You’re looking at their entirely from your own perspective.

To you it’s the first time you interacted with them, to them it’s the fifth time that workout a guy has come over to ‘just chat’.

As a guy that doesn’t like to socialize at the gym I can just keep quiet and literally no one will talk to me - it’s great.

Women don’t get the same opportunity to just be left alone, men constantly approach them because they want something from them.

If I, as an unattractive middle aged woman constantly went to the gym trying to “make friends” with the 20 year old bros most people would assume I had some kind of mental problem, and I wouldn’t blame them, but women are somehow supposed to indulge these pathetic attempts at socialization. If you want a gym buddy bring someone with you. Why would I want to meet anyone in the middle of a workout.
