Scoring a date is done at the gym

Are you not sticking to your New Year's resolution to spend more time at the gym? And are you also not having much luck in love? Well, that might be related. Because it seems that you have the best chance of scoring a good date at the gym. No less than 45% of respondents say they keep their eyes extra open for a potential date while at the gym. This was researched by dating website Lexa, and if anyone knows a lot about dating, it's them, right?.

I think I approach it the wrong way, because once I've dragged myself to the gym, that's already something I'm proud of. Let alone that I do my make-up and/or hair before heading that way. I just wash it off again anyway? But I actually need to make sure I'm looking good when I go to show off at the weights (which probably has mostly humorous value too).

I'm not completely alone in this, because half of the singles indicate that they actually spend extra time on a nice outfit. By the way, sports in general is a great opportunity to flirt, because running and dance classes are also favorites among respondents.

36% is actually really motivated to find the right partner at the gym, they even go there specifically for that. Not to get fit, but for love. A nice bonus is of course that you get fit in the process.

The top 5 sports activities where you can find love is actually concluded with on the slopes — which I can understand. Or rather, especially during après-ski seems like a great moment to hook up with that cute ski instructor. And last but very not least: the tennis court. Well, I started playing tennis again last year and have a bit of experience in that, and I can tell you that flirting goes a lot better when you can actually hit a ball over the net. I still need to practice a bit more, though.
