Ignoring the pandemic, what are the best Dallas-area gyms to meet as many girls 18-27 as possible?

I have heard that neighborhoods like Uptown, Deep Ellum, Knox-Henderson, Lower Greenville, and others may be a good place to look.

Would be open to college girls, but would prefer someone 23-25 who has her own apartment, career, etc.

Thanks for your help.

Just FYI, you clearly indicated your widening span to include 18 year old kids.[/quote]

Ok fair enough.

Ignoring the spirit of my post entirely, but that's fine.

I concede that I have dated college "kids" on occasion and would be open to it again under the right circumstances.

And since we are being frank with one another, I honestly don't care how you feel about it.

This is Texas, after all.

What about Camp Gladiator? It's more of a team type workout and there might be some ladies depending on location. I am in the 'burbs but I wonder about the Dallas proper sites.

Maybe now that the weather is better you can grab a friend and hang out at one of the patios with a friend and there will be groups of ladies out with friends.

I truly have so much empathy for singles in this time. We are all thankful that we live close to my brother so he hasn't been alone throughout the entire last year. Better times ahead! So many reasons to be hopeful.

Thank you for your understanding and for the tips!

My husband and I met when I was 21 and he had just turned 30. I was super mature, he was a "late bloomer." It was a little weird for people at first but guess who just celebrated 20 years of marriage? Surrounded by divorced people, we are still going strong.

There used to be a Camp Gladiator at Glencoe Park in Dallas (zip 75206) and I walked my dog there all the time. Looks like its moved to the Food Truck park at Trader Joe’s on Lower Greenville. Participants seemed to match the OP’s target range.

Show up at Luke's at 6AM on Wednesday morning for a run. I haven't been in awhile but lots of people to run with there and I found it easy to meet people through that run when I first moved to Dallas many years ago.

Can you confirm that this is the place to be for the 20s crowd?

If so, that would be amazing.. Thank you!

Not at all. Only way to truly know is to experience it yourself. They have trial passes.

The only thing I would suggest is to be careful using a gym as a pickup spot. You dont want to become known as "that guy" who all the girls at the gym know is constantly on the prowl. It would totally kill your chances.

I don't plan to hit on anyone, just be friendly and organically make friends and see what happens.

Thank you for your help!

Just FYI part of the reason women sequester themselves in studios and classes with mostly other women is that they'd like to work out without being "checked out" constantly. It makes most women I know extremely uncomfortable when approached at a gym. And I know you didn't mean to sound that way but your post was very cringey.

If you want to organically meet active adults maybe diversify the type of group activity you engage in, take up certain sports, for example, maybe run, bike, swim... many of these can be done in teams/ groups facilitated by gyms.

Sports allow for more organic social interaction than the traditional gym experience.

The gym and the grocery store are two places that most women DEFINITELY don't like being hit on at. I thought every decent, self-respecting and woman-respecting guy knew this...
