Commercial gyms have often been seen as pickup joints or meat markets. Let’s face it. Guys can be awkward and creepy. Is it ok to try it these days? If so, how do you it with a decent chance of success?

00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:15.519

Love Island? Uh, whatever those shows

Was the MTV one Rental Control Parental Control?

00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:23.399
That show is crazy? All those
dating shows, there's something so interesting

4
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.120
about them that all the streamers always
do, like blind dates or different dating

5
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:30.760
shows. I always thought, like
a super fitness one would be really interesting,

6
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:33.399
I joked, but I told Barty
could do it with me if you

00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:37.200
want, yeah, or like bro, it would bring It's not been done

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:39.320

bart. I was like, Bro,

00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.200
like just bring in, like yeah, like muscle mommies and whatever interview style

10
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.159

thing or like you they rate they they

00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.000

I'll do it. Fine ship hot
muscle mommies and me. All right,

14
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:00.439
dude, I'll volunteer. How many
of them are not gonna know who you

15
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.159
are? None? If they're if
they're like under the age of thirty,

16
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.200
probably none. Okay. I mean
even in our era, right, like

17
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.120
chicks were into this, but there's
make Squats is like the only chick YouTuber.

18
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.719
Like now there's girl YouTubers and influencers
everywhere. Back then, there's like

19
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:19.959
two can't swing a dead Cat.
It was like Nicky Blacketer and and and

20
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:25.680
and squad Age. She's after age. Range could go pretty wide too,

21
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.599
like you do, like the New
super Into, like the fine typical bullshit

22
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.280
that oh yeah, I don't even
listen and they don't care. She's just

23
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.680
name it chicks. But she's new
too, but she is. They're like

24
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.640
that middle class. They're like twenty
sixteen, okay, yeah, like in

25
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.359
our era, there's none. There's
a lot of people that don't. I

26
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.760
mean, you could have people that
are ye, twenty years old just getting

27
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:48.760
into fitness. I'm like dating,
No, not for you. The Dating

28
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:52.319
Show. I was like, that's
a stretch cas for his own head right

29
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:53.480
now, dude. But you have
them, and then you have next season

30
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.959
people that are like even i BB
pros that are over over forty, the

31
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.599
Silver Fox, Muscle Mommy. Essentially
it's just a sixty five year old.

32
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.719
Usually it's the Man by seven Fox
right Yeah yeah, yeah, well you'd

33
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:07.840
be in it too. He'd be
looking for love. Yeah, that's what

34
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.599
I'm saying. He's been dedicated to
the gym for forty years. Now it's

35
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.439
time to dedicate to a woman.
Yeah, that's the you need to learn,

36
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:15.680
and then he can get some pointers. Maybe at that point, like

37
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:20.680
you need to stop what you're doing
and sell the sixty five year old pick

38
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.400
me. And so that's what he
is before the If he was born fifty

39
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.319
or forty years thirty years later,
he'd have the tripod and the Oh he'd

40
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.400
be Guzman. Yeah, he'd be
in the corner by himself flexing. Yeah,

41
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.639
but he came. He was too
into the gym too early, and

42
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.159
now he's a loser. He should
do it though, that's a good idea,

43
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.159
right, Yeah, we'll be the
first contestant. Yeah, he was

44
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.719
doing it before it was cool.
No, dude, you'd kill it'd be

45
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:47.719
fun. Or the button gave the
cut on the Budget game with Avy just

46
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.759
you know, you literally could just
with fitness people. What is the button

47
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:53.360
game? Button game is like you
have like a blind day. You just

48
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.879
sit two people down and then you
can ask questions or they send in prompts

49
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.199
sometimes I think, and you ask
a question and as soon as there's a

50
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:06.840
ringer like a buzz, the first
person that yeah, the first person to

51
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.000
hit it stays and dumps the other
one and then if don't want to date

52
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.520
them, and then if no one
touches it, they end up continuing the

53
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.960
day they take a second date.
OK, so you sit there, yeah,

54
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:20.639
guy clips everywhere a guy comes up, and then like you'll talk for

55
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.520
a second and then the button will
go red and like you can either hit

56
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:24.879
it, they can hit it,
or you both just sit there if you

57
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.919
both like each other all want to
continue. Let's bring this into a question

58
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:37.280
for the Friday episode to wrap her
up dating. The old golden rule is

59
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.000
don't talk to chicks in the gym, right. That's the old golden rule,

60
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:46.400
which I think is actually stupid,
right in the sense that if you're

61
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.520
now gym culture is different. The
type of gym you go to matters,

62
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.280
right, Obviously, the type of
person you're going to approach matters and what

63
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.000
they're doing and their energy. And
I'm not saying just go approach every woman

64
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:00.400
in a gym, but if you're
about this lifestyle twenties or thirties or forties

65
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:09.039
doesn't really matter, but especially in
your twenties, thirties, even thirty five,

66
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.280
let me know, Yeah, well
get a day, a little younger,

67
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.720
if you're ms are open eighty one
if you especially for pictures. Yeah

68
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:21.399
only if you're hot, good credit
score, household homeowners only a dog,

69
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:27.439
that's a bonus, yes, please. You are expected to just go to

70
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.439
a bar to meet someone. Yeah, right, so if you're trying to

71
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:31.839
if you're really about this lifestyle,
you probably don't go to that many bars

72
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:35.560
if any Like, where are you
supposed to meet someone? You know?

73
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.319
We have couples in here in the
gym that have either met here or or

74
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:43.480
definitely have brought their significant other here
and workout, Like it seems so normal

75
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.519
to try to meet someone like minded
out a like minded place. It's like,

76
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.680
you know what I mean? I
agree, I percent. And whenever

77
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:55.720
I hear that like the whole don't
approach don't talk to girls in the gym,

78
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:58.319
I've always been like, ah,
like, there's there's nothing wrong with

79
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.439
it. It depends on how you
approach them. And that applies to anywhere,

80
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.920
grocery store, whatever, a bar. You can't like honey, like,

81
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:10.319
that's not gonna work either. Be
respectful, kind, start like,

82
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.720
don't be awkward, don't be Yeah, it's just like do it in a

83
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.079
nice way become friends with them first
and then so they get to know them

84
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.160
more. Everything you named is way
more difficult to do than for a lot

85
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:24.839
of guys, and they're scared shitless. And there is a process. There's

86
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:28.079
a process right to dating. There's
a process to approaching someone. There's a

87
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.079
process on evaluating when's a good time
to say hi to someone that's guy,

88
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.399
girl or the other. Like it
doesn't really matter, not even dating wise

89
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:36.680
either though, like just to make
a friend, though, there's a time

90
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:42.800
and place to say what's up.
All those things come before, Like don't

91
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.399
approach them in a gym, and
that goes for both ways, right,

92
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:47.360
because some girls do that forgot to
guys gyms, right, but I think

93
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.759
the gym's like the best, like
especially and it depends on where you live,

94
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.839
right, Like we're all California people, and like the cities and stuff's

95
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:57.560
a little different. But like I'm
not gonna go talk to a girl at

96
00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.720
the gas station. She's gonna mace
me, you know what I mean?

97
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:04.639
She reason in college, it's it's
it was college because like college gym all

98
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.639
college students or college class, the
cafeteria, like you're made to talk to

99
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.680
people yeah, but at the at
the gym too, it's like you'll see,

100
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.399
I mean any gym usually you'll see
the same people over and over again,

101
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.240
and then you'll be like, oh, this person's consistent. They have

102
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:20.839
a similar lifestyle. The gym is
clearly a priority for game with me,

103
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:28.839
right, But then like it says
a lot about like discipline or motivation or

104
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.000
lifestyle choices that are very similar in
a line, and they're more like they

105
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:35.759
they clearly prioritize their health. And
then you check their resume head over,

106
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.839
head over to Instagram. You see
what they're really about. That's your resume,

107
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.519
that's your dating profile, and then
you search that a little bit.

108
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.160
Essentially, the pool of people that, like, all my friends that I

109
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.519
met was mostly through if not like
classes, it was mostly through the gym.

110
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:51.920
And it makes sense people, Yeah, I met most of my friends,

111
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.680
and then when I talked to right, it's like through the gym,

112
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.199
which is kind of sad, But
no, I don't think it's sad at

113
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.920
all, because what's the opposite like
made about a house and then you have

114
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.279
nothing in common besides you love to
chug beer, Like you have nothing in

115
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.639
common beside you love to just go
to callege together. Yeah yeah, yeah,

116
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:11.040
yeah, like go Waggy's majority of
the time I'm spending like how many

117
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.240
hours in the gym a week?
You know, Like, yeah, it's

118
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:18.199
much more like class. I think
it's not crazy, particularly since I understand

119
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:24.399
that LinkedIn is becoming kind of a
dating size. You're right, thanks for

120
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.319
telling me. Guys, obviously none
of you care about me, it is

121
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.079
though, right, Yeah, I
need to go I need to go in

122
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.560
there and update my profile a couple. You should mirror picks. You should

123
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:40.399
find a little lawyer mommy exactly,
any lawyer muscle mommies or surgeons or some

124
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.839
ship do the lawyer muscle. You're
talking about a percent of a percent of

125
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:47.319
that's that's what I deserve. No, there is a there is a someone

126
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.920
in the parliament community who is a
lawyer and known like for being a lawyer

127
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.040
in parlifter. Yeah it's like,
yeah, I forgot where her handle is

128
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.720
a lifting lawyer, Yeah, something
like that. She's followed us for a

129
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.759
long long time. Yeah, she's
all she's she's buried in his kids now,

130
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:07.480
but you know she was single one
and she started following. I'm just

131
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.920
saying there is a niche out there
for you. Thank you. Yes,

132
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:16.120
insanely wealthy, empathetic, great glutes, good credit, and what do you

133
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.920
have to bring to the take squeeze
me, friendly eyes. I have all

134
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:24.079
that plus some oh great glutes.
I have good glutes. Well, I

135
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.759
think I mean something that that Kyle
was saying here, though, I think

136
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:33.399
that there's too many people period,
guys more, but people period who don't

137
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.759
know how to have a conversation with
somebody that they don't know. Number one

138
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.440
and number two. I think that
they put too much on it. They

139
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:45.480
make the steaks too high. I
think the sticks are not that highly or

140
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.200
you don't do it enough. It's
just like anything else if you don't do

141
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.519
it right. If you build up
this chick for a year and you never

142
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:54.679
talk to any other woman, and
then you go talk to this chick,

143
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.039
Yeah, your heart's gonna bring Let's
just say this. No one's that cool.

144
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:03.240
Just do it, like welcome to
Abby's dating class. But I think

145
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.720
they're so afraid, not necessarily of
rejection. I'm sure like guys that like

146
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.360
everyone's been rejected, right, but
like well, I'm sure like they they

147
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.120
don't want to be seen as like
the creep and they also know that person's

148
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:16.279
trains around the same time. There's
a lot going on now they're like,

149
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.240
damn, I could ruin the social
dynamic with everyone else in the gym and

150
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.200
this and that. But also another
side note, women have no game,

151
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:31.799
but true true tweet tweet. They're
horrible tweet. Their game is hey,

152
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.919
yeah, that's it. Yeah girl, any girl that's me is kind of

153
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.240
like that, hey, bunch of
Why if I give a hay out there

154
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.919
we get a response? Forty,
I said Jessica Biela. Hey, I

155
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.039
never got an answer. Yeah,
No, I don't get it. I

156
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.600
mean I do get it because they're
usually approach first and they never have to

157
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.559
do the game. Guys are like, this is like this is life for

158
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.399
death. I have to spread my
seed. Yeah, life or death.

159
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.720
Your saying guys are good at No, guys are good either. They should

160
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:05.519
be. They have to be.
They have to they have to be,

161
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.519
they should be. That's the only
way they're getting even a conversation right where

162
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.279
the girl doesn't have to be.
Girls have way more to choose from.

163
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.480
You have to understand, like,
girls have way more options. Guys.

164
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:16.960
We can count on one hat.
Now, how many times we've been hit

165
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:26.240
on? Is that true? Kyle? Yeah? That Kyle's like why,

166
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.279
I mean the bus with you,
but like how many times a girl would

167
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.159
straight go up to you is way
less than au And like if that doesn't

168
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.000
happen, like I'll have like because
I know a girl at a bar or

169
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.960
whatever, and like we kind of
know each other whatever, then like they'll

170
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:41.919
follow me and then they'll DM me
and be like, oh, I was

171
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.039
afraid to come talk to you.
That's usually like what girls do. Girls

172
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.399
are like they won't contact you first, or they won't come up to you,

173
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.080
and like it's rare. That's why
whenever you hear a woman that does

174
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.639
that, it's like a guy will
tell a story about it or something like

175
00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:00.960
that it's an exception, yeah,
Or the stories girls talk about are the

176
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.440
ones where guys do it in a
very nice way or very respectable way.

177
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.639
Sure, and then they still rejected
them, and they still like, oh

178
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.240
he was nice, So what what
can a guy say didn't look like it's

179
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:16.200
not creepy. It's usually just in
context, and it's not just backspots,

180
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:24.919
no spot your warm up? You're
like, what that's offensive? They Oh,

181
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.480
do you mean a spot you have
like one yeah I've read and be

182
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.639
like get out here, brok.
The best way I can go about it

183
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.720
is like make it completely not about
them approaching you at all. They could

184
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.399
come of like let's say you're like
squatting or something like that. They could

185
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.440
bring up anything like are these the
TSSs we're gonna use for the right?

186
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.039
Yeah, you gotta break the ice. I say something to ask them stupid

187
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.720
question you already know the answer to, or help them load a plate and

188
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.879
then walk away after have you seen
the sky as the blue lately? Yeah?

189
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:56.080
You load the plate and just sprints
away and really stupid. Hey,

190
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:01.039
fat penguin? What fat penguin?
What did you call me? Fat penguin?

191
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.240
What? What is fat penguin?
Just something to break the ice?

192
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:15.600
Oh that's good. See dad joked
like she's got a laptop on his left.

193
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:22.159
Is funny, am funny. He's
probably got an Excel sheet of all

194
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.759
the boys and all the options checked
out. I was gonna say, like,

195
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:26.480
I don't know if we could you
know, such an expectation for the

196
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:30.480
kind of comedy that you're gonna get
from that person for sure, Like we

197
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:31.679
can I don't I mean, we
can cut this out or whatever. But

198
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.480
I think it's fine. I think
it's not a rip. It's fine.

199
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.320
But I was gonna ask Abby,
like, has there been a lot of

200
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.840
members or like prospects out of like
DMB. Not a lot, but I

201
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:43.039
mean, like, is it like, Okay, she's a little intimidating.

202
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.200
I am scary. I'm a scary
person. People don't approach me. It's

203
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.799
probably your height. Yeah, that's
the times. And have you done the

204
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:52.200
opposite? Have you, like DM
like a guy hitting on a guy,

205
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.879
or approach in person? I start
conversations, I have gotten person in person,

206
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:03.360
I will do what I just said. Right, it's just like like

207
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.399
a question or a conversation in passing, just like saying something or like hey

208
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:09.879
like your shirt. You're probably the
last generation though, but below Abby,

209
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.960
we're fucked. I think it's they're
they're they're they're where they learned was in

210
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:18.120
COVID. Oh yeah, I think
about being sixteen in COVID. Yeah.

211
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.840
Now you're twenty and you're at a
bar, and you're twenty one at a

212
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.799
bar and you're supposed to talk to
a chick. You're fucked. You're fuck.

213
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.279
Yeah, that's probably true. There's
social isolation. What's your success rate

214
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.320
of like getting them to continue talking
to you and like see that they have

215
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:35.519
interest in you. I don't know
how to like you say, it's more

216
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.240
so than not or fifty fifty you
got you got, you got nine white

217
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:43.919
lights up line sixty forty seventy thirty. I don't know, eighty twenty,

218
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.679
it's probably eighty twenty. Yeah,
okay, yeah, I don't know.

219
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.320
In the gym, can you approach
a woman and say, hey, I

220
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.559
really admire your you know, the
commitment that you have to to sculpting those

221
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.639
pieces to be in good shape,
or like you're a good technical lifter from

222
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.840
what I can and see it,
I really appreciate seeing. Don't be so

223
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.399
professional about it. I got another
one. Hey, is your boyfriend gonna

224
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.720
spot you? Or should I spotch
you? Like I don't got a boyfriend

225
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:18.799
I don't need in that case,
Actually a professional fun very obviously not work

226
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.080
at all. That it wouldn't work. Some things are like, oh,

227
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.799
they're obviously hitting on me. Things
are like oh, maybe they just do

228
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.360
want to know, like where I
got my lifters from? You like the

229
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.039
mystery man? Or are you running
somebody's program? That's yeah, do you

230
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.600
a coach or something you have a
coach? Yeah? Anything really anything like

231
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.600
not relating to dating looks or anything
like that. I think I think that's

232
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.879
like a no go off the bat
always you never talk about looks because then

233
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.679
like their intentions, I mean,
I feel like it's not slimy, like

234
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.799
if their intentions are like man,
I really like this girl, I want

235
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.279
to talk to her, and like
they downplay themselves, like to not show

236
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:58.320
that obviously, like that's the way
they gotta do it, Like they have

237
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.080
to do it that way. I
mean, if they come out the gate

238
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.879
hot, you're like, oh,
like all right kind of yeah, seem

239
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:05.919
a little desperate. Also, that
was too hot, like yeah, you

240
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.960
don't even know me, right,
test the waters kind of thing. Guys

241
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:11.399
don't have that issue. If a
girl comes up, they're like, oh,

242
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:13.519
what's up? Yeah, yeah,
okay, yeah, I got here's

243
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.919
my numbers. You want to get
married? Alright? Literally, Like it's

244
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:18.279
like that, it's crazy. That's
what's scary about it. For for a

245
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.799
girl's sake, It's like if we
just want to be nice and just like

246
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.200
sort of conversation. Yeah, you
can't talk to a new person in the

247
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:26.279
gym if I like, I hope
someone move, I'm like, I just

248
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:30.279
don't want hopefully don't take the wrong
way because I'm being nice, right Yeah,

249
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:33.240
yeah, but that it's hard.
Yeah, but you got to do

250
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.360
it anyway because you work here.
Yeah, and they still don't unpersonally because

251
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.480
I'm scary. I'm a five f't
scary person. I think I just have

252
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:45.440
a It's also just the confidence too, Like I'm confident in the person that

253
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:46.919
I am, so it makes it
easier to approach people that I want to

254
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.960
or like I don't know, the
other way around, or people don't want

255
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:56.120
to approach me unless they have the
confidence to do so. I don't know,

256
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.399
Aura, Aura Energy Spirit. Do
you want to be approached and find

257
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.559
the love of your life in the
gym? Oh? I mean, now

258
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:10.320
you're making a very spific like the
forty nine ers, because like that's where

259
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:14.279
it seems like the gym has been
off limits for a long time. The

260
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.799
initial statement was like it's always been
like, ah, do not. I

261
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:19.679
don't know if that's real or the
internet, because I'm sure if you ask

262
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:22.360
a lot of couples who're like,
yeah, we did meet it the gym,

263
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:23.919
you know what the internet makes it
like a thing. Right. It's

264
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:26.879
funny because like you see that online
and girls like, yeah, don't talk

265
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.519
to me because they're like, like, I know I'm hot or whatever.

266
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.799
Right, but if their dream dude
came up and spotted them with the dumbest

267
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:36.600
line ever, they'd be stoked.
And girls have gym crushes too, And

268
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:37.519
when I hear them say that,
I'm like, well, I don't think

269
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.480
it's that weird. Does that make
me a hoe? You know, like,

270
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.360
am I easy? Because I'm like, I don't care if you talk

271
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:45.919
to me in the gym. Just
don't be weird, anti, don't be

272
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.360
awkward, don't be don't don't say
anything uncomfortable for the both of us.

273
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.440
Let's be friends first, see if
we can have any chemistry. So hard

274
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:56.519
for people to do that, for
sure, Even like even if it's them

275
00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:00.279
meeting a like a new friend that's
a guy, there's still like, oh,

276
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:02.799
I don't want to seem weird to
like this new friend I made in

277
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:03.920
the gym, you know. Yeah, yeah, they're still thinking that way

278
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:08.119
too, So yeah, making friends
just like guy friends. Yeah, And

279
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:11.839
then you get so confident that you're
just like, oh, yeah, do

280
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.119
you want to work in whatever,
or you give up on girls altogether tho.

281
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:17.480
Yeah, yeah, yeah, then

282
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:19.839
show and to find love. Yes, ask your best friend to start online

you call it? The show? I

285
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.759
don't know this. It'll always come
off corny, you know, that's the

286
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.279
best part. Like Love Island sounds
pretty corny, But a lot of a

287
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.200
lot of fitness folks actually ended up
on there because they justcrib really hot Instagram

288
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:37.759
people. I think, like Rob
Lip said, was on there show my

289
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:41.000
boy Rob Rob was on there for
an episode or two. Do you go

290
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:44.240
on there? I don't maybe,
but i'd probably be like Rob. Rob

291
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:48.079
is probably the nicest human I've ever
met in my life. And I think

292
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.440
he got booted off the show in
like one episode because they all do gossip

293
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.079
and drama and like, you're fucking
her and I'm fucking her and we hate

294
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.559
each other and they have fake fights
and Rob's just so nice. I think

295
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:00.000
you got like voted off in an
episode. Yeah. He made everybody feel

296
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.440
uncomfortable about themselves. Yeah. Yeah, And he's a very good looking man.

297
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:06.400
Good looking. He's just like a
normal guy, Like you're too normal

298
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:08.960
for this. Yeah yeah, but
I think other people too in the fitness

299
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.319
space were on that show. He
was in the UK one. But looking

300
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:15.680
forward to seeing you start your show, I think so, who knows if

301
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.759
it will happen, it should what
kind of dates would it be? Just

302
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:19.960
like straight like that's what, Yeah, you gotta find up. Yeah,

303
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.559
you gotta find the like one little
gimmick. I think it'd be like a

304
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:26.720
good one to do, like uh, like to close off a section of

305
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.799
barbaro bagate or something like that.
Ye, Like you guys do a workout

306

puts me through a workout. Yeah,

307
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.240
and then I rate her and then
you rate the workout. You missed the

308
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.160
hamstring? Yeah, yeah, that's
why you're quad dominant bitch. He gets
