Clothing in the gym

This thread has reminded me of an old gym instructor I had, when it was really hot (30c+) he used to wear these really tiny, lycra shorts(I do believe they were compression shorts from his days as a martial arts fighter), they left little to the imagination especially when he jumped in front of you 🙈.

You mean, in the spirit of people who can't read, who have sexual experiences at the gym that they find offensive despite being totally imaginary and who think men are victims of women's clothing. In 2024.

Agree

It's just peculiar that I manage to get several unwanted glances of the buggers without getting Sexual Thoughts about him odd that many men struggle with this at the gym despite not seeing any actual lady bits!

In the spirit of the thread, I think you need to either not notice the man nips (what's wrong with male nipples?), you shouldn't have an opinion and you certainly should not voice it.
He is wearing what he is most comfortable working out in.

God yes, man nips > 🤮<

Ahhh that poor man. How the fuck does he manage to get through an afternoon at the beach, bless him.

Gym ladies if a married man ogles you and he then feels bad it's YOUR FAULT.

Twat. I cannot believe he wouid be so thick as to post that.

I think your attempt to patronise me by telling me what midriff meant could be seen as abusive. You therefore can't be surprised when I respond that I'm not sure why you can't read properly

As you admit, I actually said it's not a word I hear women use. Not that I've not heard the word.

And I was even kind enough not to correct @Toenailz spelling it as 'mid drift'.

Whereas you and @Toenailz chose to be patronising and rude.

Maybe YOU would be better off on Facebook.

Was there ANY reason to be abusive to either of us? MumNet is supposed to be a supportive medium. Perhaps you might go to facebook instead if you want to be rude. I hope you would not be that aggressive in front of your children.

You DID say you never heard it - actually what you said was you never heard it from women.

Had a look. Yuck. So unattractive.

Had no idea what scrunch bum leggings were before reading this thread so have had a quick google and oh my lord that is one hideous item of clothing 😂

Exactly!

Where did II say I have never heard it? Not sure why you can’t read properly.

Midriff a common word. Not sure why you have never heard it.
"the center of your body's front side, generally the area under your ribcage and above your waist or hips. A substitute for belly or waist, especially when someone is wearing clothes that deliberately expose this area.

I would have thought tiny shorts and a bandeau bra would be uncomfortable to work out in. I'd prefer a T-shirt and jogging bottoms, though the T-shirt might be quite fitted. He's having problems that he should sort himself, of course.

Did you even read the OP?

@ringoffiire

But they're not entitled to expect women to dress in a certain way so that they don't have to control their urges.
What urges. I haven't read anything about men doing anything to the women in these gyms

Yeah I need to invest in some bum hole leggings and start squatting badly ! I mean when I squat my bum does go back but also down at the same time not out - maybe start squatting over the benches where the mens do the weights.

Shove your arse crack in people's faces (don't just place it there - shove!) and wear clothing so tight and transparent that you truly might as well be naked because your genitalia are on full display. This appears to be absolutely standard in some posters' gyms, or equivalent to wearing ruched leggings, so maybe it'll help you score next time. At any rate it certainly sounds like fun.

Happy to report I did see one woman in a sports bra doing heavy lifting - sadly she was wearing grey jogging bottoms so no 'ass cheeks' in anyone's faces, everyone else seemed to be wearing dull leggings and sports tops - no one asked for my number - shame - I am a red faced, sweaty 54 year old but my bra was visible - must try harder

I'm off to the gym now - I will report back - fwiw I am not wearing short but you can see my sports bra - filthy bitch that I am

I will police the women and let you know how many are behaving like harlots - I will see if any men ask for my number

My guess is it will be 0 and 0

No. Most of us know the word is midriff.

To be honest modern cycling shorts are much thicker and have much more padding than they used to so there is really no, erm, ‘definition’ anymore. They turn everyone into Barbie and Ken, like a wetsuit.

I wear old leggings, an old t.shirt and a lot of sweat. I doubt any men there would be having any sexual thoughts about me.
Me on the other hand, I often check blokes out in the gym, including their lunchbox and idly wonder what they'd be like in bed, while giving a score out of ten.

Have you seen that at your local gym, OP? Or is this a random tiktok/ insta post?

I go to the gym several times a week, have used quite a few different gyms over the past few years, and I've never seen anyone dressed like this.

I agree.

It's funny how only the posters who are so morally outraged by clothing are seeing arseholes and vulvas and nude genitals so on.
They're so offended and above it, yet they're the ones constantly giving detailed, graphic and entirely made up descriptions of stuff that we all plainly know isn't actually happening. Why is that, I wonder. Instead of dictating to women how they should dress, perhaps this lot could stop subjecting us to their own lurid, detailed fantasies?
