Today is the first Wednesday morning that I've been to the gym, and I'm undecided.
There were a bunch of people there working out, some my age, most younger. And some females as well...
Not that I mind, far from it! Two of them were what I consider attractive, not that I showed any signs of it. Gym etiquette requires you to focus on yourself and not creep anyone out, and I am nothing if not polite. My gaze was firmly in the middle distance as I excersized.
Now, while I am still technically in the market for some feminine company,I don't want to be "that guy" and do any flirting. It's not the place. But I do like women around, they're nicer to look at than guys.
Trouble is I also love working out in a mostly empty gym. When I worked nights I'd go in at 3, 4am, have the place to myself.
So now I'm wondering how social I'm going to be, or have to be, if I keep going Wednesday mornings. Everyone else seemed to have their routines down, they're prolly regulars.
Do I want to be a regular too? Or should I go Tuesday afternoons like I did last week, when there was almost no one around?
Decisions, decisions....

Yeah, not for socializing. But certainly will get you out of the house on the regular, and that's a start
especially this winter, when one needs to do that! :)

im at the gym during peak times fairly often and in my experience the most socializing there is among strangers is "are you using that?," "how many sets do you have left?" ect but i get that being in a crowded area in of itself can be pretty socially draining at times :p having the place to yourself (more or less) is peaceful
alto tbh at my local gym ive noticed a lots of groups of genuinely disruptive younger guys hanging around in the afternoon/evening (theres a lot of high school boys???). theyre loud, rude, and enjoy messing up the equipment. so i try to go earlier in the day - before school lets out - if i can because i just dont enjoy being around that. but i doubt yours has the same issue idk i think its just cuz mine is cheap and close to the school lol
mine is literally next door to the high school! XD XD XD
