I had an argument with my mom a few days ago when she brought up the fact that she thinks that women at the gym should wear more modest clothing if they don’t want men to harass them. I told her that her theory didn’t make sense to me since my mom herself is a conservative woman who dresses modestly even at the gym and she still gets hit on by men a lot so the problem shouldn’t be women trying to fix themselves to fix creepy men. It should be people not allowing creeps to feel safe enough to harass women at the gym?
I’m curious to hear other peoples thoughts on this topic though
Do you care about the kind of clothing women wear to the gym?
I mean, I've definitely seen some women wearing nothing but legit lingerie. They often don't really work out, though, so I don't know if you can count them as actual gymgoers.
But honestly? I don't care. I'll look away if I don't want to see or if I think looking is disrespectful. Nothing's wrong with my neck or eyes, I can turn away or look somewhere else.
I hate when I wear baggy shirts or pants and have to adjust them so they don't fall, or worse, get them caught on something.
I usually wear something similar to the pic. Usually pair it with a light sweater.
I judge if someone looks and acts like they're at the gym to date. Subsidize my membership then kindly leave and scroll Tinder on your couch.
Doesn't matter what you wear. Creepy men will be creepy men. I've worn sweats and a baggy tshirt and gotten harassed. I've worn shorts and a sports bra and gotten harassed. Wear whatever you're comfortable in and report anyone who is being a creep
I'm a firm believer that women should be able to wear whatever they want and be respected and safe from unwanted advances from men. Men being creeps is solely the fault of the jerks who decide to be creeps.
Women's workout clothing tends to be formfitting for a reason. Being formfitting it is more comfortable to move in, less like to ride up the wrong way, get caught in equipment or potentially expose parts you want covered when your exercise involves movement that might otherwise uncover you, e. g. handstand pushups might allow a loose "modest" shirt to fall, exposing your breasts, where a more typical formfitting shorts bra and or exercise top will hold it's position, keeping you from being exposed in such manner
But they should acknowledge that if they show a lot of flesh or wear very tight clothing that accentuates certain areas to create a cleavage, camel toe or bubble butt, guys are going to stare- it's human nature, which I know doesn't make it right.
Don't show parts of you that you don't want stared at. Obviously guys are going to hit on girls in a gym. They are full of testosterone by attractive females in clothing that shows you everything but their skin. You can see how a women looks naked before you see her naked in leggings etc.
Funny part is they women they're "covered" when wearing leggings or bike shorts. To me they look just as naked because those items are so tight you see everything.
Idc what you wear. I believe in freedom. I was explaining that if you dress that way, expect to be looked at instead of the rest of the world making accommodations for your feelings.
I disagree with Mom , they should just wear sensible gym wear , I do agree sometimes its too much of a fashion parade , and trends , but you need workout gear that makes sense.
In my gym , and it just is different here ( certainly from Australia ) every guy I see is working out , they dont go there for women , there are some couples who go.. I see nothing creepy happening , and the girls are always well presented , just as they are on the golf course , they love colours. You need the right gear for the gym , I know nothing about brands , I dont select on brand.
I don’t really care what people wear. As long as they aren’t exposing themselves.
I agree nobody has a right to harass anyone. Some people do intentionally try to look sexy and the type of men that hit on them..: aren’t the type they want hitting on them.
But. Most of the time at the gym. People wear revealing clothing because it’s hot. It’s why men run without their shirt on.
no i don't. but if she decides to show off her ass or tits in revealing clothes, i will absolutely and unappologeticly take a look. not "stare" but i will definitely check her out and i won't feel the slightest bit bad or wrong in doing that.
Well, technically speaking, it doesn't matter what she's wearing when it comes the make gaze as men will be interested no matter how conservative. She should wear what she's comfortable in as long as it doesn't accidentally show off her nipples or privates by accident. Some clothing looks perfectly normal until you extend far enough.
There's sort of limits. A thong swimsuit with a tiny triangle bikini top? Then yeah, probably need more covering. Because how on earth would working out feel comfortable in that lmao.

I think that women should wear sensible gym wear, if they turn up in super tight battle-rattle and full make up then they should accept the they are going to get stares,
Personally I just leave them to it, as I have a limited time to get my workout done.
Well the girls in the picture don’t look revealing at all that looks perfectly fine. Although I do see some girls with practically nothing on and all I can say is they shouldn’t get mad if people are looking
No, I don't care what they wear in or out of the gym. I purposely don't look at them in the gym either, I don't even use equipment next to them. I listen to my music and look anywhere but at women and I just focus on what I am doing.
I don't. The only time I normally even pay attention to anyone else at the gym is if someone needs a spotter and asks me or if I'm pushing near my max and ask for a spotter.
