lol nope. Meeting women at the gym is "creepy." Had that screamed at me for years now.
It's only creepy if you're a creep.
Men who aren't creepy aren't creepy.
lol nope. That's not what women say.
I am a woman.
You're probably a creep if that is the message you are getting back from everyone.
Believe it or not, not all men are creepy.
Ladies of Lemmy: What y'all think of guys joining aerobics classes to meet women?
Well now that you put it that way, let me clarify. join an aerobics class because it's fun and it feels good, not for the sole objective of meeting ladies. Meeting ladies might be a secondary accidental benefit after having fun & being healthy in aerobics classes. This is how to meet ladies without being a creep.
example: for at least two years there was one man in our aerobics class, he was very good at it and he was up front by the mirror every time, he had his favorite spot, he was a normal guy, he did not flirt with the ladies, he did not talk to anyone other than normal banter that everyone has with everyone else. After 2 years I approached him because he was the only man I knew and I needed help with lifting something heavy. That's the only time I ever talked to him. There was nothing creepy about him or anything creepy about the situation.
I wasn't attracted to him, but I'm telling you if there were more men in that class or in any of the classes I go to, they could totally score.
That's like saying if you want to be the CEO of Microsoft and a multi-billionaire, be born to a wealthy family and start a company out of your parents' garage.
Bill Gates had to do a hell of a lot more work than that to get to where he is now, but THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT START.
See, here's the part of this exchange I'm still focused on:
For years I've heard women fuss about how much they hate when men approach them at the gym. I then hear a woman suggest men try to meet women at the gym. I say "no they pretty vocally hate that," and I get called a creep anyway.
