Approaching when sweaty and not at the gym.

[Sophisticated Gent]

I when Mall Walking today at an outside mall. I was all sweaty as it was warm today. Just as I was about to finish this hot brunette (she was on par with and looked like Maggie Q) comes out of a store ahead of me. I notice her tat of a cross on her neck. She sits down on a bench. I say I like your tat. She says thanks with a big grin. I thought about sitting but didn't because I was all sweaty. Do you think I should gone ahead and sat next to her and continued the approach? I did the hard part for me and that was getting past the first smile.

I'm a sweater also. After our Wed night run I'll change back into my work clothes before we go to get a beer and sometimes I'll have some sweat marks.

I was pouring beer at an outdoor festival a couple years ago, and had a pretty good sweat worked up. I had plenty of women who complimented me and outright flirted with me.

If it's hot most folks will get it. I don't try to push the physical contact when the other person is NOT sweaty too.

But when they are ...oh shit... it is electric! Post exercise endorphins are great for making a connection. 5k's or trail runs are gold.

I had just finished a 10 mile trail run at a popular trailhead to a hiking trail and I was walking around trying to catch my breath. I was in the bottom half of the finishers but the girl who was walking the trail had no idea. She opened me with "You're cute". I had sweated through my shirt and had mud caked on my legs. So dude it can happen.

I thought about sitting but didn't because I was all sweaty.

So you just walked away I assume and didn't get a number/date?

If that's the case let me ask you this.

Let me give you two options.

Option 1: You sit down next to her with a bit of pit stain and a bit stagnated smell for good measure. In your mind you know she's either going to be repulsed and excuse herself or call you out for being sweaty in which case you don't get the girl. Or she's going to not even notice and enjoy the conversation and maybe you get a number/date.

Option 2: You worry you might be too sweaty to talk to her and she won't like you. You eject the conversation and you don't get the girl.

Which option gives you a better chance of getting the girl?

Also what do you want more? For you to get the girl and proceed to your goal of choice? Or do you want her to not be uncomfortable?

Answer that question and you will have your answer the next time you run into a situation like this.

Good luck my friend.
