Me neither, gym seems an especially weird place to meet people. Aren't most people at gyms just trying to get their workout in and get out? I can't imagine trying to strike up conversation at the gym. Feel like it would be like trying to start a conversation on public transport. Another big no no.

- GuB-42 6y agoI think you are better off with a more technical sport if you want to make friends. One where a significant part of it involves learning a technique rather than repetition. For example it could be martial arts, where getting to know your opponent is really important, and it can turn into friendship once the fight is over. Or maybe climbing, where there are many occasions to talk with others, maybe discussing your technique while you are resting between climbs. And of course, team sports.
