    There are many beautiful girls in, of course ,minimal clothes at the gym. It's distracting and I'm afraid it might be considered as some form of relapse? I mean, sometimes I try to not look at all but they're pretty much everywhere. I thought about trying to possibly work out early in the morning but I don't know If I can handle it.

    Weird thing is, I don't have any urge to M and/or watch P. I sometimes fantasise and desperately try not to. I just have the urge to be with a woman right now.

  2. What relapse. Enjoying how a women looks is not a relapse. Unless your goal of nofap is that you are trying to become a gay person.

  3. You're doing fine. You can try earlier to make things easier on yourself. Also practice looking them in the eyes and a polite hello. It will help strengthen your social interactions and help with viewing them as a person instead of a pretty object.
    Keep up the good work.

    I know exactly what you mean! Luckily the gym I go to is one of the more unpopular ones in town. There generally isn’t many people in there at all, let alone women, when I go in there. It’s hard. Just try to not stare and lust. A couple quick glimpses and maybe like mentioned above, look them in the eyes and give them a hello and a smile.

    But it is very hard when they dress with such little and tight clothes!

    I'm afraid that It'll reach a point where I'd just go back to square one and start watching P again to relieve myself. Some of those girls are so beautiful that I feel like God is testing me. I'm talking about really hot but not model like or Pstar like, but actual, real, natural beauty. I don't view them as objects, more as women out of my league. I'm more in a dire need of an intimate, loving relationship rather than just sex. I don't think I'd be able to enjoy meaningless sex at this point. I want something with love and passion.

    I'm kinda insecure. Kinda very insecure. So that's a hard task for me.

  6. OK that makes more sense. I would slowly build up your confidence and self esteem. The book "release your breaks" is good.
     
  7. With some brave practice and time the insecurities will fade, especially when you get a hello back or even a short conversation.
    Don't worry too much. Relax and breath.

    Wow man. I know exactly how you feel. Your not alone!
     
  9. I know exactly what you mean. I have an easier time now keeping my eyes off them. I focus on my work out for one.

    Also many of them seem mean, and I know for a fact that one is flat out mean, angry, and doesn't like men. Makes it easy to not look at them. I just imagine that they're all mean and looking for an opportunity to get me into trouble. Might not be true but it's easy to not look at someone that I'm convinced hates me and wants me dead.

    There have been only two nice women that I've met at my gym. One doesn't go anymore.

    Gym girls drive me crazy too, the freaking tight leggings! Just wear headphones and focus on your workout and try not to look at them, or do what was mentioned about looking them in the eyes and just saying hello. The worse part is that you're not having any O so the sexual drive just becomes so intense! But if you wait long enough, all that intensity goes away and things start to calm down

  12. Try going early in the morning on weekends. That's when I go and there's usually fewer people at that time. Mainly a much older crowd too. The young attractive people are still home in bed because they were probably out the night before.

    • remember the 3 second rule'
    • make a game/competition of how many you can avoid looking at - build strenth.
    • intentionally ignore them or make eye contact first (only if appropriate, not the creep stare) .
    • Tell yourself if you give into looking you are giving away you're on power. Many women are just there to work out -but let's face it some like to show off their bodies (I see men doing this now too which is really effeminate and narcissistic) don't give in, it will drive them nuts. :)
     
  13. Also I’ve noticed for my gym, might be for others, there’s a time period where younger people have dressed for work after hitting the shower and are heading out to their job. Then after there’s a slow time. When I’m at the gym between 8am-ish to 10am time frame I don’t see many young women.

    Same is true for the 1pm to 2pm period. 11pm to 3am is perfect. 4am to 8am the super motivated and super fit women start showing up. They also show up at lunch time hours as well as after 4-5pm up until 11pm. I’ve been at the gym at all sort of different hours and that’s been my casual observation.

    Best if you can just discipline yourself not to look but if you’re having trouble might want to consider the times you go.
     
  14. I've set a goal to place my mind at ease for a year, and move on from there. I do not rule out meeting someone special afterwards, but for now I just need to cool off. Maybe you've moved passed this phase, and you're ready to take on a relationship. Just make sure you really get to know the lady, before you commit yourself sexually. Think of yourself as a innocent friend or father figure that just wants to work out together share conversation, and before you know it she'll start teasing you.

    My solution (although not practical to everybody) is to workout at home.

    There are a number of discount stores where exercise equipment is surprisingly affordable. They are not the space-age treadmills that count your calories and take your pulse, but they do the job. I figured that I would be paying more for membership than purchasing some equipment myself.

    I bought an elliptical, bench and free-weights and put them in my basement. There is no need for me to go to the gym. No risk of temptation in my own home.
     
  16. Gym girls give me the motivation to better myself.

    It actually happened the other day that I was about to do a final set of deadlifts, when a hot girl in pink leggings walked into the gym and I got an eyefull. My reaction? I put another 5kg on the barbell and broke my personal best.

    Convert your distraction into your exertion; use the distraction to intensify your workout.

    I think it does not count to be a relapse unless you see them with the eyes of lust.
    Humans are social animals and there is a need to be with other humans in your case its women, it depends and vary from person to person.
    Women are beautiful and we must appreciate their beauty.
    The above line is very pious and thats a strong objective to achieve from this journey of nofap, women should not be objectified.
    So if there are hot women around don't go in the guilt mode of relapse. Its not porn, feel proud that you are the driver of the vehicle of your life and when you do that you will exhibit a very strong alluring energy which will attract all the hot women around you, appreciate them, flirt with them socialize with them, and control the amount of blood being pumped inside your pants and the dopamine in your brain.
    When you are filled with the all the nutrients, you exhibit a strong energy and women feel those energy, thats the reason why many of the not so famous and not good looking guyz had hotties as their girlfriends and loosers just fapped to porn.

    Nofap is amazing, it gives you power like superheroes, like MJ got attracted to peter parker after he became spiderman.
     
  19. I don't go to gym anymore, but I would sometimes be disciplined enough to not stare too long, or other times I'd just gawk. I try to look at it as just part of your daily life. I've just learned to accept there will be attractive girls everywhere, including outside the gym, and you won't be able to control their presence all the time. Nowadays, I aim to just look in an acknowledging way, but not in a perverted way. Like, good on you for being so attractive kinda thing.
