Not unpopular and from my experience in the gym also not an issue that exists outside of the internet.

Disagree, there's a limit somewhere because it's still a public place, so you shouldn't wear disgusting filthy smelly rags or something like a shirt with a racist slogan. But pretty much any standard sportswear design is fair game. Just don't turn the gym into your Tiktok studio or intentionally push limits then get upset at people not acting like it's normal and you're good.

Honestly I'm not nearly confident enough to go out without putting any effort into my appearance unless it's something super urgent. I didn't even consider working out in public until I was a couple months into it bc I was so anxious about being perceived/looking stupid, wearing a cute workout set/light makeup I feel like I at least LOOK like I know what I'm doing 😭

by Qturner 1 week ago

I would go right after work I was always fixed up because I worked on commissions and always wanted to look my best. I'd go straight from work to the gym and keep workout clothes in my car. It felt totally unnecessary to take all of my makeup off.

Us dudes are gonna wanna take a look. Guys like boobs and butts. I never saw a problem with leggings or yoga pants, it's those weird leggings that's like purposefully to expose your cheeks and give you wedgies , or sports bras that are really just bras ( have deadass seen a girl wearing a plain old bra lmao), but at the end of the day as long as you aren't trying to seduce me ( like bending over close to me or alike nature, not comfortable) I could care less about whatever anyone wears. I may judge silently in my head ( this go for dudes too some of yall dress like cornballs) but everyone's a little judgmental.

And if you do leave sweat, use the courtesy cleaner after you're done. I'm gonna wipe it down beforehand anyway but I also wipe down after whether there's visible sweat or not. I'll likely skip a machine if there's a puddle I've gotta clean first.

You literally can. What men complain about is women wearing stuff like yoga pants solely for attention. Especially since filming somehow isn't banned, as if they even glance in her general direction for half a second she'll say how hw was staring at her and no justice will come of it save a Joey Swoll reaction. You're so terminally online it's sad.

by Tricky_Mall 1 week ago

I just don't understand why some girls feel like wearing as little as humanly possible. Men can wear a shirt and pants, why can't you? I really don't care but it's curious. Do they get off sporting in a bra, with as much exposed skin and skintight pants as possible? Do what you want, but sexualizing everything and then complaining you get stares is odd.

And what about the girlies who wear shirts with the skintight pants??? Is it still for attention or is it for comfortability, since the shirt is probably long enough to cover the skintight pants anyways? Or what about. A sports bra with gym shorts???

Kind of like men/guys should get over if a dude wants to wear a Speedo to swim. You wouldn't believe how liberating a feeling it is, and all that extra cloth from swim shorts just gets in the way, drags you down, and so on. Outta the water, gym shorts (gray and revealing—because if women can flaunt, so can I) and a tank or t.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

I get this is for women and revealing clothing, but I disagree... in the context of men. In the winter I go to a YMCA because there is a ball court, and the old men in the fitness area wear the grossest stuff. Too short shorts with their balls almost flapping out, disintegrating undershirts, dirty knee socks. Then there are the guys working out in jeans, dress shoes, and other non-workout attire. Finally, there are also fully shirtless fat guys in the ball court... just shooting around, not in a shirt and skins game. It's not even hot in there. it's cold! I believe the Y should offer a standardized track suit for males and require them to wear it if they are unable to figure out reasonable attire on their own.

Yeah, people should be allowed to wear basically whatever they want. No recording though please, I don't want to be in someone's video while I'm sweating my whole blood volume out. I wear bike shorts and a sports bra to the gym and it's pretty much fine - the occasional creep, but there always is no matter what I'm wearing. I do think that there is a limit to how revealing one should be though. Men, please don't take your shirts off. Women, please don't have your whole butt exposed. It just makes people uncomfortable and it's still a public place. I've only seen that latter example online though, and probably just for OF advertisements or something - I've never seen it in person. Men taking their shirts off however - put your damn shirt back on guy!

You're right that people should generally be able to wear what makes them comfortable and confident when they go to the gym. As long as individuals are mindful of their clothing choices and respectful of others and as long as the clothing is appropriate for the gym environment and not causing any discomfort or issues, there shouldn't be a problem with it.

If your gym has a dress code in their policies then you need to follow that or go to another gym. Besides that, wear what you want (within reason). As long as you clean up after yourself on equipment your body touches, you're fine.

You contradict yourself on your opinion. People should wear what they want.... unless... What you are proving with your opinion is that everyone has a line that they don't want crossed. For some people they don't want to see people in bras, for others they just don't want underboob showing. Some people would be okay off everyone was naked. Some people think you should be wearing a burka. You can't say wear want you want except...

I agree with you. As long as people are not getting physically sexual when it comes to contact, and as long as there is no sexual harassment, and as long as there are protections put in place (e.g. CCTV cameras and security guards), then I have no problem...I think then that people can wear anything they want to wear in the gym. People go to the gym to work out...so as long as they are doing that, then they can wear whatever they want to wear. People dress in skimpy clothing in the beach, and nobody gets offended and says 'we should be fully covered up in the beach! People are going to look!', the same thing should apply to the gym.

There is a line that is drawn in everyone's mind as to what is acceptable. You yourself drew a line at no butt cheeks or books hanging out. That is still a line. The thing is everyone draws that line at a different place. Some people think it would okay to be naked everywhere. Some people draw the line farther back. What I think is really insane is how much we judge others for having a different opinion than us on where that line is.
