HB working at front desk at the gym

[ThrillOfTheChase]

Hey guys just wondering if anyone had any advice on this. I just joined a gym about a week ago and there are 2 HB's that work the desk where you scan your membership card. Anwyay, they are both pretty friendly. I joined the gym because my girl of 3 years dumped me and during that time I put on some weight. I'm not fat but do have love handles. I always say hi and ask how are you today. What can I do or say to maybe hook up with one of these girls. I know they probably see guys all day go in and out but what can I do to make myself stand out? Thanks for any help.

They pay them to be friendly and flirtatious with the male patrons.
Don't read anything into it.

With those girls, it's pretty much like hitting on a female bartender/****tail waitress.. every clown in the gym (especially the ones that think they look good) will be all over those two little cuck-teases.... I would say just be friendly but NOT TOO FRIENDLY, get in shape THEN hit on them. A pudgy hitting on the gym help can only end in failure unless you happen to have a lot of loot...

Think about it, they are probably hit on by AFCs and DJ wanna-be's daily. How would you differentiate yourself from the rest?

Your best bet is to bump into them on neutral territory. Somewhere where there isn't an aire of pumped up chests and pumped up egos. Someplace where they are off guard.

Maybe through your conversations you can ask a couple of probing questions about what they do when they aren't at work. Then, after you get your body and mind back into shape, try your luck in bumping into her away from the club. You will be back to form, she will be away from work and you both will not have the flocks of AFCs floating around.

yeah man they hire hot babes on purpose to flirt with u. but i was in the same situation as u you. What i did was i chatted up with the girl every once in awhile. like id buy a power drink pretending not to know what i was doing. and asking her what kind shed like and does it work and bla bla. I would also remember her name and call her by her name. thats the point of name tags. anyways i ran into this old school buddy of mine whos about to go play for the braves and so anyways i got his number so that we could party that weekend. like i was working out i didnt have a pen so i went up to the desk and i like "hey charlene, i know you have a pen back there so uh why dont u let me borrow it so i can get someones number." she was like ok all smiling. so i got the pen and walked off. astonishment on her face by the way. i come back and i go heres ur pen. told ya id give it back to u. she asked "what did u need it for" and i said "to get a number, why? did u want to give me ur number so i could take u out sometime?" and bam i got it. easy bro.

I agree there. Im not really into DJ'ing with fellow employees. Guards are always up. Wether at work or me as a customer of some sort.

However its pretty money if YOUR working and the OTHER person is a customer of some sort.

My current gf picked me up while I was working. She came in, made an insurance payment, and we chatted about 10 minutes. She left, then called me about 5 minutes later and asked me out.

Just make sure you get a nice rapport going w/ the girlies before you go in for the kill. Too many of them are sunshine girls (I ****kin hate sunshine girls).

Nice, chewy
Yea thats exactly what Im saying. As a veteran of over, sh it, 20 something jobs from various industries, i can attest to knowledge. I never liked hitting on girls that were working. usually the guards are up/ plus its awkward, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, its difficult to judge IL. I never date an employee for all sorts of reasons alot of people here have accredited to.
However, if your working, especially in a friendly customer service environment, its a GREAT WAY to meet and hook up with customers/non fellow employees you come into contact with

Most have policies about NOT dating customers. They could get fired from it.

Best bet, as someone has said before is to BEFRIEND them. Come in throw a few jokes around, and make them nice and friendly. Try to find out subtly where they hang out, and then go to those places. They are sure to have HOT friends. Make them your pivots is the best way to go. That way, they will be working the girls for YOU.

Thats a rule thats very rare and almost never enforced. i have had NUMEROUS jobs and i have NEVER heard of someone being fired for asking out a customer. As long as its not sexual harassment. I have worked and been in management of MANY retail stores, and i have never heard of this. i wouldn't mind if one of my employees asked out a customer. Heck, i would rather one of my employees ask out a customer than have dating going on within the workplace. thats were the problems arise.

The one exception to this rule is obviously strippers and go go dancers. They will be fired without question if they are cought asking out customers.

There is a girl at the gym that seemed to show definite interest. I played it cool always cutting the convo short. It helped for a while, but then I didn't see her for a while as she worked different shifts.

It is hard to tell if they are just being friendly or interested. Since she asked lots of questions about myself and gave me good eye contact and big smiles, I can say she at least liked me. Whether she would have dated me I don't know.

I do think that now she is dating a guy that works with her there. I had a girlfriend at the time and still do, but I still think she's pretty hot and think about asking her out.

Alright guys, I work at a gym, and know that these girls are hit on by all kinds of guys, good looking ones, ugly ones, old ones, AFC's, I've heard it all. They tell me and we both make fun of these chumps. With that being said, there are things you can do to improve your chances. Just like any other approach, there must be an initial attraction, otherwise you will quickly be grouped with the rest of them.

1. Be different to STAND OUT from the other 100's of chumps that talk to her every day.

2. Get friendly with the male staff and they might be able to help you with an intro, or by inviting you into the conversation.

3. A good way to start an interesting/funny convo is to ask her about all the old pervs that hit on her. Do it in a friendly, funny way, with an attitude that conveys "poor you, you're stuck here having to be nice." You can even take it a step further and add some ****y/funny to it.


Most of these girls are more open to hooking up with co-workers than with the predictable AFC's that often approach them. So be unique and stand out.

Great post, Gangster. I like your quotes even better. Thanks for the boost!

Thanks for the advice. Yeah I'm gonna just concentrate on getting in shape and then go from there. There are two guys that seem pretty cool when I go in, so maybe I'll get in good with them. I figure I'll get my confidence back when I get in shape.

Good plan.

I always cut the convo short with the girls at the desk.

Remember it's always better to leave them wanting more, than wanting less.

Most guys overstay their welcome.

Leave when the convo is still good. That raised the front desk girls interest level in me quite a bit. But I never closed, as I said, my GF now is part of the reason.

Damn she's hot. I think she is dating one of the guys from the gym.

These girls ALWAYS have BFs, so you'll have to steal her or not have her at all...
