Why is this trend of girls recording in the gym to slander men getting so out of hand?

[libsaretards]

Please, I need answers for this question.

I say "girls" because mature women do not do this. So many guys get falsely accused of "creeping" on girls at the gym so these girls can get some tiktok fame.

I was motivated to go to the gym tonight, but turned back when I saw 4 girls dressed in tight workout clothes with their phones on tripods, just standing around instead of working out. 2 other guys with me turned away as well. We did not feel safe working out because of the fear of one second of spacing out after a hard set getting us on tiktok and our reputations being ruined.

Yes, there ARE legitimate cases of weirdos at the gym, but they are so far into being the minority at the gym.

This is no longer a humorous or celebrated trend, I’ve seen several significant gym-going influencers with large platforms dedicate posts to calling out these women and it’s widely appreciated. Women dressing so skimpily at the gym is a distraction and attention seeking, it’s also a trap to catch men looking and blast those guys online without context. It’s embarrassing and all I can really say is to do you. Don’t worry about those trifling women because that bullying and harassment isn’t flying anymore.


I think as more attention is brought to this matter and more women get exposed for doing this, it’s become less frequent. Over time more women won’t be able to point at a larger man working out and laugh for views or set a guy up to make it look like he was being creepy without major backlash online.

Check out Joey Swoll on tiktok, he’s one of the main platforms I see calling the bs out. Look at his hashtags, comments, duets, you’ll see for yourself this trend is dying fast.

@hollyk21 , you sum it up brilliantly , and I certainly hope this is the case.

[HollyK21]

@molonski2 I truly hope it is as well! If you’re interested check out the guy I mentioned above, it’s so refreshing to see these mean girl bullies get exposed for their bs. Hopefully it poses as an example to other women like them and shows those ladies that what they’re doing is completely wrong, inappropriate and just flat out disgusting. Going to the gym can be intimidating enough without having to worry about the antics.

I hope this trend is dying out, but judging by the reply from a certain anonymous female on here, I doubt it.

[HollyK21]

Her response is just flat out fucking ignorant. It’s not about minding your business it’s about those women and what they’re doing without your knowledge. Talking about “iTs a MisEraBle eXistenCe miXing inTerneT wiTh reAl liFe” as if you’re going to the gym virtually! Lol makes no sense, she has to be that girl in booty shorts and a crop top at the gym, tripod under her arm ready to “expose” a man just fucking walking past minding his own. Shameful, tasteless behavior.

Then just don’t go. You can’t compose yourself to mind your business like the 90% of other people there then that’s a personal problem. It’s a miserable existence to mix real life with internet.

[libsaretards]

It is not about minding my own business. It is about THEM minding their own business. Your response gives away your ignorance. You are one of those females who only cares about an issue when it affects women.

[libsaretards]

Also this is the only gym within an hour of me.

[Opinion Owner]

I highly doubt they even noticed that you existed even if you were standing right next to them. Lol

[libsaretards]

Maybe, but given how easy it is for a woman to falsely accuse a man and the consequences for men, that is not a chance we can take.
If a man was harassing a woman in the gym, I bet you'd be singing a different tune.

[Opinion Owner]

Then maybe ask your fellow man to stop doing it in the first place and it wouldn’t be such an easy accusation to make.

[libsaretards]

Your spam comments are definitely... interesting. Trust me, we DO STOP IT. The reason these women can feel safe doing this is because a gym is a community that watches after each other. When men actually do act creepy, they get dealt with. HOWEVER, there are MORE tikthot girls doing these stunts than there are creepy men at the gym.

[Opinion Owner]

Then get over it. You act like complaining about it is going to do anything.

[Oliverlogan263]

Yo that's messed up man. Those girls just wanna get views but don't care how it affects people. The gym should be a place where everyone can work out in peace without worried about that crazy stuff. I used to love lifting but now I'm always lookin over my shoulder scared I'll end up online. Those girls needa chill, not everyone's a creep ya know? Maybe the gym should have rules against recording other people. It ain't right how a few bad videos can ruin someone's name. Guys work hard in there, we don't need that extra stress! If we can't feel safe who knows how long till even less guys want to go. I dunno the solution but somethin's gotta change.

[libsaretards]

For real. I have no problem with people recording themselves. It is when they involve others that it becomes an issue. However, I'd rather see NO RECORDING at all than the risk of dealing with these females.

[Oliverlogan263]

Yeah man I totally hear you. Recording yourself is cool, but getting other people in the background without asking is kinda messed up. No one wants to worry about ending up on social media just for taking up space in someone's video. And with the way some girls blow stuff out of proportion for views, I don't blame you for not wanting to take the risk. Maybe that gym could make a no recording rule or have certain areas blocked off, so at least you'd know which spots to avoid if you see phones out. But honestly it's probably not worth the hassle. If those girls are gonna be there a lot filming instead of working out, might be better to just find a new place to lift where you can focus on your own thing without stressing about some TikTok drama. your gains are more important!

[libsaretards]

Wish I could, but this is the only real gym within an hour of me. The only other fitness facility is a Hotworx facility. I love Hotworx, but I use them more for recovery work than a full workout.

[Oliverlogan263]

Damn dude that sucks, an hour each way just to lift would be so annoying. Hotworx is cool for some recovery stuff but doesn't cut it if you're tryna gain muscle mass or whatever your goals are. Maybe try talking to the gym managers again and be like listen bro, half the dudes are bout to cancel their memberships if y'all don't ban phones on the floor. Or see if you can get other people who are fed up with the recording to back you up too, sometimes numbers help make a point. Might be worth looking into home gym stuff too if you've got the space, then at least you'd be left alone to workout in peace. But that's a lot of money up front. Really hope they sort it out at that gym soon man, no one should have to stress about some drama when they're paying to get big.

[libsaretards]

Well, ban recording. If we ban phones altogether, many people would lose the music that motivates them.

[Oliverlogan263]

Yeah man, banning recording totally makes sense but you're right that banning phones altogether would suck cause a lot of people like having their music or podcasts and stuff while they work out.

Maybe the gym could make a rule where phones are allowed but you can't have the cameras out or be obviously filming other people. That way guys still have their playlists but those attention-seeking girls can't be recording and trying to start drama.

If they caught one of the phones pointed at someone else the staff could just delete the video right away before it gets posted anywhere too. Might be the best compromise so everyone can still use their phones but not for trying to mess with other members.

Worth a try anyway, I'd sign a petition or whatever if you started one to take to the gym managers! This is stressing way too many people out and ruining their workouts.

Just another trend to get attention
