Why not, but don’t be creepy…

My general rule is that I don’t want to bother women if they are working out, so unless they talk to me first or give me a very clear sign that they want to talk, I leave them alone and just focus on my workout.

Not if headphones are in. I was in a class years ago and this really attractive tattooed chick clearly waited at the door to chat. She was 10x better than me so I didn’t want to speak to her outta shame. I still think about it. She said something and I went “you were really good” then she said “oh so we’re you I thought you did great and kept me pushing” 😭

Even if I wanted to I can’t at my gym, that’s how loud the music is 😂.

Nope. I say good morning to the front desk person since it’s usually the same one or two people there, but that’s it. I’m not at the gym to chitchat.

When I used to go to a more specialized gym, everyone would socialize to some degree.

I’ve only slept with one person, my wife. I have not openly shared this with anyone because there’s a stigma that I “settled” or I don’t have numbers on the board like a man should. I’m not overly religious, so that was never a driver in the equation. I admit, I do think about the “what if” every once in awhile but I’m honestly getting to the age where I feel I’m beyond my prime anyhow.
