  I’m not single

  or 55

  but if I were single at any age, I would never approach a woman at a gym. Idk. Feels only a small step better than approaching them at work. “Captive audience” type shit, it would feel gross to me.

    but if I were single at any age, I would never approach a woman at a gym.

    I mean, more power to you. I’m mostly just saying “Women over 55 who are fit exist, you can find them at gyms all over the country.” I’m not suggesting you need to hit on any of them.

    That said, I can say from personal experience that people flirting with each other at the gym is incredibly common. I’ve flirted. I’ve been flirted. I even dated a Pilates instructor that I met there.

    Feels only a small step better than approaching them at work.

    Lot of flirting happens in offices, too.

    “Captive audience” type shit

    You meet people where you both are. But there’s a tactful way to approach people and a crass way. Don’t go running up to grab someone by the pussy. But smiles and small talk don’t hold anyone hostage.

      Almost no one wants “smiles and small talk” at their job. It’s not just about what I want lol. But that’s why I’m not single.

    They’re not talking about approaching women at the gym.

    They’re talking about observing women that are over 55 and in shape. Because they exist. Despite popular belief.

      In fact, you’re more likely to meet people who are both old and in shape at the gym because…

        The other user said it to you, too.

        Meeting people doesn’t mean you’re approaching them to flirt.

        The argument is whether fit women over 55+ exist. They do.

  Exactly.

  Literally one can go to the grocery store and find a woman who is over 50 and in shape. I would bet money.

    I mean, fit people still shop. It’s just going to be much more of a crap shoot.

      Yeah, I have to wonder if people who assert that it’s shocking to find a woman over 50 who is in shape and attractive actually ever leave their houses.
