\"How-to-pick-up-a-cougar-at-the-gym\"<\/a>First things first, fellas: do not be the annoying jerk getting in the way of someone else\u2019s lifting routine. When you\u2019re at the gym, your first priority should always be focusing on the workout. If the primary focus for you while you\u2019re at the gym is socializing or flirting with girls, then you\u2019re the guy that everyone there hates and wants to leave. That guy never picks up women. That guy doesn\u2019t even get a second glance from the smoking hot cougar doing high-rep pec flies a few feet away. Dang! Do you see her?<\/p>\n

Alright, you found a hot older woman that you really want to make a move on, but you know that hitting on women at the gym<\/a> is notoriously difficult to pull off successfully. Flirting in this scenario is all about knowing what you\u2019re looking at. Some women have zero interest in any attention and just want to focus. Some women seem to want nothing but attention and spend the entire time taking selfies in front of the mirror right in front of the 35lb dumbbells that you need. Every time. Most of the time, though, women are somewhere in between those two extremes. All you need to do is gauge where she\u2019s at on the spectrum, get her attention and turn on the charm, not be annoying or in the way, and try to get her to see you again without being creepy. Okay, it seems complicated, but cougars are fantastically direct which makes it a little easier. Let\u2019s take it one step at a time.<\/p>\n

1. Make sure she even wants the attention<\/h3>\n

With the exception of the annoying girls who dress in as few clothes as possible to get attention, women at the gym are not there to be ogled and hit on. Few welcome it. This is especially true for cougars who put in a ton of work to look as great as they do. So, before you even walk up to her, observe a few things: Is she wearing headphones? (See The Best Gym Headphones Here<\/a>) Is she avidly avoiding eye contact with everyone? Then she might as well be holding up a giant sign that says, \u201cGET LOST.\u201d If you aren\u2019t sure whether the cougar in your sights would be willing to chat with you, try catching her eye and smiling at her and see if she returns the favor (without being creepy, of course). If she returns the favor, then permission to approach. If she doesn\u2019t, then try again some other day.<\/p>\n

2. Play some catch and release<\/h3>\n

The thing about picking up a cougar at the gym instead of your local watering hole is that time is not on your side. Straddling a machine or holding weights makes lengthy conversations difficult and annoying to maintain. A good strategy to get around this, however, is to engage her in some conversation and give her a taste of your charm. After a minute, give her a \u201cI should get back to it, but I\u2019ll see you around\u201d with your best smile and get back to your workout. The important thing here is to stay close or walk by her often and give her some long-distance charm. This way, you don\u2019t let her forget about you and you don\u2019t have to worry about sacrificing either of your workouts for the day.
