Actually, I'm finding that the only guys that look at me in the gym are evidently gay…so I'm not sure what that means…but it has me starting to reconsider this short hair cut…

No tank tops - what's the deal there? Tank tops are great for working out - flexible, comfortable and not revealing.

I know, isn't it crazy? I live in a very multicultural region, and I think this policy was meant so that they don't alienate those who, seriously, need to work out in burquas. I can't think of another reason.

I don't imagine working out in a burka is particularly safe - do you mean the hijab, like the Iranian football (soccer) team wear. There are women in my gym wearing those.

I work out in a gym in London which is really multicultural and there is no regulations on what you wear. There are women only gyms which I know is very popular with women who do cover up but other than that I haven't seen regulations in any gym. I wonder if it is just to stop people from being self conscious and people not turning up in only their sports bra and pants or guys walking around with a hard on lie out friend

Frankly people that get emotional issues from women's attire at the gym are welcome to workout at home.

What difference does it make? I've worn a XXL t-shirt, with sweat pants I had to tie to keep on... and men still stared. In fact, I got asked out while wearing that exact get-up.
I dress however I want to nowdays. Men stare regardless of what I wear, so I dress as I feel comfortable at any given moment.

I can tell you stories about strange times men have asked me out. Looking probably about as bad as I could possibly look, if I TRIED to look horrible...
There is no rhyme nor reason in when men stare, so don't try to put it off on women, "you must want us to look, dressing like that." That's your personal thing.

I find this to be frequently true as well. Sometimes it doesn't matter what you're wearing, some people always glance or worse, stare and ogle at you. Usually they're the creeps though; in general, most of the people obey proper gym "etiquette". If they happen to look at you, it's almost always in a 'passing glance' kind of way where they'll give you a quick nod and get back to their workout or whatever they were doing prior.

I'm also wondering if this involves those women who purposefully dress up in a certain way, to elicit stares and/or attention from (usually) the men? I guess I've come across some women who'll "dress up" for the gym; not even talking about things like, dressing decently, wearing your hair well or coming in with a fresher looking face. I'm talking about those who view the gym as more of a background to their instagram pictures rather than a place to workout. Some (women and men) definitely crave the attention especially from the opposite sex. Guess it fuels their ego or something. Most others though, are simply there to mind their own business and get their exercise on (despite wearing clothes that may be fairly revealing).

Tl;dr: There's definitely a difference b/w glancing briefly at someone, and making them visibly uncomfortable by ogling them hard.

I usually squat and deadlift with short shorts from lululemon. Does that mean I'm sl*t ? I have much bigger quads than that chick tho...

Honestly, those short shorts aren't THAT short. BRB, girls at my uni wearing shorts that (literally) show the bottom half of their asses.

Also, shouldn't you be in the Over 35 forum right now??

I kid, I kid...(seriously, please don't shoot me :-/ ).

[BrotherWolf]

I like pervs in the gym. They make me feel validated.

finally some honesty ...

[BrotherWolf]

Everyone is so worried that others are looking at them, no one has time to look at anyone else

If people put the same effort into working out as they do complaining about dumb **** like this the world would be a better place..

Ah, but then there is complaining about others complaining about others complaining....

Actually I never felt there was anything wrong with people complaining. I just find it funny...those that think they are above it only to be doing the EXACT same thing.

If you think complaining is a waste of time, or that time could be better spent doing something else...well then why are you wasting your time...uhm...complaining.

[JustLost]

Under Armour doesn't make a workout burka that I know of.

That's because it would be Outer Armor!

that was not a complain, simply pointing out a fact

Sure


And maybe all those people that you think are complaining are simply pointing out a fact.
