I was at the gym today when a cute girl walked by. I thought about opening her. Then I realized: I am not here to game girls, I am here to workout. So I didn't open her and instead continued with my workout.

There are times when opening a girl is not appropriate for your own good. I felt that at that moment she was being a distraction, and that it would take away from my workout. I would lose focus on the task at hand.

There's a common saying that says "don't shit where you eat". I apply this to picking up girls. I limit my game at places I frequent often so as not to get a reputation as "that pickup guy".
