Why do women wear tank tops to the gym more than men?

lol, you speak truth on the downward dog.
If only it was culturally appropriate for me to wear a nice midriff, skin tight top. I'd probably have to shave... a lot...0 -

Hahahaha....before you do anything unreasonable, watch the movie '40 year old virgin'... The waxing scene is real, as far as I read....
I have trained with a heavy girl who was always pulling on the sleeves, adjusting her baggy t-shirts, tripping over her wide pants... It was not only distracting, it's dangerous if your wardrobe cause loss of focus on heavy lifts. If you have your body weight worth of weights on your shoulders, an extra square inch of skin showing should be the last thing on your mind....IMO0 -
I usually go nude until the cops show up.0

Gee... I wonder. lol0

From OP's profile: "That guy at the gym who is always there but doesn't look very buff for how much time he spends working out."
Hmm...this might be corrected if you concentrated more on your workout, rather than what others are wearing at the gym.

Hahaha....c'mon...it would be a lot less fun at the gym, if eye candy wouldn't occasionally show off their goods...gotta be a good sport about it and enjoy a good laugh....lol
But seriously, I have been asked for advice on exercises and form before, and sometimes I had to say, I'd help if I'd be able to see what your body is doing...not possible with some clothes..
I have also been asked to give riding lessons. That's another sport where posture makes or breaks a performance. I agreed to instruct, when the girl agreed to find something to wear besides extra tight fashionable low rise jeans and baggy t-shirts.... And sure enough, she came with a fitted shirt, appropriate stretchy riding pants, and decent footwear. Made a world of difference.0 -
They're also more likely to wear tight workout pants. Why? Because that's what marketing tells us to wear.
For me, the only time I care if its a tank or tee is when I'm outside. I don't want a farmer's tan. Simple as that.
I think girls are self conscious about sweaty pits because we're (some of us) made fun of in elementary, junior, and high school if we have sweaty pits. I know I was made to feel really bad about that, as were my sister and some of my close friends. We grew up in a time (not that long ago, 1995 - 2006) when it was mostly only okay for guys to sweat and if a girl did then she was gross. Not that sweaty guys aren't icky too, but it wasn't frowned upon.
Back then, the thing was to be thin. Fitness is a new goal these days in marketing.0 -

:huh:
I wear tight pants because they don't get dangerously caught up in things, like heavy barbells, or hand off me when I'm upside down. Not because some marketer sold it to me.0 -

I'm physically uncomfortable sweating in a regular T-shirt. It has nothing to do with being self-conscious. I wear what's physically comfortable and moves well. Period.
I don't think anyone at my gym even looks at me, anyway. And if they do, they keep their thoughts to themselves and I don't care. I go in, do my thing and leave.0 -
Hey, just because some messages come from marketing doesn't mean it isn't good sense!They're also more likely to wear tight workout pants. Why? Because that's what marketing tells us to wear.

I'm just thinking back to a time before yoga pants were a trend (You know...before that Lululemon trend got so big). Women used to wear looser shorts. I wore pj pants as a kid because that's what people did. Tighter pants make more sense to me too.0 -

Excellent point- to me it's a matter of form and function. fitted clothing allows me to function better.
I've almost busted my *kitten* wearing longer flared type pants- I've given myself crazy rash's from clothing that was causing friction b/c it was moving to much.Back then, the thing was to be thin. Fitness is a new goal these days in marketing.
meh- my goal has always been to be better- harder stronger faster- period.
Being "thin" has never been a goal.0 -

Nahh....besides not wanting to trip over my pants all the time, and the nude guy from the post above makes me wear those tight capri yoga pants instead of shorts....I also wipe the benches BEFORE I use them.....
I currently live on a farm, and I wear long sleeves on the hayfield..and 100+SPF......lol
Kids have always been cruel or bullies. Back then, nobody cared if we beat them up for it, though...
If you think, fitness is just a recent marketing thing, think again... I grew up in. the 80s....I got thrown into the aerobics area in full force...skin tight leotards, leg warmers....EVERYTHING.... If you think, it's embarrassing now.....hahahaha...
But I always have been into fitness. I'm 51 now, and as far as I can tell, I'm the only one in the extended family, who isn't on some kind of medication. And yes, I will proudly wear my guns in a tank top to any family gathering, too...right along with my abs...absolutely no shame here!0 -

Good goal, good song, regardless of what crime Kanye perpetrated against it.
My goal is to be able to break bones with my hands, after that I'll master the Bolo glare.
I've found for my lifting, lululemon makes EXCELLENT shorts. They definitely will take some damage from a deadlift, but the material is excellent as is the length. Absolutely ZERO binding on the knees during squats.
I actually dig the lululemon stuff a lot.0 -
I didn't realize it was exclusive to any particular gender identity… I personally work out in novelty/concert t-shirts that I painstakingly de-sleeved myself, seam by seam (unlike others who inadvisedly just take a pair of fabric scissors to the sleeves); I do so neither as an æsthetic statement nor an ill-conceived mating ritual, rather for the greater range of motion they afford me relative to full t-shirts.0

I want to seduce men with my sexy shoulders, to free up more weights.0

I hate having to move my sleeves to get to my MP3 arm band, I sweat like crazy so tanks are best for me, I don't care what people wear.... I am there to worry about my workout! ????
This. I like racer back tanks more specifically. I hate having straps fall down when I'm working out, and I don't like having sweaty pits in t-shirts!0 -
Because going topless like a lot of guys do is generally frowned upon because of certain frontal accessories.
who on earth is frowning?0 -

I like tank tops, and when I'm rocking the guns, I wear them. I will not wear a jog bra only or anything teeny tiny becasue, well, it's just attention seeking, no matter how much we want to deny it. Also, for logic purposes I like to use the shirt to wipe sweat off. A towel sometimes ends up on the floor and I'd don't really want to have to wipe my face with something that has touched another thing that has had 500 *kitten*, hands, feet, etc, on it.
On another note, right now I'm getting strong but I'm still overweight so the Hanes v-neck XL short-sleeved shirt is my go-to top. If I'm feeling particularly fit, I will wear a smaller, more fitted v-neck tee. (I love V-necks!)
I like when I'm looking in the mirror and although I'm technically fat, I can see that big six-pack under the shirt. I know I've got the chops, I just have to stop overfeeding my pie hole.

Uhhhhh, Noooo! It's because yoga pants hold everything together, that's why. And boot cut yoga pants just look nice over my Adidas sneakers...mkayyyy!
Oh and sweaty pit phobia....yeah, that's just plain silly. I'm in a gym working out; I hope I have sweat stains. (But I don't get sweaty pits anyway)

I don't. I wear a t-shirt that's lose n big ...0
-
I pick that days workout attire depending on what activity I'll be doing.
For example, if its upper body I am more likely to wear something like this
But, lower body:
But wrist sweat bands always.
I don't wear cotton however. Give me the synthetics because I pig sweat something fierce.
Stop flirting with us Matt......tease!0 -

And once again....Just because he's so damn cute!!!0 -
I like to show off my sexy arm fat.
I almost started cracking up at work!0 -
Because I can dammit!0
-
I use the campus fitness center sometimes - mostly for cardio. There is a sign posted on the weight training equipment floor that sleeved shirts are required. I don't recall the wording, but it was clear that tanks are not enough. Maybe to make cleanup easier, less direct body contact? Not sure - just a guess.0
-
I wear tank tops because I am at the gym to build muscle. When I am lifting I can look in the mirror and see my form and what muscles I am working. I work out better this way and it motivates me. I also wear shorts because I can see how I am defining my leg muscles!!
I also do not the way sweating feels in a t-shirt!!!0 -

My husband calls his arm bands his power bands, lol!! I crack up all the time, he will not go to the gym without them!:bigsmile:0 -
1. T-shirts have no shape: dry-fit types are very unflattering compared to regular cotton and cotton gets heavy when it gets wet.
2. Tanks have built in bras (most of the time) eliminating the need for a separate purchase.
3. Men have more body hair then women (in general, the more a man gets in shape however the more likely he is to remove his body hair to see his definition and just to keep up with the current social norm). That being said, even hairless men usually keep their underarm hair and that’s not fun to look at – distracting for the lifter, kind of gross for the rest of us0
