Here is some practical advice.. don't just go to the gym..

[backbreaker]

go to a COLLEGE gym.

I have been going to this gym across town for the last few years. It's getting tiresome. There is a college about 4 blocks from my house and they have a gym and you can go to the gym there and pay a membership for the gym and stuff like a regular gym. Most colleges have something like this.


I will never in my life go to a real gym again.


holy ****. the eye candy is like 10x better. Even the girls who are out of shape are still cute, because they are 20. There are no 35 year old war pigs or mr Olympias at the college gym. Just regular ass dudes and cute girls.


If I were single I'd wreck shop. My wife asked me why I was in the gym for 3 hours today lol. Usually i'm back home in 1 hour and 30 mins.

You're a beast.

 

[cordoncordon]

I could see this if I was 25 or younger and single. Maybe. But bro, you're 30 and married with a kid. Go to the gym to work out like a beast, not to check out the girls. While I can fully admit all of the coeds there would be great eye candy, at the end of the day they would just be a distraction and not only cause me to work out less that at maximum output, but I would waste more time as well.

Here is a thought. Take your wife to the gym with you. I go with mine 4-5 times a week and she does every exercise that I do. Bench, deadlift, squat, dumbbell flat press, fly's, curls, hammer press, leg press, decline bench press, you name it. We have been doing this for almost 2 years now and it's been great. She spots me, I spot her. Encourage each other etc. Wouldn't have it any other way.

That does seem a great idea. This thread has inspired me to check out a university gym 4 miles off the track between home and work today - yes it is open to non-students.
The only downside is that I am 43 and inexperienced with women - while I would love to bang the hot 18-21 year old chicks there, it might be quite hard to attract them given my age. But on the other hand perhaps SOME students might see me as a daddy type hehehe
Is it worth me spending an extra $10/month to go there rather than my usual gym closer by, given my early stage of DJ learning?

But do you agree with the first guy that it might be possible to score with some of these girls?
My situation is that I am not good with girls, and I'm 43. I have a college gym near to my work - would it be a good idea for me to try out with the girls there. Or would it be better for me to focus my efforts in another area?

Well they are 20 and you are 43, there's a big difference, it works for backbreaker as he's 30 but the wider the gap the more creepy it looks.

 

[backbreaker]

are you an old 43? 43 in itself isn't that old

I agree 100% I work workout at a university gym and it's great. Not only is the equipment top notch, the eye candy is fantastic. Fit 18-23 year old girls in tight yoga pants or short shorts? Yes please.

It's not much of a distraction. If anything it gives you extra motivation to work harder. It is sad in a way because it makes you realize how unattractive most people are out in the "real world."

I agree on all points.

When I was in college, unless you were senior citizen age, it looked odd for people who were obviously over 30 to be in the school gym. My college town was small, but there were obviously cheaper gym options for adults. The university gym is way too overpriced for the average adult.

So usually you see students or seniors, because they got a sweet discount and its close to many residents. People over 30 but under senior age, just looked out of place....especially if you were a dude. Trust me, girls have no problem talking about the weird older dude they saw at the gym "why is he at the university gym looking at girls? Gross".

Now granted I easily pass for early 20s and am only in my late 20s...I actually like regular gym. Sure I see a lot of people who arent in shape, but there are plenty of people who are. Plus I GO TO THE GYM FOR ME...not to stare at women.

Also, OP...youre married with a kid...so whats the deal? I thought your wife was hot and you were happy? Sometimes you make it sound like youre willing to step out on her (if you havent already). Like cordon said...bring your gal to the gym and stay sexy for each other, together. I enjoy working out with a girl, and even better if she can be a good spotter.

I've been told I look in my 30's.

Hmm not sure now whether to go for this or not. Maybe I'll take a month's membership and see how I do

dont' be like cord. he tries way too hard.


the gym is a 2-3 min drive from my house verses a 20 min drive to my other gym. that's my main point. i never said i wanted to **** any of the women, but i'm a dude. just because i'm married doesn't mean 20 year old trim didn't stop being hot.

guess what. girls like this, you weren't going to score with hem anyway if you WERE in college. these are the girls that only date frats / jocks. there are plenty of normal ass girls. i had a nice convo with a girl at the gym yesterday who was really cute and probably about 19. harmless, but she was really chill.


1. great equipment
2. better atomsphere
3. better eye candy


what else do you need? i'm not trying to be a pro bodybuilder i don't want to look at a bunch of 6'5 300 pound hard ****s when i'm working out at powerhouse gym

 

[Albatross953]

I work at a university. Its awful...lol

Haha. This coming from you of all people? On this website? :crazy:

I got a good chuckle out of that one.

I think BB is a little sore at me because I have been on him in the past for making so many posts about other women that he finds attractive besides his wife. And yet, this thread is just another example. :yes:

BB I have said this before but it is so obvious to me you want to bang other women. If you haven't already. Nothing wrong with that. Except that you are married. You have some decisions to make my friend.

Good luck in the Derby.

I would go to the gym to work out hard and to improve not only your physique, but also your mental state that comes with that. Not to hit on girls. If circumstances present themselves that makes getting a number easy to do? Do it. But don't purposely join a gym to mack on the chickies.

Get a better body at the gym, and use that body to hit on the girls outside of the gym.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Bwahaha! Brilliant!

Reminds me of the "rec center gym" I went to when I first started lifting.

good idea.
