    Honestly, I thought this too but decided to assume it was just the usual level of MFP stupidity and not someone being truly malicious.

    Not sure how expressing my distaste at the thread is interpreted as being malicious? The shooter had control issues directed at women. Are you not seeing a parallel with the central topic of this thread and controlling women's behaviour. Where the he!! does the OP get off complaining about what people wear to exercise - what's next? They must be flirting because they are wearing that clothing? Why aren't they responding to my smiles? In my opinion distasteful.

    No no no, I meant the OP not you, I was assuming that the OP wasn't intentionally using issues brought up by the Santa Barbara incident to fuel his trolling.

    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?

    Ahh - I apologize - I'm a might sensitive today :embarassed:
  • Oh my... you should go to one of those non-offensive gyms in California where it isn't okay to have bulky muscles. My my my... and you are male correct? Straight?

    Those girls are HOT! Shoot I'd want to see them work out and I am straight.... HANDLE IT BUDDY!

    Dudes at my gym wear muscles shirts low enough that their nipples are showing and baketball shorts so thin I can clearly see the outline of their junk. Am I offended? F no. I'm there to work out and you should be, as well. Plug in your ear buds, look away and get over it.

    You are joking, right?

    Don't care how old you are but perhaps you should grow up and act like an adult. You are there to work out. Perhaps it is just that you don't like them invading your space.

    I wear tight clothes to work out in because I like the fact that I can and to see that I have lost weight. Also it keeps me honest and motivated, and because I keep passing my reflection and thinking, "Oh yeah, that's what I look like now". I do dead lifts where ever I can find room in the gym and as far as gym etiquette is concerned, if someone is not passing gas in your face, it's all good. Judging others is fun for some negative people, but it is not a healthy place to be stuck in.

    I rather thought that the social norms included wearing clothing appropriate to your situation and environment...like workout clothes when you work out. It's rather like wearing swimsuits when you go swimming. Do you have the same problem when you go swimming? Are the half-naked girls parading around in their swimsuits too much for you?

    That was exactly my thought! Hey, how did you read my mind? Were you wearing yoga pants too when you thought that?

    I DID do my deads today in tight yoga pants and a tight tank top today. If I offended someone, he can just go phuck right off.

    Truly - my heart breaks for you. :brokenheart: But you must solder on in the face of the adversity known as the Yoga Pant. For verily they make our booties look angelic. This is the way of things now.

    If you could stop 'F'ing and 'Ph'ing for 2 seconds, perhaps you would be able to see the humor in his post?

    Just a thought...

    Haha! You are not offending me. But you seem highly offended. I was simply using your words as illustration of that. I am a fan of sentence enhancers myself...usually of the G-rated variety that make me seem smarter than I am.

    Sounds terrible. You should leave that gym immediately, and tell me where it is.

    So what? If you are too busy looking at people you aren't working out hard enough.
