2. Change at the gym
Most cruising happens in the locker room, truthfully. You’ll find that most guys don’t want to
be cruised too hard out on the floor. I love cruising and getting cruised, but I also take my
gym time very seriously. If someone is overtly cruising me during a lift, it can be distracting
and a little annoying.
3. Get naked
Every time I go to the gym, I get naked three times: once when I’m changing into my gym
clothes, again when I’m sweaty and taking them off, and when I change back into my day
clothes after showering. The repeated disrobing give guys three opportunities to sneak a
peek and make a move.
4. Wear your usual gym attire
Don’t wear the shortest, tightest shorts you own. It’s sexier to wear actual athletic gear, not a
cute club tank.
That said, don’t wear baggy basketball shorts. Wear workout clothes that fit, that show off
your body (shorts should fall mid-thigh, never lower than the knee). Show off your personal-
ity. Some guys can get away with teal sleeveless hoodies printed with neon cats, but I can’t.
(Actually, I would totally wear that, tbh).
Cruising is fun (partly) because of its illicit, wordless subtlety. Don’t be too obvious and try not
to look like you’re hunting and thirsty AF. You can dress in skimpy clothes and still be wearing
suitable athletic gear. I do.
5. Stand next to him at the urinal
Close-proximity peeing is one the oldest tricks in the book. And it’s still one of the best.
When you’re standing next to him at the urinal, glance at him and give the nod. If there’s a
divider, do not attempt to peek at his peen — not without his permission.
Let him know you noticed him. That’s all you can do. That gives him the go-ahead to glance
back at you, or to nod down, directing your eyes to what he knows you want to see. If he’s
bold (or if there’s no one else in the bathroom), he may turn sideways and show you what
he’s packing.
6. Don’t wear headphones on the floor
Headphones are useful if you want to finish your workout and leave. However, if you’re on
the prowl, be present and notice people. Headphones read “I am not interested so leave me
