So I’m working out minding my own business and I’m in between sets checking my phone I look up and my eyes meet this other girls eye so I smile and throw her a friendly gym “thumbs up” because I think flirting at the gym is douchey
She kinda does a eye roll & laugh and goes back to working out as do I.
You try to be polite and friendly to people and get that as a result. If when she was looking at me I just kept a cold face and turned back to my machine then I woulda been the misogynistic asshole. Just can’t win user. Just can’t win
You were polite to a girl and gave her a thumbs up, maybe she laughed because she's into you, maybe she laughed at you. Who cares. It doesn't matter. You're there to lift heavy objects and nothing else. The rest is a distraction.
Lucas Williams
The thumbs up was just unnecessary and weird. Had you just smiled it would have been less awkward
Josiah Wilson
>I smile and throw her a friendly gym “thumbs up” I love people here Be careful user dont get drowned in the spagetti
Jesus i am hallucinating. Read every "thumbs up" as "thumbs down". Scrolled back up and it was thunbs up
Jordan King
If you don’t know them or a mutual friend to get talk to them then you ignore it bruh
Eli Rivera
Op here that would have been funny as hell If I threw her a thumbs down and went back to working out kek too mean to do tho still funny to think about
Hunter James
Learn to laugh at yourself and not take things seriously, or you'll fuck yourself up so much that you can't speak to anyone in case you say the wrong thing.
Confident guys do shit like that all time, making people cringe and roll their eyes. But instead of planning their revenge like Elliott Rodgers, they dont even flinch, they never think about it again

Angie Varona has been giving the internet erections for so long.
Bentley Ross
>mfw my gym has a girl who looks like Angie if she put her perk points in ass instead of tits
Aaron Ward
Damn I remember this girl
she was hot shit like 15 years ago on the internet
she must be way in her 30s now
Jaxon White
This.
Blake Reed
Just throw mad shakaz at bitches. Bitches love mad shakaz
Holy fuck I can picture this kys what did you think would happen? She would give you a thumbs up back with a big smile then you would chuckle and continue working out? Holy fuck how unaware are you man. You remind me of my cheesy ass co worker who keeps trying to go over the top with his jokes to try and create friendships. Fuck off plebbit.
Matthew Powell
Fuck, the cringe on how you talk. I can tell you're a newfag
Leo Lopez
Any other boomers have any luck walking up to girls and saying “looking good ladies?” And then just walking away? Always works for me.
Grayson Anderson
>If when she was looking at me I just kept a cold face and turned back to my machine then I woulda been the misogynistic asshole. Just can’t win That's actually how to win.
Thomas Mitchell
You're on that faggy time OP , only way to get girls at the gym is in the parking lot when they're alone and helpless
Actually he sounds pretty normal Do you want him to throw in copious amounts of retatded Jow Forums jargon to sound like less of a newfag?
David Rivera
she's into you bruh
Hudson Sanchez
Yes.
This is the best advice you'll get. Don't take yourself so seriously; just not to the point where you internalize it and start to lack self-confidence instead.
why is this hard for anyone? in public, just make it a point to always be looking away. if you accidentally make eye contact with someone, look away immediately and make a point of turning your back. but keep a pleasant yet disinterested expression on your face. i've never had an interaction with someone in public unless i wanted to, or unless he was trying to panhandle or sell me something. nobody else gives a shit unless you get their hackles up by focusing attention on them. different for girls though, everyone wants to enter them so it's harder to be left alone.
Bentley Morales
truth
Kayden Jackson
Poor advice. People feed off your vibe. Be smiley and friendly like OP. The world is then a better place.
Brandon Wright
it probably wasn't a mean spirited laugh, stop taking every interaction to heart like an autist. what you did wasn't that cringe
Jonathan Peterson
is this bait?
Lucas Reyes
it's a choice, smiley and friendly is good if you want to support a smiley and friendly environment and be social and make friends and maybe occasionally get someone annoyed or pissed off. sounds like op was just trying to exist in public without doing the wrong thing.
Grayson Nguyen
you did good OP. You must understand that people today are 1000x more socially inept that they were even like 20 years ago (I'm a 36yo boomer, I remember). This means that if you have a funny, non-threating and positive reaction, you cause a lot of confusion in most people. In this case the girl, not having any other reference for how to react to your thumbs up, did what she perceived as the most safe option, the dismissive eye-rolling. In reality a well-socialized human, male or female, would have just laughed or responded with a thumbs up.
At the same time, being not well-socialized yourself, you are not aware that your thumbs up was nothing weird of negative, and having only the reaction of the girl as a frame of reference, you did felt bad. Also it doesn't help that people on Jow Forums are really fucking bad at socializing and human communication, and you got very few sane responses like You are closer to sanity in a world gone insane. That's all. Don't worry for yourself OP.
Jeremiah Lopez
>so I smile and throw her a friendly gym “thumbs up”
SHOUNEN-ESQUE. I LIKE IT.
Jayden Anderson
I am pretty sure this girl used to workout at my gym.
Xavier Murphy
Autism at it's finest. YOU were in the wrong OP and you should KYS or at the least, never go to that gym again. You are now the "creepy guy" at the gym and will more than likely be kicked out and your membership revoked. You fucked up bad
You have severe autism. KYS you worthless pile of shit
Blake Long
>explaining human behavior is now coping Shut up virgin
Blake Davis
>Blonde thot doing good mornings across the gym >90 degrees from power rack >Doing rack pulls >Time to load up 6pl8 +++ (they were above knee lol) - doing drop sets fir shrugs >The weights make it look like I'm the strongest guy in gym >I just benched 225 a few weeks ago >Everytime I add/remove plates I stare at her butt by accident >She never moves, just keeps doing good mornings >Catch myself staring and look down in shame, force myself to avert gaze
Liam Rodriguez
Should have just fucked her in the ass straight away. At least she wouldn't laugh.
Should have told her she was looking good. Then just walk away.
Isaiah White
>start talking to girl I thought was a qt during uni semester >get talking, pretty much meeting up on a weekly basis >she's a genuine qt, smart, works hard, really bubbly >ask her out for coffee during semester break >go to see her >she's in booty shorts because she went to gym before meeting up >mfw For years I've been saying 'BOOTY SHORTS IN MIXED GYM = SLUUUUUUUUUUUT' and now I'm at the receiving end of it. My fucking heart, lads. It's destroyed, completely and utterly. She's fucking deliciously thicc as well, but I would never ever betray you guys. I'm not gonna try to see her anymore, she's dead to me. GOD FUCKING DAMNIT
I'm not memeing. What kind of fucking good could ever come from a girl who goes to the gym with her ass hanging out? If you guys would be ok with your gf's pulling that shit then you're the retarded ones. Plus she's planning on going overseas next year anyway, probably gonna ride the international cock carousel.
Jordan Ramirez
>give her a friendly gym thumbs up What are you, a Power Ranger?
Just "keep a cold face" and give a little nod at the people you make eye contact with, bruh
Jace Ortiz
Just ignore gym thots bro, dont even acknowledge
Nicholas Richardson
Ah, so it's not just you assuming it. She's acting like a slut.
I guess the only thing you could try to do aside from giving up would be to make her yours and try turning her into a housewife.
James Bailey
>Just can’t win user. Just can’t win Finally someone who gets it.

>I'm a 36yo boomer fuck this idiotic thing of calling everybody over 18 a boomer

Andrew Rivera
>tfw don’t get random gym thumbs ups A guy once really enthusiastically told me to have a great workout once while holding the door and it pumped me for the whole thing. I just want friendly encouragement sometimes
Isaiah James
wow you are really in the very early stages of becoming a homosexual
There was this qt at the gym the other day and we kept making eye contact but I am irreversibly socially stunted so I just kept staring into her eyes with my mouth open not doing anything
