are checking me out for any interest.
One guy in particular was wearing very tight boy shorts but he always seem like the angry macho type so I could never figure him out and his attitude was quite off putting....
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hey bispeedodad
That’s a tough one! You want to be open to meeting someone but not be that pesky creep. I think it’s safe to assume that most guys are there just to work out but there are likely some for whom meeting someone could be a fun side benefit. Everyone enjoys eye candy and many of us enjoy being looked at (esp when wearing some hot gear), but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are available or interested in meeting anyone at the gym.
You can’t go wrong with saying hi or giving a little wave or a small compliment “nice shorts!” especially with someone you see regularly, but leave it at that. That signals that you’re open to communication. Just understand that anything beyond that could feel intrusive to someone who just wants to focus on his workout.
If you’re on grindr or scruff you can always see if any of them are on while you’re there.
Just my $0.02. Hope it helps!

It always pretty much started with eye games for me. Noticing that he's checking you out. You keep catching him looking. Holding eye contact and smiling. Guys don't ordinarily do that.

Go to the wet areas and locker room. Guys looking will be more obvious there

Wear a rainbow item, could be as small as a button or socks.
