Gym princesses?

Onesnap

Who gives a **** what other girls decide to do at the gym? Their make up is clogging their pores, not yours. If they want to run on the treadmill in a prom dress more power to them. What they do has no affect on my choice to run on the treadmill in work out clothes.

They could also be covering up nasty zits with the makeup.

I could care less about girls with full makeup and hoochie mama's outfit at the gym. What bothers me are people who go to the gym to socialize, chit chat all day and take space on a machine I want to use. Oh wait, worst is actually when they try to talk to me and get me into their conversation.

One time I had to tell my friend off. She would go to the gym with me and never sweat. The fact that she doesn't sweat doesn't bother me because at least she is trying. But then she complained about how annoying and creepy the guys are for staring at her. I told her "If you don't want guys to look at you that way then don't wear your hot pink short shorts to the gym."

Just put in your ear buds.

Look the other way or stare at the TV.

Pretend you don't speak their language.

I'm thinking someone needs to focus more on their hardcore workout rather than worry about people that aren't you. :drinker:

^^This!!

They don't bother me as these tyypes never wander into the free weight side. If any woman is in there, she's there to pound weights like the rest of us (respect). If she's hot, fit and sweaty, I have do my best non-creep mode because that's damn hard not to notice.

I don't do the machines for cardio anyway. I hole myself up in one of the unused aroebics rooms, blast the rap on the speakers and jumprope my butt off for 30 minutes.

I don't care about their make up.... it's just that their lack of respect for the gym (hogging up space that others need!) and the way they stare at people who look like they've been sweating tons/red faced.

If they wanna be gym princesses who cares just focus on your excerise...cause the more attention they get the more it will light fuel to the fire..

and I wear earrings and makeup to gym if im coming from work

and I like cute workout outfits.

I've never understood this. I sweat like a monster at the gym and that's the point isn't it? I don't apprieciate the looks I get from the gym rats but other than that I mind my own business. I want to know, honestly, why do some girls only wear sports bras in the gym??? If there's a good reason, please let me know! But I mean really...yeah you have nice abs, but we don't need them to be shoved in our faces. :grumble:

I don't understand this either. It's your bra! You wouldn't go the grocery store wearing just a regular bra and no top. What's almost worse, is that there are some girls at my office that wear t-shirt with big, open collars and a neon sports bra underneath on casual Fridays. So you can see their bra. No one ever says anything. It's still your bra!

I'm glad some of us live in a very small town all you have to do is pay your bills everyone else will take care of your business......

Meh, I don't mind. They are like the televisions that are at the gym. Gives me something to look at while I work out.

yep I have to admit I check 'em out too...wondering if my *kitten* could ever fit into those lululemon pants. I have to admit that when I'm working out, and someone in a $500 work out outfit comes onto the elypticall next to me and in a really snotty tone says "um, excuse me" (insert wrinkled nose)..."like, how do you turn this thing on?" that drives me nuts...don't sit there and judge me in my sweaty XL joggers when you don't have a damn clue what's going on.

sofaking6

irony is they don't even look good..... then when i'm on the elliptical at 20 they keep staring at me coz I'm going so much slower than them (cause I have max resistance on *kitten*) while they are like lalala cycle in my no resistance elliptical! lol

This is for you!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh_yc6AKXLI

woou

Is this impeding your workout somehow?

If it is, it shouldn't. Kind of like when I'm in school, I'm too focused on studying to pay attention what's going on around me.

I've gotta say I've yet to see anyone like that at my gym. Well except for me! LOL. Seriously though I only wear makeup because I go in the evening after work and dinner. I take off all the jewelry (even my wedding ring) and slap the hair in a ponytail! I need to make a habit of taking the 5 minutes to clean my face before I go as I do sweat like you! I'd just ignore them and focus on your own workout.

OH and BTW, my husband does tell me I'm a princess!

I pack some make-up removing wipes in my gym bag. Takes no time to remove the makeup before you sweat it off. I am not sure if it is true, but I just feel like sweating with makeup on is bad for your pores.

Maybe it's the wrong gym for you. All of the hoochie dressed gals at my gym work their *kitten* off. All shapes, sizes, ages, dressed to the 9s. Here where I live the older hoochie girls (30s, 40s) are typically married or single Moms.

They do not deny who they are.

Two issues here: those that do not actually workout (rare at my gym because for $57/month who is going to waste their $$$)

The 2nd issue is those that dress all sexy.

Remember the song "Too sexy for my shirt. Too sexy it hurts"

Why don't you try to pickup one of those girls for a date...maybe they swing both ways.

If you didn't care about their makeup and what they're wearing you wouldn't have started off with "Gym Princesses" and a rant about how they have caked on makeup and dress like *kitten* and stare at you.

Frankly, I find your judgmental attitude about these women sad and telling.

They pay to use the gym same as you, right? I guess you feel more entitled because you're 'hardcore'?

Same with the fat dudes that sit on the weight machines. I'm not talking about sitting & resting between sets. I never saw them actually using the machines... just sitting... and always on the machine I wanted :grumble:

LMAO... I watched a guy do this last week. I was using the stair machine (escolator to nowhere) and he was on the abdominal crunch machine directly in front of me. In the 30 minutes I was there, he did 3 sets of 10 with 10 lbs of resistance and only moved his shoulder forward about 6 inches. People kept walking up and waiting, then would walk away when the were tired of waiting. He would just sit there looking at the TV on the wall. After my shower and while walking out he door, I noticed that he was still sitting there.

Hijack Over... We now return to the regularly scheduled discussion.

Well said.

I'm going to high-five the hot hoochie ladies at my gym tonight. Love the fact that they feel hot no matter their size, shape, age. They are probably more fun in bed anyway...most are married as I stated earlier. So they are not looking for a date, btw.

unmitigatedbadassery

To pick up guys.....

^ I really have nothing to add.

Just because they pay their monthly dues does not make them immune to criticism. It's somewhat equivalent to being a member at a country club and showing up only to halfheartedly hack the golf ball around and slow down play. Yes, you have a right to be there and do that, but that doesn't mean it's not hella annoying.

There is also a difference between a professional woman squeezing in a workout on her lunch break and a party girl who thinks the gym is a runway, and I think we all know which one the OP is complaining about.

And I still say it's a ridiculous complaint.

It takes all kinds of folks - I work out over lunch, so my makeup etc is intact when I start (what little I wear) and I re-fresh when leaving. I don't sweat a lot, unless it is really hot, I monitor my heart rate and times faithfully. I know sometimes folks look at me a bit weird if I still have on some of my jewelry. But hey, I been around the block enough times to not care!!!!! I am there for me and no one else.

I'm jealous of you...I would love to take time out in the middle of the day, have a nice break from work and a workout, but I am a sweaty sweaty pig and my hair can't handle twice a day blow drying.

I say, it doesn't matter what someone looks like, or how many calories they're burning, as long as they're not in my way or in my ear.

jenny95662

I dunno for me it is not my business, i will admit i go to the gym when i still have my makeup on from the day i still go and sweat and wipe it when i go take a shower but if i am going from work or from being out with the hubby having lunch i am not going to go home just to take my makeup off i could care less., With that being said i do still sweat BUT who cares about others. They are paying for there membership they can do it how they want. They have every right to be there too whether they are doing a workout up to your standards or not. At least they are not sitting on there *kitten* at home doing nothing.
And not just girls do this I see guys all done up too gelled hair and such but no one complains about them. Hell I had an old guy who stopped to put his lipstick on in the middle of the workout yes i said his lipstick it was quite terrific lmao When I go I dont pay attention to others and I tend to go to the gym where I dont have all the young kids talking lol I go to the ymca so i dont have to deal with them in my way lol


i just do not get this pet peeve who cares if they are a professional worker or a club girl why do you have to judge others it makes no sense i dont want people looking at me goin gomg she is so heavy and at the gym so why is it ok to say well she dresses like she is going to the club and has makeup on. Arnt we suppose to be adults and not judge others or is it ok for some and not others lol

I'd much rather see a woman killing it on freeweights and sweating.....

As ridiculous as it may be, she has just as much a right to complain about it as they do to show up at the gym and maybe/maybe not use the machines.

If you think there's anything wrong with a girl being all hoochie (dress, makeup, shaking their thang) at the gym you really need to expand your horizons.

Some of the girls dressing like that are actually part of MFP for all you know, and you're hurting their feelings.

WHAT if said hoochie girl just lost 60 lbs and is showing it off? What if she was there at 7am in a spin class and is just on the treadmill later in the day?

WHAT if hoochie dressing girl is just there to get out of her house for a little bit (and catch up on some phone calls...)

So what?

We live in a free country.

If the OP is so into her workout then why does she even pay attention to them? Shouldn't she be focused on herself?
