I know that women hate to be approached at gym, or at least they say they do.

I feel like the gym is a tough place for an average guy to demonstrate value, with there always be some better looking guy nearby, some buff monsters and super alpha's all around.

How often are the headphones on just so I can't say hi, or start a convo?

How often is there a boyfriend somewhere else in the gym?

I read somewhere that the preferred method is to become a familiar face and little by little get her comfortable with seeing you over time, then finally striking up a conversation.

Gentleman, what do you think about this? Tips, warnings, comments.

There are exercises that need 2 ppl you can try to ask them to help you with them. I.e. Donkey calf raise. Girl gets on your back and you do calf raises
