The Gym Will Not Improve Your Dating Life
If you've been spending hours at the gym each week hoping to meet that special someone, you've been wasting your time. According to the new Zagat guide to dating—yes, they're doing dating now—"less than 2 percent had luck finding love at the gym, in a place of worship, or on a blind date." (We're guessing gay men hooking up in the showers at David Barton or Crunch didn't qualify as "dating.") Ten percent of the people reported that "random encounters in public places" was a great way to meet new people. Just something to keep in mind the next time a weird guy starts rubbing up against you on the subway. [Zagat]
