So contrary to popular beliefs, I have started to feel that gym game is pretty average actually. It is all about choosing the most gym appropriate topic or situation opener to engage your target. I was working out last night and I spot this cute-faced HB7 working out next to me. I wasn't genuinely interested in gaming her, but I wanted to experience how hard gym game really is.

I do a set and notice her looking at me quite a few times between her breaks. I instantly open her as she takes a break. I quickly figure out what her exercise helps with, and then I open her regarding it.

Me: So what does that exercise help with?

Her: It works all parts of the body.

Me: So kinda like a compound exercise for this and that muscle group. How many sets and reps? I show that I do know what I am talking about

Her: Exactly. I do X by X.

Me: Nice! How long have you been working out?

Her: Today?

Me: No, like for how many days/months?

Her: 2-3 months.

Me: Are you following a program? You seem to be following this one I have heard of.

Her: No, I made one for myself.

Me: Nice. I haven't seen you here before, so I am guessing you are a freshman. What do you study?

Her: Yes, you are right. I study HerpDerp.

Me: Heh... you do look like a HerpDerp major.

Her: Laughs

We talk a bit more, I don't exactly remember what, but eventually it comes down to sports.

Me: So do you play any sport?

Her: yea... that and derp, but I am not really good at derp.

Me: I love to play derp. We should play sometime.

Her: Yeah... sure. :) She blushes a bit because I slightly conveyed by intentions here

Me: So we have been talking for a while, but I still don't know your name.

Me: I'm ragefaced. You?

Her: Derpina. Nice to meet you :).

Me: Well hey, I better get back to working out.

Her: Yea. I will see you around. :)

Note that, I am in control of the conversation here and I also convey my intentions. I used a situational opener here and I worked well. Making my intentions clear help me majorly to save myself from being friendzoned even before I make a bigger move. The next time I see her, I will chat up more and have a new social proof in the gym for other targets. I can go on meeting new people and have more and more social proof.

Here are a few things I have learned:

  • Be confident and be genuinely interested in the conversation. I just talked about anything sensible that came my mind and we eventually ended up discovering our common interests - sports. Read this.

  • Talk to everyone and make as many friends as you can. It will never hurt. You probably get to meet their friends and and the cycle goes on and you develop so many targets.

  • If are unable to come up with a good line to #-close, just use this: "Hey, so you seem to be a sensible person and I like to be around like minded people. Give me your number, and we should should totally hang out sometime." If you have created enough attraction so far, you will probably number close with whatever excuse you come up with to get her number.

  • Use a nice body spray before you workout! I took it to be a stupid idea, but then I realized a lot of the girls smell good even at the gym. And that tells me they do not like body odor AT ALL. Invest in a nice, cheap body spray to get rid of the smell. This gives you a little boost in confidence over others guys who smell ;).

Quick gym tips:

  • Focus on whatever exercise you are doing and take full interest in that. It informs a lot about your personality - you are focused, determined, and motivated.

  • Don't be afraid to help others out if you see them struggling. Spot a girl if she doing bench press alone or advice her if she doesn't have the right form. These create good situational openers. Before you do this, make sure you yourself are well informed. Being an alpha male, you do not want to make a fool of yourself!

Good luck!
