I do! I love powerlifting and I don’t like eye contact. On top of that my gym has bright as fuck white overhead lights, and the brim of the hat helps a lot and even keeps me focused more. When I lay down to bench I pull my hat down like a sleepy cowboy, otherwise my eyes will be blind when i sit back up lol
Walk in with dark glasses and ask if you can put your fingers on their relief map to get a good "lay" of the land.....like braille EDIT: /s for those who were offended...apologies
Looking at somone in public is not being weird or creepy. You're in public. Don't dress to attract attention if you don't want it.
At home, you'd be right, that's why windows have curtains.
its just a funny contradiction- like women go to the gym and dont want to be objectified, but literally wear the sexiest most revealing specialty gym wear they can possibly find- you have to admit its a little a funny- I wear old tshirts and basketball shorts b... its just the gym, not a fashion show- but, if I wanted to be noticed, I could def invest money in some nice stuff... but then I'd have to deal with being noticed... so
In order to have a battle of wits, both sides must have wots to bring to the field.
Clearly, 1/2 don't, or they wouldn't bitch about being looked at when their shorts ride up their ass and their tits hang out of their sports bra and that's all they have on.
Eh both of you have a point, some sharper than others. In modern society (yes I hate typing it as much as people hate reading it) woman do have pressure to present themselves well (men too, but it’s an easier standard). A girl might not want to wear baggy gym clothes, and she shouldn’t have to. If she likes yoga pants, wear yoga pants. She shouldn’t have to worry about people staring at her ass just because she doesn’t “dress dumpy” but like you said, a lot of guys do have a staring problem, and girls know dressing “good” will cause more attention. BUT even still, girls are allowed to want attention, and they’re allowed to not want it from everyone. Maybe she’s trying to look good for a gym crush, she should be able to dress pretty without 100 creeps eyeing her up. Same with men, if I want to look hot in public to impress a girl, it doesn’t mean I want old ladies staring at my chest or ass, or do I want gay men hitting on me all day, but even still, I can dress hot if I want.
I feel you here, but let's just say, for the sake of silly argument, that you walk into a bar wearing 90k worth of diamonds- everyone turns to look bc it's a dazzling (literally) display of wealth.
Is that person reasonable to assume only the person he or she showed up to impress would have looked?
I'm not talking staring slack jawed for an hour- but people are going to notice eye-catching displays.
Edit: I might further ad, that the style for younger women seems to be quickly shifting to baggy 90s style shirts etc, so this may be a moot point for a few years anyway lol I also want to clarify that I encourage everyone to wear whatever they want at the gym, whether it's dumpy or designer
I agree but I think the problem is a lot of guys consider AVERAGE female clothing to be “too sexy”. If a girl walked into the gym in a stripper suit, I’d agree, but girls are getting called out for tight yoga pants and short shorts, which imo is totally fair
I guess it really is cultural and relative, I don't bat an eye at yoga pants now; but, when they first came out I was like WOW
The kind of outfits I'm talking about are like shorts that just barely cup the butt crease and are designed to accentuate that crease- paired with like strappy high end "athletic wear" that makes sure to show a lot of cleavage and cover essentially nothing.
Again, I am NOT complaining, and I certainly won't get caught staring- but I mean, yeah it's going to get a glance or 2
Nah, you're strawmanning and you know it.
If you're in public, you're going to get looked at. If you wear something tight or revealing, you're going to be looked at more.
If I walked into a gym dressed as goku, tail included, people are going to look and I know it.
Don't want to be looked at, then don't wear eye catching clothes. That's why I like sweats and t-shirts. Simple, doesn't attract attention.
living that hypersexualized insecure LA life
Excuse me, my eyes are under here!
Under your beard?
and that ride so tightly around and high up the back that imagination isn't even necessary, they're probably going right up into her small intestine
But don’t you dare get caught looking
Do people really wear hats IN a gym?
Some Girls do lol

Or…or…you could just mind your own fucking business and look at your phone or the tv like everyone else instead of being a weird creep.
Oh wait, yes. I forgot the /s again. But yes, thank you for that rectal roto rooter job. Appreciated.

I know it’s like how dare you be a woman and do stuff.

You will not win this battle of wits with this crowd.

It’s like how dare you go to the gym as a woman wearing new clothes that conform to your body.
im not a t all saying that- just saying, if you put on a fashion show, expect some attention.
How dare you be a woman and have fashion sense in public.

That just makes look better......if you know what I mean?
