Have you ever noticed the people at the gym who just socialize and work out very little? Trust me this is a social outlet for many. You are surrounded by people with the same interested in staying fit. I think the gym is a great place to meet new people. But, dating every man or women that crosses your path is a big no no. And if you think it is only the 20 to 30 something crowd guess again.

I have known many men and women who use the gym as their main source of dating. Not a problem but you really don’t want to be known as the gym slut do you? I can remember an old friend of mine who was very attractive and she would flirt with every guy at the gym. I think she dated every good looking guy at the gym. One day a male friend of mine called me since we both knew this women to gossip. He told me she has slept with a lot of guys from the gym. I was very turned off and was not aware that she was sleeping with all these men.

Even I have dated guys from the gym but I only went out with the men I was really interested in. I look at it this way. Going to the gym is one of the things I can do for myself. It is my time to work out and clear my head. I didn’t want to have to avoid anyone at the gym or change the time I worked out just because I had a bad date.

Allot of couples have met at the gym and gotten married which is great. Just don’t use it as your “playground” in an unhealthy way.
