Well SG, I dunno what to tell you. My wife & kids got me this for Father's day. We were members of the Y, but it was further away, and they felt that we would go more often if the place was closer and had longer hours. They have proven to be correct so far.
Socially inclined? Not me. If I saw you on the street and we happened to be passing each other, I might speak to you, especially if something funny or unusual happened, but again, I go do my workout in the late evenings usually, it is kind of like having your own private club then. There are a few folks around, but it is PACKED during a lot of the other times of the day. As far as social inclination goes, I have more in common with BC on that front, but I can also do the "never met a stranger" thing too, depends on the situation.
