Today, the New York Times again tackles their favorite subject — the gym. Can you pick somebody up at the gym? Some say no. Unlike the Jane Fonda thong and Jon Travolta crotch huggers gym days of the 80's, today's gym members are chubbier, older, and too stressed out to have a sex drive.

But, others are more optimistic about meeting their dream guy or gal on the rowing machine. Hey, it happened to Miranda Hobbes and that hottie from her workout world.

"You can find similar people, whether they're in the same income bracket or time schedule or a healthy person," Ms. Brown said. "It's not a bad place to meet someone. It just doesn't happen very much."

A gym can be a good outlet to meet someone "because there's no alcohol involved," said Brooke Temner, 26, a beauty publicist who belongs to a Crunch gym on the East Side of Manhattan.

No alcohol involved? Wait, wouldn't that explain why it's a bad place to meet someone. We bet back in the day (when people hooked up on the bench press) Jane had a few g+ts before getting herself into some of those positions … not mention the outfits.
