GAY Gym CRUISING (For Beginners) | Patrick Marano

Going to the gym is a rite of passage for the gays! It's our church. Our religion if you will.
So, naturally, the gays will do what the gays will do (namely gay cruising!)
In this video we look at some simple ways to cruise for best results!

I’m not a big fan of playing in the gym because I don’t wanna loose my membership if I get caught but I love to pick up guys there. This happened a week after turning 18. This super muscular and hairy daddy was across the room and I was throwing eyes. He started throwing eyes too which was the first time this happened to me at the gym. I saw him head to the locker room and so I went too. We changed, watched each other undress and dress, and both started walking out. Right before we left the locker room he put his phone in my hands and said put your number in. I ended up going back to his place for the rest of the evening ;)

[@PatrickMarano]

Nice!

[@mentonerodominicano]

That's a way better result than just some messy cruising hook up.

[@scruffysean3640]

I picked up this straight guy at the gym one time and brought him home. Well, two times, actually. He was very green when it came to playing with guys, but he was definitely curious. The first time I had him over, he had fun, but was just a little too nervous and inhibited. But the second time... OMG. There was no stopping him. (He discovered he *really* liked rimming.)

[@jjvillian]

My gym, only old wrinkle men go to the locker to shower and walk around butt naked... All the nice looking and fit ones put in their workout and leave.

[@DouglasVishalBrook]

A friend of mine got caught by gym employee - who was livid and homophonically irate and disgusted. Employee basically yelled at my friend and his new gym buddy all they way from getting dressed to the walk of shame out past reception and outside! I was at a gym in Sydney which was in need of renovations. Then on entry to the mens change room it was as if someone had spent a million dollars - brand new tiles and cleverly designed shower cubicles - private and group - like some fantasy section in a Gay Cruise Club. They had their priorities in the right place when spending the gym renovation budget.

[@PatrickMarano]

Let me share my funny gym story. I belonged to a gym in Denver and was a regular. I had several "gym friends." This one guy I got to know at the gym was right up my alley. He was nice, funny, and sweet. I took the big step of asking him out for lunch since we are finishing at the same time. He accepted. We went to a nice Thai restaurant. We were getting to know each other better and I decided to ask if he was seeing anyone. He looked at me smiled and stated no he does not have a girlfriend. I confessed that I thought he was gay. He said no. We had a great lunch and went out separate ways. And yes, he still spoke to me at the gym. My gaydar must have been on the blink.

[@PatrickMarano]

he sounds like a cool guy though

I like my gym too much to do anything heavy there but I use the sauna to show off and check out the goods and if there's chemistry I'll just be like "Hey I'm gonna grab a shower but I'd like to get your number if you wanna meet up sometime outside of the gym" and that usually works unless they're closeted married guys who are just up for semi-anonymous fun.

[@zucchiniboy007]

Dude why would you get with married guys, that’s pretty messed up.

[@dylanbuchman8128]

Oh God that story is so mortifying I would've stolen a hoodie from the locker room and snuck out lmao my old gym was great for this because the showers actually didn't expose anything--the doors were opaque enough that you couldn't see inside, and there were no slits in between the door and the wall if you shut it all the way, the bottom wasn't open, and the sauna was right next to the showers. There wasn't a steam room, but it never mattered because for some reason the lights in the sauna were always out so it was only one dim light or even only the light coming from the shower area outside lol I was shocked things like this even happened there. My town is gay friendly and there are gay men here, but it's definitely not a city and I would've never guessed things like that went on there

Many many years ago when I was about 22 years old, a couple of new gym buddies asked me to join them in the sauna for some fun. I said I would think about it, but I never took them up on their offer. You see I have cerebral palsy and I use crutches. I was afraid that I might fall and injure myself on the slick floor leading to the sauna. I am 65 years old now, married and in the closet. I think about that missed opportunity often. I think my life would have been totally different. Why didn't I just express my concern to my new friends?! Sigh!

And it led to a brief (and very discreet) relationship in the outside world. Still think about him on occasion because he sure was great in the sack.

It’s easy for me. Before I met my fiancé I would just turn on my Grindr while working out. I’m a regular at my non gay gym and I’m lean/shredded but not bulky. Most guys don’t /didn’t realize I’m gay based on my physique. Being a dark skinned pretty boy was a slight hint though. I got so many “straight “ guys who would have me meet them around the corner and if they were hot (most were) we’d usually have a hot makeout sess. It’s crazy bc it happened multiple times. I even had a stocker (no I’m 100% not kidding) who would follow me around the gym and message me. I eventually had to tell him he wasn’t me type but it didn’t work lol. I switched gyms and obviously blocked him on Grindr. I’m more asexual than anything so sex and oral does nothing for me . This is why I had so much luck with straight jocks bc after asking multiple my answers were almost always the same. It’s because you (me) are very handsome and masculine so it’s ok to try makin out with you (in their minds that didn’t make them gay). I sometimes do miss having Grindr and being at the gym lol. My thing was a hot makeout with other clean masc jocks. Great vid btw

[@PatrickMarano]

thanks for sharing

[@trevaush]

Exactly the same thing happened to me, exactly with same emotional reaction, at the old Toronto YMCA. Differences were that the room was filled with steam and there were only a couple of small door windows looking in. So the attendant, a young guy, had an agenda. I had all the fear you had, plus maybe possible arrest, which he was threatening. Outside I was silent accepting his lecture abuse, but inside I was fuming. He actually got my Y membership canceled and I had a “record” with the Y that took a few years to erase.

[@kelkeller2328]

Funny video, yet again. I gotta tell you, the Minneapolis downtown YMCA was heaven. The hottest guys went there along with everyone else, and I consistently had hot sex in the showers, jacuzzi and dry sauna. I even met a boyfriend there and a guy who coached me in my Portuguese. I was constantly astounded how easy it was to have hot sex with really hot guys despite it being a YMCA. The gay gym in Atlanta was also amazing. I forget the name of it, but there were clear shower partitions and it was very common for guys to expose themselves before they entered my totally closed stall. Gee, I think I'll start going to the local gym again, now that COVID has tapered down a bit.

Great videos as usual but missing Cris. Planet Fitness doesn't seem to have steam rm/saunas/whirlpools. If you're taking topic ideas, can you do one about guys with broken gaydars? I came out a decade ago (I'm now 53) and I still have not been able to detect all the little signs, unless I'm in TO's village. I just stare away if someone looks at me because I assume they're straight (again, not able to detect gayness). I've always known that looking at a straight guy can get you into physical confrontations so I don't hold any gaze when someone looks at me, at the gym at least where testosterone runs high. Yeah, I know, counter-productive. PF is not exactly known for gay clientele like Goodlife Bloor/Yonge or Central Y. Changing gyms isn't a practical option but learning how to tell if anyone is gay/gayish without having a gay buddy with me, would be very valuable. If you want to delve deeper, then how do gays guys deal with guys with broken gaydars. Thanks ps. More Pats & Cris vids, please. That series is awesome

[@PatrickMarano]

Thanks for the comment! I have to say, you're one of the only people that have requested Cris... most ppl didn't like him. I don't know how you couldn't like him though! lol As for gaydar, that's a great topic for a video thank you! As for gym cruising and your 'broken' gaydar... if a guy is making eye contact IN the change room... there's a good chance he's gay.

Several times I've almost caught a hot guy but things keep happening to shut that prospect down. Last year Covid-19 happened and the guy I wanted was lost when LA Fitness closed for almost 3 months.

Women do it too. Have you heard of Gym Thots? Straight men do it as well. Ex. A > Straight guy eying a certain women in the gym as they work out noticing ever so slightly how her boobs or butt bounces as she runs on treadmill and how cute she looks. Trying to see if she might be noticing him back as you get done doing sets on the bar bells.... That's basically what gay cruising them accept as opposed to a dinner, date, getting a number you get a 😛🍆🤯or more.

[@em4227]

Well I agree to a degree but you do need to go to the gym and feel it out

[@domc8450]

Of all cruising venue types, I’m the most fearful of gyms for obvious reasons of getting caught. Also, to me, if you’re going into it with horny brain, you wouldn’t be focused enough on working out - at least if it were me. It’s for sure a buffet of better looking guys than other cruisy spots but the prospects of getting what you want are too risky and that paranoia alone ruins the appetite. If it so happens that something happens after a genuine workout, cool..but it shouldn’t be a place you walk into hoping to get off. That said, heard many success stories either of guys hooking up at the gym or getting numbers but there’s just something about it for me that doesn’t sit well lol. Lastly, I think the thrill of gym cruising for most gay men are the prospects of finding a straight dl guy which lots of us fantasize about. To me if it’s other out and proud gay guys cruising each other at the gym, I feel your local bathhouse is practically the same in its offerings.

[@PatrickMarano]

All of that.

Wow ! Gym cruising ! ... like parks, cars or public. (maybe this leads into your over 40 videos). I (mostly) met a guy at one of these places and then took him home or his place.

I met a guy on Scruff (?) who said we could mess around at the upscale area of the Sauna(YMCA). [ Why ? ... there are, at least, 2+ nice bathhouses in VYR ] We got busted and got interviewed by a staff member typing in my WA state ID info ... but I got up, took my ID and walked out -- what could they say/do ? Tho I have not been back to the YMCA/YVR since. :-/

[@PatrickMarano]

omg... that was my experience too

[@guygrip9634]

@@PatrickMarano I SHARED THAT EXPERIENCE ABOUT POOL BUT I DIDNT DO THING. AND THATS PROBLEM TODAY. THOSE WHO DONT GET IN TROUBLE. AND THATS BEFORE I KNEW IM DEALIN WITH LOW VIBRATION OF NEGATIVE PEOPLE. THATS BEFORE I LEARNED THERES NO IN BETWEEN. GO WITH LIGHT OR GO WITH DARK. SO. ERASE THAT CAUSE IT WASNT TO BE SHARED. IT WASNT WHAT I EXPECTED SO I LEARNED. DONT THROW DIAMONDS IN TO FIRE.

[@guygrip9634]

Other possible ideas to "get noticed" while unclothed: have an interesting tattoo in a provocative location (it doesn't have to be large); OR get a provocative tanline with a speedo, micro-bikini or thong and be sure it is seen (locker room, sauna or showers); OR if you have a pierced nipple (or anything else that is pierced) 😉 , be sure to REMOVE the jewelry in the locker room BEFORE working out, and then REPLACE the jewelry in your piercing after showering -- doing both actions with maximum performance drama. All of those suggestions above are good "conversation starters." Hey, it works for me. 😁🌈

Can I get the gaydar app. I usually have to have someone slap me with it on my face to know they are a into me... Lol....😂😂😂the lookout🤣🤣🤣

[@savagesfortruth]

I’m a straight women but I used this bathroom technique to lure my boyfriend into the shower with me but boy he did not understand the signal was missed It

[@PatrickMarano]

haha, maybe it only works with gay men?

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

I'm straight and now understand why guys are openly looking at my junk then into my eyes. I kinda like it. Lol

[@PatrickMarano]

That's the right attitude! It's a compliment!

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

@@PatrickMarano Maybe I have a secret? LOL! I'd love someone to try and turn me! Start with a massage, and see where it goes? Having more curiosity than a cat, I need to know everything about everything before I decide on a matter! It'll never happen though, because I look intimidating (or so I'm told by everyone)! but I'm not really, though!

[@sparkleprizm199]

Omg

[@jaffaorange3809]

I started working out at the gym six months ago. Lots of gorgeous guys there, for sure. But... I don't have gaydar and I never pick up signs. Besides, I'm probably the only gay in the gym. #foreveralone #whattodo #ineedaman

[@PatrickMarano]

there's always another gay at the gym

[@Thethyck4445]

Despite me going to the gym everyday I can only maybe make out two gay people at the gym out of hundreds that go there every day

[@PatrickMarano]

haha I'm sure there are a lot more

[@andyroo9381]

So, Patrick, you're not going to divulge what type of action was taking place when you were caught?!? Are we left to our own imagination? BTW, I've never had luck with gym cruising. I'm not that confident a person.

[@PatrickMarano]

I'll leave it to the imagination... or maybe for my Patrons! lol

[@markboudreaux868]

This all reminds me of the YMCA I used to go to to was a hot cruse gym mmmmmmm 😜

[@chickenfarm09]

I've seen perfect places but apparently nobody gets it these days. And pandemic killed a lot of amenities in the gyms. I know places where you can't shower after a workout or swim, and the younger crowd is perfectly okay with this because they never shower after workouts they walk home sweaty or get in their car sweaty. I think it is so gross. I'd never get in my car all sweat soaked. Just like they say everything woke turns to poop. Gyms with no facilities are poop now and yet still want people to pay for memberships.

[@PatrickMarano]

Yup... it will pass though, eventually....

[@oceancold6093]

Oh boy I’ve been watch all the time at gym from bunch of guys nothing happened😅

[@PatrickMarano]

It's a delicate dance lol

[@marckid93]

I guess im one of the few gay men who are scared af of guys in general (gay and straight) and the gym.

[@PatrickMarano]

lol, scared how?

[@marckid93]

⁠@@PatrickMaranoMen in general make me nervous so whenever i go to a gym or even just out period i dont check out guys unless one approaches me.

[@DouglasVishalBrook]

It's a covert mission! You have options LOL!

[@since1876]

"Do not try this at home" What about the gym? 🥺

[@brockreynolds870]

Ah... the Jacuzzi....... egg drop soup.

[@JoeB-iu4zc]

Usually in the sauna I show some bulge and catch if someone looks. I do a quick touch to see if someone looks. If they do the same game on. In the shower I leave the curtain slightly open and you might see across and someone doing the same. If ur both passing glances, its a good chance somethings starting.

[@PatrickMarano]

you got it!

[@davidperry4013]

I like cruising in the gym but, I limit myself on how far I go because I do not want to risk my membership. I am pretty much happy with hugs and kisses with guys at the gym. Maybe do some sensual kissing in the gym sauna but, no sex.

[@PatrickMarano]

hugs and kisses? how romantic

[@MrBillkaz]

its unbelievable the paralyzing and total , call nit trancsdence , we're shift in my sexual being, which, like I said.. the fateful night was surreal in so many ways, but the one being just a mere fact at 8:30 for a guy who was so sexually charged unapologetically, driven not like a fuck boy type driven

[@Masterwokeyman]

Ieee laddy, it’s about having a lil fun, lol

[@ralphsepulveda5335]

So sorry - this has nothing to do with this particular video (which, by the way, I also loved), but I just posted a response to another video you did months ago, the one about your Grindr experiment, and then it occurred to me that you, Patrick, would probably never see it and so decided to re-post (paste) it here where you would be likelier to see it, since I'd really like you to consider what I have to say. So here it is: This is so interesting, especially for someone like me who has never been on (though heard lots about) Grindr. It's also my first time here. Great video; keep doing this. I think it would be even more interesting if you could re-do the experiment with a picture of your smiling face, because even though everything about your physical appearance definitely fits into what I would call "my type" and suggests that I would hugely enjoy having sex with you, I'm pretty sure I would never have "tapped" your picture. That picture alone has no way of communicating the sheer charisma of your charming personality, which is what (to me) really makes you even sexier and makes me want to jump into bed with you all the more. But then, I guess a picture showing you with that great dazzling smile of yours would defeat the main purpose of the app, which presumably is to work out a quick and easy hook-up? I would love to know what the results of that second experiment would look like.

[@PatrickMarano]

Thank you Ralph... you're not the first person that told me I should have smiled in the picture lol.... next time I guess I will!
