Thread 76518577

I want to join a studio and do yoga like 1x a week. I already enjoy doing stretching and mobility at home but I think it would benefit me more to have a teacher.
The problem of course is that yoga is 99% girls and I read that in most of the classes you will be the only guy there.
How do you act appropriately and in a non-creepy way? Hard to believe but I just want to do yoga and not meet/hit on girls.

Don't be a sex pest, don't ogle, just exercise and maybe socialise if they approach you first.

Your mistake is giving a fuck what a woman thinks about anything ever

I have a resting bitch face and I am socially awkward. Girls wouldn't approach/talk to mr there, would they?

Male pole dancer here. Been doing it for 7 years and only had another guy in the class less than 10 times. There is no way to act other than being yourself, they really don't care that you're a guy. Dont be afraid to say hello to people either, I can tell you that the amount of people who actually introduce themselves rather than standing silently in the corner is shockingly low. Don't make it a men and women thing, take a breath, and just enjoy your class man.

I'm the same. I've been giving women then ick for decades.

Shit, that is not good. I am a NEET and my social skills are horrible and I am also very shy. I probably spill my spaghetti if someone talked to me there. A hello I can manage but at small talk my brain fails.

Social skills are like mobility. Some people are born more mobile than others, some have to stretch.

First and foremost is to acknowledge the fact that you are welcome there. If they didn't want to be around men, it would be a womens only class. Go enjoy your class man, chill and get to know some people, and aim to make it your responsibility to make the next newcomer to that class feel as welcome as possible.

Best way to avoid detection, take a middle spot on the side of the room, not at the front or very back
Yoga's great though, you don't have to engage with anyone, just enjoy the exercise, and on occasionally the view if there's something tasty.
