Neither. They wear it because they’re told to, and because if they don’t they won’t get paid. Which is asinine. But that’s the world we live in, unfortunately.
I hardly doubt that women competing in these competitions are trying intentionally to draw your attention to there body , they got sports illustrated for that. Matter of fact The picture with the girl in white over the word objectified was very upset that social media started taking her pictures to be sexual, so to gain some type of control over the situation she began modeling.
Women don’t want to be objectified , bu
t we are anyway because weee just seen as toys for boys or maids or someone to cook or clean.
Sounds sexist. Women are often the ones that objectify men. Look at 50 shades and all the soaking wet theatre seats, or a the middle age houswives who used to throw their underwear at a 15 year old Justin Bieber. Look at how many women see men as repairmen, chauffeurs, atms etc.
Women complain that guys treat them in relationships like their mom yet they treat their men like their Dads
@white_king2000 so fucking true
Whats this objectifying bullshit all people are objects. My girl likes feel like my property. Men objects too. Do you guys need definition of object.
@Leah1273 a woman who is looking good, and could cook or clean, what more a man needs?

@Berethor because that shouldn’t be a woman’s life if she doesn’t want that, women like men should do what they want, they don’t have to look good or be good at cooking , they can marry girls, boys, whoever they want it shouldn’t just be cooking and cleaning
Get your mind out of the gutter. You know it's performance. They're athletes at the top of their game.
I also used to wear skimpy things and yes I like attention and also it tends to be more comfortable
You've clearly never worked out, bucko. Masturbating furiously doesn't class as "exercise".
Get out into the real world, kid.
You've clearly never competed in a sport.
Mobility. Tight and minimal clothing let’s you maximize your movements. Women and men also have different anatomies so there would be an obvious difference in clothing
I mean I don’t doubt there’s some women who want to look sexy while they’re performing but I doubt the mass majority of serious competitors would put looks over performance when it can make the difference between winning a medal or nothing at all.
It’s funny that we still live in an age where sexuality and sex is looked upon with shame. But only for men. For women, it’s all about liberation. For men it’s about oppression because we are evil and bad for being attracted to women. Y’all females fuckin disgust me to be honest. You’re nothing but hypocrites.
Anyways, I always thought the sports wear was for performance, which lucky for us, also looks sexy.
I think it's like probably a combination like in summer when I wear extremely short shorts I like it but I'm well aware my boyfriend likes it too
All women desire lots of sex - but want you to pay for their pleasure AND to feel they hold the moral high ground by doing so (a triple whammy as standard)
Then there are more men then women because some suckers die trying to do so - and women complain about the patriarchy.
No, hey, listen, they NEED, you know, at the highest level, what with their, you know, they got a wider pelvis and uh, you know, the Q-angle, and with certain muscle groups, depending on the overall movement, yeah, I mean, you know, it's, it's, it's, yeah, you know, it's gotta be. . . it's gotta be tight.
Tight, tight spandex. Or lycra.
Maybe they like the way they look and when you feel good about you look the extra confidence has to help with performance I would imagine. I haven't tried the skimpy sports gear ( at least in Public). Yet because sliding into third would sting a bit.
In dance and gymnastics I didn’t to choose the outfit, it was all for performance in gymnastics and whatever was eye catching in dance 😒
THEY like to dress sexy for attention from guys., they like to feel hot to us and want us to notice them./... but god forbid if u let it be known u find them hot... they will slap u and call u a pervert... maybe its best to look the other way and dont notice them;... dont give em what they want
its like they do it jus so they can put u down and call u a perv, fuck them
i will not notice them
Girls tend to contradict themselves a lot, guys tend to be more sure about what they want.
@Berethor lolol
Most of them it's because that's what you are supposed to wear. Super tight but easy to move in makes for faster better performance
Men tend to be the ones who choose the gear. They want to objectify. In swimming and gymnastics and dance though it improves performance.
Whats this objectifying bullshit all people are objects
men objectfy?
um, hello, no guys tell u girls to get in those bikinis, y'all do it urself out of free will... wheres ur proof guys invented bikinis?
im pretty sure the female gender invented them... u objectfify urself
@PersoncslledPierson Whats objectification all people are objects
It has to be a combination of all
A pure athlete will eat/do/wear anything which gives them and edge
If it can also make you look good, Why not?
Yeah its some sort of plot that forces women to wear a bathing suit while swimming/diving.
One that disappears up their buttcrack at the slightest movement?
What they wear helps them be their best. At those levels hundredth of seconds matter
Yet the men don't?
The men also wear tight clothes, especially the swimmers
Yeah but it doesn't go up their but crack
I think they do it to increase their advertising value cause athletes make the bulk of their fortunes through product endorsements
