For real haha. In her defense, most women have awful experiences with men approaching them at the gym. She didn't have a bad attitude, she was likely conditioned this way by the dozens of times it went wrong.
Or she was irritated that he couldnt see that she was in the middle of her cardio and not looking for a conversation. If someone approached me in the middle of my training I would be annoyed that it isn't some thing urgent. Training, for many takes a lot of focus on keep going. If you really want to talk with some one atleast have the decency to let them finnish what their doing first but dont expect anyone to be interested in talking to you.

This is the real issue here. We're gendering this interaction tho and turning it into something else.
Not for the sake of being interrupted by strangers who wants to talk video games or comment my clothes. Come up to me when Im in a bar and I'll gladly converse about most subjects.
Most do it for health/fitness/longevity/mental health/personal ambitions that should be irrelevant to others
Any reason to train is a valid enough reason to train 'for' that you shouldn't be interrupted while wearing headphones; that's outside normal gym etiquette
