I can't imagine the effort it would take to get their attention, not to mention I'd have to ruin a workout and wait until next week to beat my last PR. Wrong place to look IMO.
I have gotten approached by fat and ugly chicks though. Last year some very overweight girl came up and talked to me and asked if we had ever gone to the same school before. Then she ended the convo by saying we'll meet again. I thought to myself well if you regularly come to the gym and lose 75% of your weight then maybe lol. This year a chubby girl asked me how the leg curl machine works after she took the pins out on the settings so that the pads fell down completely. She bent over trying to use the machine and showed me this landscape of fat mass and cellulites on her hamstring/butt area. I set the pins and said it should work now, and put my headphones on again.
If they look fit they probably take training seriously. When they do they don't want to get interrupted, like me. So you probably end up with fuglies trying their chances in the gym.
Re: AKD, that makes sense, if you see someone regularly you can have a conversation. Though I train at midnight and its just a few guys in the gym lol. Otherwise the gym feels like the wrong place to try.
