"what are you listening to?"
Terrible to be honest, all the chumps ask that.
One of my approach lines (ok I stole it from someone don't remember where) is:
Once she's finished a set, go up to her and tell her:
Me: "Hey that looks like a good exercise, what muscles are being worked?"
HB : Bla bla bla (I don't care, not about to do woman exercises...)
Me: "Mind showing me how you do it exactly? Can I watch you do a set?"
HB: Bla bla bla
Me: "Yeah it looks like it's working [muscles] well, I just hope I won't look that silly when I do it" (Playfull tone)
HB: Hahaha
Me: "Say can I get a few minutes of your time for my last set, could you spot me, my friend isn't here today". (I usually take ridiculously low weight for a bench press and they always crack a laugh).
Then proceed from there.

BTW, I like that comeback line, never thought of it.
Cheers!
