Girls at the gym dress like they have no respect for themselves?

Question

Girls wear booty shorts to "workout" in. They wear skimpy shirts. Tights that are see through so anybody can see their ass when they bend even just a little. It just doesn't make sense to me. Do they go to the gym to get more fit? Or to look provocative and get a halfass workout in? Sorry if it sounds pushy/rude but it kinda bothers me seeing girls wear practically nothing to the gym where they're gonna be bending, squatting, and running. Especially in front of random guys full of test that could be rapists, kidnappers, stalkers, etc. WHY DO THESE YOUNG GIRLS DO THIS TO THEMSELVES?

Girls at the gym dress like they have no respect for themselves?
Not in my opinion though I don't use a person's clothing to base whether that person has respect for themselves. If that were the case then I would focus more on guys at the gym as I find guys often go shirtless and I would imagine being half-nude more of an issue than booty shorts.

Do they go to the gym to get more fit?
Possibly as I find most workout clothing for gals reveal skin and I find most gals that workout use feeling sexy as motivation.

Or to look provocative and get a halfass workout in?
Also a possibility as again I find many gals use feeling sexy as a motivation and I also find most gals do not really know how to workout to the best of their ability.

WHY DO THESE YOUNG GIRLS DO THIS TO THEMSELVES?
Likely because I find many gals are deluded to how many guys have malicious intent instead think most guys are nice/good.

Egh this a bit victim-blaming to me as it seemingly suggests that by wearing what you consider 'provocative' gals are themselves becoming rape, kidnapping, and stalking victims. I've yet to see any credible factual evidence stating that gals wearing provocative clothing leads to rape, kidnapping, or stalking.
Also a possibility.

I'm not trying to sound rude here either but,
Why can't they wear what the want to without worrying about being raped, kidnapped, or stalked? Why can't they just go to the gym to do their own workout in what they feel comfortable in?
I get that seeing a girl in provocative clothing can be distracting but does that mean you should shame her, mock her, or threaten her?
Maybe that's just what they want to wear.
Why do men wear shirts that show off their arms? Why do they go running without a shirt on? Why do they go swimming in tiny swimsuits?
It's what they want to wear.

Because that's what they like working out in. I certainly wouldn't wear long pants to the gym, I'll wear shorts. And most of women's clothing is made skimpy like that.
Sometimes I'll wear a baggy t-shirt but depending on my work out the extra material might get in the way, so sometimes it's just easier to wear something tighter. And I'm going to get hot and sweaty, so I prefer to wear a thinner material so my body can breathe.

I've seen guys take their shirts off at the gym... do they have no respect for themselves?

A girl can wear whatever she wants to a gym. The fact that you find it too revealing is your problem not theirs. They aren't doing anything to themselves, it's your mind that in the gutter not theirs. To suggest they should cover up just in case a rapist is around is ridiculous. Sorry if it sounds pushy or rude but when you place blame on innocent people for living their lives how they choose you open yourself up to replies like this. I don't usually reply to this kind of nonsense but your post is so judgmental.

Honestly, I see nothing wrong with it at a gym because you can focus on your results of your body. Gym staff are responsible for watching out for harassing behavior.

The most a guy will do is hit on a girl. If he's dumb enough to try to rape a girl in a gym he'll fail miserably and just get arrested. If anything, society in general tends to protect women more than anything. So even if a guy tried raping a girl in a gym, all those other test-filled muscleheads would beat the hell out of him before he even pulled her pants down.

We could say the same for guys wearing tanks and shorts if we really wanted to as well. A gym is the place where they can go for them and no one else. People actually say "Save that outfit for the gym" when it comes to revealing clothes. People wear sleeveless shirts to see their arms growing, or shorts so they can see if their "pencil legs" got any bigger, and so on. Plus, there's plenty of gym etiquette rules anyway. Staring in general is just rude.

Granted there are many women who want to be looked at in such a manner. If it makes them happy, so be it.

I highly doubt the gym's full of stalkers and rapists... just guys enjoying the view. I see women of all ages wearing tight gym pants, and I'm sure it's for multiple reasons. I've seen old ladies at the gym wearing yoga pants, and I'm sure they don't even have the ability or desire to tempt any guys at all (especially when there are a lot younger hotter women at the same gym).

I'm the last guy to complain about what they're gonna be wearing. But when they wear an outfit about the size of bras and panties, with their boobs and butts popping out it seems kind of tasteless, and impractical.

But girls aren't the only people who go overboard at the gym. I see guys at the gym wearing cutoff shirts with only about an inch or two of fabric, with their nipples popping out of either side, and they look like complete douche-tools.

Izzy2102 · Answer

I'd say they just dress like they don't care. I wear things to the gym I wouldn't wear elsewhere. Like lowcut shirts, the sports bra covers everything anyways. Worn out yoga pants that may be a bit see through. Shorts that don't fit well anymore.
A lot of girls take classes like yoga or zumba, that always 90% to 100% female, so why bother

I don't know what your point is sure there may be rapist there but whether you get raped or not doesn't depend on what you wear.
What do you say to gyms that have a pool then?

washize · Answer

Probably because people tend to get hot when the work out and having sweaty clothes stick to your body is gross. Also no matter what anyone wears it doesn't warrent stalking, kidnapping, or rape. If a person is plan in on stalking, raping, or kidnapping they're going to do it wether the woman is naked or dressed like a nun. If clothes protected anyone from getting raped or kidnapped then women would never be raped or kidnapped. Statistically women who dress conservitive are more likely to get raped because it is assumed they'll put up less of a fight.

cavmanier · Answer

I didn't know clothes are related to a womans self respect. I'm not sure why what they wear bothers you either.

I don't know exactly why but the reason will vary depending on the girl. Maybe they want to feel attractive or look good. Maybe they like how the clothes keep them cool and help with sweat.

I'm interested in why this is so important to you though.

caligymnast1260 · Answer

Maybe they are finally proud of their bodies, and feel that they want to show it off a little more, idk. Some might do it for attention, but others might just wear stuff like that because it might just be more comfortable for them to work out in. I work out in shorts and a tank top a lot because it gets extremely hot sometimes, and it's just more comfortable.

MissConfused93 · Answer

Girls can wear whatever the fuck they want, and still have self respect. You're the one who doesn't have self respect. Do you really think men are that simple minded to the point where they can't control themselves if they see some leg or bum? Seriously?

Your thinking is the problem. Not their outfits. Mother of god.

Misty324 · Answer

Usually girls like this want attention. And think they'll pick up lots of guys. For me when I go out wearing my tights I do make sure they aren't see through. As for shirts I have bigger boobs so sometimes it's hard to hide them. But some girls just wanna show there body off in purpose. They think there sexy doing this but yeah

rgb008 · Answer

I wear clothing like that because I get hot while I run. I sweat a lot and working out in a regular tshirt is very uncomfortable, so I wear tank tops that wick the sweat off your body. I wear spandex because I hate nike running shorts and I don't wear pants when I work out, because of sweat and getting too hot.

Willow4 · Answer

If I ever go to a local gym I just wear trackie bottoms and a t shirt. Even when I'm practicing gymnastics I prefer to wear cropped leggings (not yoga pants) and a t shirt. There really isn't any need to show everything off to exercise, I think some women do just like the attention and knowing that guys are going to look. You're not being rude, I agree with you :) You go to the gym to workout and put the effort in and you can be modest and comfortable at the same time :)

ManOnFire · Answer

No I understand, you're kind of right. I wonder the same thing about some of those girls. Some really don't dress for working out, and yes, it's true some girls do go to the gym just to try to pick up guys. I know this because they'll make a show of trying to workout near you hoping you'll notice, and they usually don't come back anymore.

knotme · Answer

I don't think its appropriate to have you ass at tits hanging out because its not functional. You do want to be able to move around feely without things almost falling out or being exposed.
With yoga pants they are what they are; if you see anything and most likely you do, its not intentional, they stretch as you stretch. That's why they are so comfortable

thunthunthun · Answer

I kind of wonder about this too. I'll stumble across pics on instagram of girls wearing tight cat suites or something with a face full of caked on makeup to the gym
I'm like what the... I never see any of that going on at the gym I go to though lol

LittleSally · Answer

They go these (those that dress like that) to show off their bodies and maybe get a little bit of a workout...
I've known girls like these. You can't really workout in booty shorts, let's be honest here. They're attention whores, I'd say.

decemberxblue · Answer

Girls do it to keep up with the competition. If they refuse to dress as revealing as the others, guess what? Guys will be going after other women.

My only issue:
Don't wear yoga pants/shorts, coochie cutters, and revealing tops and get angry that men are looking at you sexually. For the record, those girls aren't my type, I'm merely speaking objectively.

One reason I can't go to gym now is that reason. I used to live in a place where there was ladies' sport clubs and gyms. So I could wear my normal sporty outfit. But where I live now, there is no such thing. I am worried if I went to a gym here, guys would check me out... although my outfit isn't tight or revealing.. it just has very short sleeves.

RobinVdk · Answer

Hay Dan!! ;-) I'm a gym sportish-hockey chick!! And I wear shorts and thights, when I work out, I do it for the excersize, so let me tel you Ladie that wear revealing clothes are not ther for the workout, thightness and the length of all my clothes I wear are there to make my workout easier.. And my ass hanging out is no part of the excersize!!

05Jueey · Answer

LOL how can you possibly determine whether a girl has self respect based on what she wears? That makes no sense to me

Johannaxo · Answer

Because they like it and think they look kute. Everyone has different ideas on what showing too much skin means and different comfort levels.

Probably to seek attention. Some girls don't considered the consequences of their skimpy clothes.
