Women in the weight room

Apparently several universities are already on summer break because today as I went for my usual morning workout in the weight room I noticed an increase in the number of sorority-looking girls showing up all around me in their tank tops, short shorts and tight fitting yoga pants.

Now how am I supposed to get in a good workout in with these type of girls doing straight legged deadlifts right in front of me?

Why do women come into the weight room dressed like that?

I complained to the front desk attendant (management wasn't in yet), but the desk girl (who was wearing tight yoga pants btw) said that these girls weren't in violation of any rules.

Do you agree that there should be some kind of dress code against this in a public gym?

    You do realize you have to be an adult and function around women regardless of what they are wearing.

    Not sure why a woman needs to dress in a manner that means you don't' get an erection. Are you expecting perhaps a burka?


    You're responsible for your body. She isn't. Stop expecting women to change for your short comings.

    "About Me:
    That guy at the gym who is always there but doesn't look very buff for how much time he spends working out."

    I see this your profile description. How many short shorts, yoga pants and tank tops have you got to blame for this? Seriously dude, you're not 14 anymore. And there is cure for that sort of dysfunction.
  • I'm sorry, I can't even believe this. You are a grown adult? Act like one. Be responsible for yourself, and mind your own business. I'm sort of floored that you even complained. The gym is for everyone and these girls don't sound like anyone else but you has a problem with them.

    I have the opposite problem, the girls who go to my Gym are the hottest hotties that ever hottied in town, and there they are just parading around in baggy outfits, no shame at all. How am i supposed to raise my blood pressure, flex my muscles and try and impress with these sort of dull conditions.

    I'm sure they aren't doing it to piss you off. Those are probably just whats comfortable to them. And most workout clothes for women are just made that way. Short and tanks because its hot. Yoga pants are soft and don't chafe. I really don't think they are thinking too hard on it. Thats just how most work out clothes are for women. Not really many options on what else to wear. I mean maybe t-shirts but thats actually no where near as comfortable and hard to deal with, tighter clothes stay out of the way.

    I was actually rather disgusted by the whole thing, not aroused. I no longer find rail-thin college girls to be all that attractive. I was fine ignoring them until they come and deadlift right in front of the bench I am using, that's just kind of rude I think.

    On a side note I also saw a large (muscular) male (who turned out to be a local law enforcement officer) do the same thing to some guy at this same gym, after he saw this guy watching and making fun of the girls in a zumba class. I thought it was rude then too.

    Why disgusted? And what do you mean, "I no longer find rail-thin college girls to be all that attractive'? Are you judging attractiveness based on fat? Oh no no, Sir, you're getting yourself in for big trouble. What if they had curves? Would that be less disgusting? People 'make fun of' and 'are disgusted by' things that touch a part of them they are not comfortable with. Go check that out.

    I'm confused. Are you upset b/c they are wearing skin tight outfits, or because they DL in front of your bench? Because it SEEMS to be you don't like their outfits, and that is all. The good news about that, is YOU don't have to wear those outfits. Luckily, you have NO control over what other members wear to the gym. Be thankful they aren't naked.

    Alright, you know I'm just sick of people doing straight legged deadlifts right in front of me, whether its skinny minnie sorority girl or some big male law enforcement officer, I just don't appreciate it!

    Make up your mind! If its people deadlifting in front of you, you have a VOICE! You can speak up and ask them to move down a couple feet. It's not REALLY about women in the weight room then.
