Take up yoga - guys perspective

[fjdude]

Just wanted to know fellow terbites' experiences w/ taking yoga lessons with the view of meeting single women.

I started taking salsa lessons about 6 months ago and was hoping to meet some single women - NONE!!! The only good thing that came out of it is that now i can do some cool spins and can actually salsa dance.

So i'm now thinking of taking up yoga classes - just wondering how approachable women are - in my mind i'm thinking its just women who are there to do their yoga and then go straight back to work/home etc and don't really go to yoga studios to meet/hang out w/ ppl.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like you should try speed dating. Women go there to meet men, not to discover their inner chi.

Hey man

Yep, it is a dead end. It always looks promising on the surface but the girls won't talk to you and it might creep them out to be approached in a yoga class.

Best to try lavalife, at least the women on there know what they are there for..

You are right. They won't be interested. Yoga class is not good for meeting women. On the other hand, you will learn yoga. So it won't be wasted time.

Yoga has been a good place to meet women, for me. Not during the class but afterwards, when everyone is in their happy place and a bit spacy, its time for idle and harmless chit chat. Take it slowly and after about 3 classes or so, simply ask whomever you are interested in if she wants to go for a coffee or tea. Yoga is frequented mostly by women so the above poster who said you might look creepy, is correct. A guy stands out so if you come across as a player you risk being ostracized. Its not a quick pick up place but if you are truly a nice normal guy you can be seen to be a bit self-effacing by doing all that funky balancing stuff.

So, take it slowly, figure out whom you want to spend more time with in the class, discreetly determine her status (maybe ask the instructor about the lady in question) then just ask her out. Don't do it publically though, and don't be seen to be fawning over her or to be over enthusiastic over her in the yoga room, because that will mark you as a creep to the other ladies. Also sit near the front of the room so you aren't seen to be perving out on their asses during class. Its all about making the ladies comfortable so they can relax during the class but notice there is a nice single guy up front that they might like to go out with. Hopefully you are not a creep but if you are, you have to be able to fake not being one. Good luck.

This is pretty much good advice for any part of your life, no matter who you are or what you're doing.

Haha, no... so you can meet a lot of fit, toned hotties who are super-flexible and take good care of their bodies. Also, it's great exercise and will improve your health and your looks.

Stop

Talking

Now.


...sheesh.

Here is the deal.

Do not do anything with the goal to meet women. Live your life and be happy with how you live it, and the women will come.

I do not go out of my way to pick up women, but they come, because they see I am confident and happy with myself. Sitting here trying to find ways to meet women reeks of desperation and no women like that.

Just a heads up!

Get some game, buddy. Just 'cause you can't work it doesn't mean us real men are going to shut down.

I'll stop talking now and let you get back to whatever floats your boat. Merry Christmas. Sorry you can't get laid.

I take Yoga classes and went out with a couple of the girls in my class - agreed that the time to chat is after class. Not the best place to meet women, but certainly not bad. I don't go to meet dates, I go for the excercise and if a meet a hot girl and chat her up, so be it.

 

[Dewalt]

You are a moron. Get out of my fishing hole you clueless wonder.

Considering that yoga classes are 90% women, I would think that the odds of meeting someone are pretty high. Yeah, women don't go to yoga classes to meet men, but they don't go grocery shopping or to starbucks or to a bookstore to meet men either and yet it is still possible to meet women in all of those places.

 

[Thunderballs]

Hmmm. A very slim chance of hooking up with a very flexible woman. I'd take those odds.

You should stick with the salsa. Women take dance lessons in order to meet guys whereas in yoga, that's probably the last thing on their mind. I've done quite well with women through dance. The trick is to be a really good dancer though which requires more than a couple of lessons. Learning to dance beats playing video games; at least I get to play with girls.
