    Read my profile photo. Lol
    I'm a hot sweaty mess by the time I leave the gym and bonus on not wearing makeup: the program director guessed me to be 10 years younger than my actual age :) If I felt like I had to do my hair, put n full makeup and coordinate my outfit just to work out, I would never work out lol

    ETA but as for other people, I really don't care what they do, as long as they stay out of my way if they are not really using the equipment :)

    What you see in my profile pic is usually what I wear to the gym. Sometimes I have shorts on. I also wear make-up M-F because I come from work.

    I have seen girls that come into the weight area and stand 2 ft from the mirror and try to look sexy while lifting. I don't pay them any attention. They are in there for about 5 min tops and then they go walk around and act like they are working something else out and then come back for 5 mins and so on. I've never even seen them sweat or looked flush. To each their own.

    I'm like most people - when I'm in my set I'm focused - during rests I tend to glance around or talk to my husband if he's there and close by.

    Those are the ones I don't pay attention to. You can always tell the ones that are starved for attention.

    I feel left out. I wake up and literally roll out of bed to the gym some days. The last thing I am worried about is trying to impress anyone. To each their own. I have confidence that I can pick up a guy even with sweats on at the gym. I have done it before and turns heads regardless..lol..IMO I think people care too much about how people view them hence the makeup, hair, and sexy clothes. Its all a shield regardless, but in the end the self esteem will show in the end....

    As a female I could care less. I don't notice them at my gym bc usually girls like that stick to walking on a treadmill or attempting to do ab workouts. They don't step 1 foot in the weight section!

    I really don't care. I usually go really early in the morning and that crowd is generally there to work out and that's all.

    As long as they aren't in the way (hanging out on, but not using a machine I'd like to use for example), I could care less what people do.

    Honestly, I've talked to plenty of decent guys at my gym and if I was single and 'looking', I think it would be a halfway decent place to possibly meet someone who shares similar interests...so if people are getting dates at the gym, is that so bad?

    I dont know why other people care so much how some people dress, or the amount of make-up they wear etc
    Might not be my taste, but everyone as the right to dress etc how they want regardless if they are going to the gym or food shopping...
    Of course I think over doing it at the gym is done intentionally, and to get attention, but again I dont care..doesn't bother me

    As long as the b.. female isn't wasting space hogging the squat rack checking her makeup in the mirror behind it I could care less.
