    Wow. This thread makes me feel better. I always think it's embarrassing. Maybe I just sweat too much. I can get how a little glistening may be sexy, but seriously--how is having the front and back of your shirt soaked through attractive??

    Before I started running outside when I was still on the treadmill I would get off of it and my shirt and shorts would be soaked like I just got out of the pool (I kid you not). Should have seen some of the looks I would get. I loved it, someone once sat their bag next to my treadmill while they got on the one next to me I had to tell them that was not a good place for it. Ive seen ppl on cardio equipment not even break a sweat and it just makes me wonder if there even working hard?

    I love to sweat! That is actually when I feel the sexiest ( that does not happen often, and just started experiencing it recently). I have the dripping, running, pooling below me kind of sweat. I always have a towel with me to wipe my face, if not it runs in my eyes and mouth.

    man, I feel like I'm the only one that goes through that. at my gym, no one else comes close to sweating as much as I do

    The last thing I'm worried about during a run is being "attractive"! :laugh:

    I love it:) When I'm running and I can feel the sweat drip down the back of my arms and hit my legs, When I take off my top and it weighs 3-4 times what it did dry. I found headwraps that absorb enough sweat and don't give me headaches so I'm not dealing with crazy amounts of sweat dripping down into my eyes.

    ok... I love to sweat. I feel like a peacock :wink:

    But seriously, I do NOT like the feeling of the back sweat dripping down my ______ ! Yep. Thats right, I hate that feeling.

    I keep a towel with me because I always keep doing until I'm dripping. A cardio workout doesn't feel right without that!

    Same here! Bring on the sweat!

    I absolutely love it. Nothing beats the cooling feel of sweat running down the back of my neck.

    I wish I wore contacts more often or could take my glasses off! My eyesight isn't too terrible, but my eyes take forever to adjust and my depth perception is just horrid, so I end up bumping into things and hitting my face on the floor during Burpees. Lol~!

    Sadly, as a contact wearer, they are no better because they(atleast for me)feel like they are drying out and i have to constantly keep blinking because they are moving around. O.e

    Just think of it as liquid awesome!!

    I sweat a lot too when I workout, which is an improvement over when I used to sweat because there was just too much weight on me.

    I have never literally dripped sweat. I don't like sweating, because I don't like the smell of it, but it never comes out in drips. I think whether it comes out in drips depends on the person rather than on the workout - I remember at school I had a friend who always sweated in drips during hot weather, while I had no visible sweat at all.


    I use to think I never sweat, it could be 100+ degrees outside and I would never sweat...then I put 2 & 2 together...I hate drinking water, so since I have been drinking 8+ cups of water each day, now when I work out, I have to be careful to keep drying my face or else it will start dripping into my eyes

    I hate sweating. I always feel like I've been dipped in a day-old barrel of cold sweat. When the sweat is dripping off me, I smell like I've been peed on. :angry:

    I haven't ever had that problem from working out specifically

    My eyes friggin suck! I hate wearing my glasses when I work out. I had them tightened recently and that helps, but I prefer my contacts when I'm doing cardio. --- and I also really hate sweat, but love the feeling after a workout! If I am sweating, I usually did something right. :)

    I didn't start the dripping sweat until I really started drinking a lot of water so I really never had that "look how much I sweated" in school thing where everyone would brag. Now I have sweat running into my eyes and I love it because my fiance will look at me when I come dragging in to take a shower and I'm like look how much I sweated today!!! He laughs and congrats me because he knows I worked my butt off and it's like a trophy to me every time I work out.

    Love it, but it can be a bit bothersome on the bike, with nothing to wipe it out of my eyes. C'est la vie, the pain is worth it.

    It's annoying when it just won't stop lol And it burns your eyes but even though my hair's always all over the place I feel super hot covered in sweat...I probably don't but whatever.

    Sweating tells me that i've done a good job working out - when i go to the shower (or leave the gym if i'm going home), my clothes are drenched in sweat! i have a very busy schedule & work out 5 days a week, so when i go to the gym, i want to leave there knowing that i made the most of my time. Granted i might not look my best at that moment, but i've done something to get myself healthier :smile:

    Since I'm not about to stop sweating, I have come to a place where I celebrate my sweat. I love it when I have earned that sweat - I purposely wear light gray t-shirts! It doesn't even sting when it runs into my eyes anymore, I'm so used to it. I have never been one of those cute little girls who just glows and the tiniest little wisps of hair curl at her nape. I am red faced and soaked through and my hair looks like it'd be a good brillo pad in a pinch - and I don't stop sweating for about half an hour after I'm done working out. So, I had to make my peace with it. :blushing:

    Please share this information. I can't seem to find any that work.

    I have the same issue. I talked with my eye doctor who introduced me to Rec-specs. They are rubberised frames that I can wear while working out and they do not slip. I look a little dorky, but at least I can see.

    If I'm not dripping in sweat by the time I'm done working out I feel disappointed. At the same time I'm annoyed when sweat drips into my eyes. My solution? Sweat bands! I got some cheap ones here:

    but they are starting to fray and although they work, they leave a silly imprint on my head for about an hour after I work out. Still worth it. ;-)

    I used to HATE sweating, it was like my body didn't want to give it up for some reason so I'd have to get miserably overheated first which just felt like torture. Thankfully the more fit and trim that I've become, my body has adapted and it doesn't take nearly that much to get the sweat flowing - so now I LOVE it!

    As far as odd places go...that's usually when I know I've totally killed a workout session...there's sweat all the way down my legs not just in the usual spots.
