It happened at the gym I've been going to for the past 4 months. She is a relatively tall white chick but with tanned skin and some tasteful tattos. Probably early 20s like me. Black hair and nice eyes (I forget what colour) and most importantly an absolutely killer body. Perfect ass and tits - not obnoxiously large, just well proportioned to the rest of her body - just the way I like it. Her usual outfit is yoga shorts and a crop top, leaving her very well defined midsection visible. Point is, she's fucking hot.

Okay, so what made me feel like approaching her? Well It's simple - I never see her with another guy ever. What I did notice is that she was always glued to her phone. Like whenever she wasn't using her hands to stretch or lift weights she would be staring at her phone and smiling. I managed to get a glimpse of her screen on a few separate occasions just to make sure she wasn't sexting chad, but it looked like she was reading/writing tik tok comments. I took this as a sign she is single (retarded thinking on my part I know)

Okay, so here's what happened:

She's in a quiet corner of the gym doing some sort of stretch routine on a yoga mat. She was in the doggystyle position, so naturally I was taking a good look as subtlety as possible. She then sat down and starting typing away at her phone as usual.

Now is my time to strike.

I walk up to her and say "excuse me". She takes out her earbuds and looks me in the eye. I had never seen her face this close before, and she was even more beautiful than I initially thought. This really scared me, but it was too late. There was no going back now. So I said "I just wanted to say you are absolutely stunning". Her eyes go wide, and she says "Oh thank you. I really appreciate that".

This is where I fuck up. You see, I had never heard this woman speak before, and she had a really hot voice. This, compounded with her insane looks, made me completely shut down. I simply could not risk embarrassing myself by asking this woman for her number and getting rejected. All of the confidence I went in with just evaporated instantly. So I just smiled back at her and then walked away with my hands visibly shaking.

So yeah, I completely fumbled the fucking bag. I have seen her since, but she hasn't said anything to me. Is there any saving this? Should I say something else next time I see her? Is it over?
 
you should put 405 on the bench with suicide grip

Ask her for her number
 
its basically over bud first impressions are everything you already had less than a 20 percent success rate since their no way you where anywhere near her level since your on this site now she thinks your a weirdo it be best to avoid her from now on
since youve already wasted your only chance

Why?

holy fuck man she must be the most retarded person on the planet if she thinks you said this with your body language as a common courtesy, she knows you want to glaze her to hell and back and doesnt talk to you, im not an expert but it doesnt sound good to me
 
Lmfao this was really funny :lul: :lul:
What a dumb move tbh, if she really was so hot and beautiful then how did you even think to have a chance with her.

this is so cringe
 
good story, I enjoyed reading it
 
Next time just go for broke and ask "can I lick the sweat from between your ass cheeks?" - I hear foids love a man that appreciates their perspiration :lul:
 
No offense but there's absolutely zero chance she will fall in love with you
 
We need to normalize talking about going the indirect route if we ever approach foids for reasons like this (and because it increases your odds as a sub8; 20 seconds long direct approaches are for those who have the social capital (moggers and red blooded delinquents who already have the ‘idgaf about my reputation’ low inhibition), because you direct approaching = harassment & catcalling, while chad direct approaching = sweet guy).

Now that femhole walks away with an ego. You’re better off signaling to her that she’s unattractive and never seeing her again than to fluff up some tiktok rotten toilet’s ego.

Easiest way to indirect approach is to ask if she knows something logistical, then (continually) use the blackpill to observe if her reaction seems worth keeping the conversation, then, at some point, relate it to something interpersonal. If she doesn’t seem to shift emotions or shut down, then begin to “close”

eg:
:incel:“I’ve heard that this gym has the arm bicep and tricep combo extendo machine (make this shit up if you have to). Have you seen it here?”
:foidSoy:“ummmm, I’m not sure tee hee. Maybe I have, but I’m not positive:owo:
:incel:“Blah blah blah, I have seen couples working out on it with the girl sitting on the guy’s lap”
OBSERVE HER REACTION
Then do whatever normie flirting. The less direct, the better.
Getting the number aka “closing” will feel natural.


If I was some LTN or above in smv, this is how I’d approach foids.

IF YOU’RE ND, IDC WHAT YOU DO, JUST DON’T OPEN WITH A COMPLEMENT UNLESS YOU’RE HIGH PSL

Unlucky but tbh i would've never complimented no need to gas up her already inflated ego.
 
no woman like that is ever single.

forget it. she could have an entire roster of chads on speed dial if shes as hot as you say she is.
 
Why even bother. Surprised you didn’t get reported or hit with a look of pure disgust.
 
Time to cancel your gym membership methinks
 
First gym is not a good place to hit on women because they either want to excercise or do some videos for their Socials
Second if you're not common with talkin to women you should start with becky instead of Stacy, to get used to it
