Note: there are, of course, plenty of scenarios in which striking up a conversation is a good idea. Let your social judgement guide you!

Now, today we have the following question to answer.
Should you or should you not talk to women in the gym?
Now I have spent some time on Twitter as of late because Twitter is fun again and I've seen some videos shared of young women filming themselves in the gym lamenting the fact that there are creeps checking them out or talking to them.
So I thought to respond to the question, should you talk to women in the gym and should you look at women in the gym?
Now, first and foremost, should you talk in almost all situations?
I would say no, because it's not appropriate to go up to a random female to talk to her, especially if she is into her workout.
Now, this applies mostly to commercial gyms where you don't know anyone there, basically.
Then, of course, you have different gyms, so powerlifting gyms, for example, where you have individuals, men and women, who are enthusiastic about powerlifting.
And if you have a powerlifting woman there, and if you are a powerlifter and you have a sort of natural conversation, yeah, that's something completely else.
And especially if you have a club, a powerlifting club or something like that, then it's normal and natural.
And it would be strange to not talk to people there just because they're women.
But in a commercial gym where you don't know people, I wouldn't say that there is any need for it.
Unless, of course, you know, there are certain situations.
If there is only one powerlifting bar and you wonder how many sets she has left, yeah, then it can be okay.
Stuff like that.
But otherwise, I don't really see any point in doing it.
Then, of course, if you have a local gym where you know everyone, yeah, then it can be natural and normal to talk to women there if you know them.
But the main point is that if it's a commercial gym, just a normy mainstream gym where you don't know anyone, I wouldn't say that it's appropriate to go up and talk to a woman unless there is a need for it.
Say, if there is only one powerlifting bench press and you are training small of junior, as I can recommend you to do, yeah, then you sort of need to use that particular equipment and maybe she is training there.
You simply want to know when can I use this so I can structure my warm-up.
Yeah, then it's okay to do it.
So you have these situations and you sort of have to, you know, make a judgment call.
Is it necessary to speak now?
But otherwise to just go up and small talk, yeah, it's not a good idea.
Now, to the second point, is it appropriate to look at a woman in the gym?
I would say absolutely not.
There's no need for it.
Then of course, you know, some of these women filming themselves are putting up the videos on TikTok saying, oh, I got checked out by a creep.
They do this because they want to signal to the world that they are desirable.
Oh, look how attractive I am because all of these guys are checking me out.
That is what they're saying when they're posting this type of videos.
That being said, it's not, you know, it's not acceptable.
It's not okay to check out a woman training either.
Then again, when we're talking about these special situations, I always go into the gym, I scan around, look, okay, where which power racks are free, which powerlifting bars are free, because I don't want to use a weightlifting bar.
I want to use a powerlifting bar if I'm doing small oh for example.
So I sort of need to look around in that sense, but I don't do it to look at other individuals, neither men nor women, because I'm not there to look at anyone except for my own great likeness in the mirror.
So that is what I do at least.
So yeah, of course, that is normal decency to not look overly much at someone when they are training.
Of course, again, if you are in a powerlifting gym and you sort of train as a team, completely different.
But now I'm talking about this more commercial mainstream gyms where the videos are filmed at.
So, anyway, I just thought to give my take there.
I also want to mention how juicy my shoulders look due to strict press.
Small of Junior for the strict press.
Good stuff, good stuff.
I will actually go to the Temple of Iron now to train some more.
