If a girl came up to you in the gym and asked for you to show her how to do an exercise how would that come off?

I’d take it as someone new to the gym looking to ask for help from someone who doesn’t look unapproachable (most of the dudes at the gym look like roid monsters or old dudes) and I’d go help her out

I would take it as a girl came up to me to ask how to do an exercise. I guess I’d be glad that they chose me out of the other guys but that’s it

I’d show her how to do it and wouldn’t really think anything more of it

It usually just comes off as somebody asking for advice or somebody who’s new looking for friend. It only really comes off as flirty when they are like kinda touchy if that makes sense. Like I’ve had girls ask for advice, immediately walk away and do the exercise, maybe ask for pointers. Others come up and will like brush against me or like poke my arm or smth and they are obvi just flirting

I mean I’d take it as a bit flirty. I hate being mansplained to and I’m a guy, I feel like a woman who was doing this likely could figure out how to do an exercise herself if that was really the only goal

As someone needing gym advice. Generally speaking, of course one can make it flirty if that’s your intention

My problem is I’ve never gone to the gym with people so I’m literally always looking up YouTube videos on proper form and stuff and I honestly never know if I’m doing it right because the mirror are all taken by guys doing bicep curls or something lol

Oh ok yeah fair enough. I’d just ask then! You can always cut off something more if it goes that way

As long as you don’t do anything extra that could be taken as flirty it’s not a big deal, and if you’re really worried about it just ask multiple people and they’ll notice ur also asking others and u genuinely just want advice. Gym is very open and friendly though so usually people are more than happy to help. Also if ur worried abt approaching ppl, it sounds silly, but lit just look up the exercise. A lot of gym tracking apps have built in form diagrams and stuff too
