Women, lets have a talk... a really "personal" talk

Brianna72994

This is ridiculous.

If you dont like the people in the locker room, find a different gym. Or dont use the locker room.

And shut up about it.

And since when are you to judge anyone on anything? I am rather perplexed on how you became queen of hygiene.

And yes, women can groom however they want, don't like it then maybe you shouldn't spend your time staring at it to know this is a "problem".

Feminine washes are really not all that great as previously stated. It eliminates the natural occurring cleaning your body already does. And heaven forbid if you can smell anything - either check yourself first, or get your nose out of other women's Y's.

I dont have pedicured feet, cant afford it, so unless you want to pop out the $$$ I will be glad to go.

Hint: Focus on yourself and quit staring at the women in the gym locker room. Just sayin

Wow, I'm so glad that there are women like you that are the epitome of femininity and style to set us slackers straight.

1. I don't have $30 to get my feet "done" whatever the heck that means. If I have extra $30 its going towards the kids, or fixing the car or maybe date night for me and hubby. As long as my feet are clean, nails trimmed - then they are cool.

2. YOU cannot tell me that NO man likes funky feet... my husband could care less if my toenails are painted or not. As long as we're working well through life together and we still rock each other's world, pink toenails really aren't going to have an impact.

OH and I have bad scars on my legs (which I'm sure you would find grosss. I can't shave, the skin is too thin and I can't risk cuts leading to another 3 year infection. So
before you pronounce that hairy women are gross... there may be significant reason why someone doesn't shave.

3. As for odor, get up out of other women's business. And by the way, when women actually workout and work hard, we tend to sweat and that means a bit of stench.... all over. But then I'm sure you're one of those who comes in with perfect hair and makeup, walk the treadmill on low speed for 20 min, then goes and tells her girlfriends that she "works out" everyday.

Douche is such an appropriate word here.

If you're so offended, why not comment to the ladies in the locker room, and see what they have to say to you?

Also, pu**y isn't supposed to smell like flowers, powder, bubblegum or apples. It's supposed to smell like pu**y.

I haven't run into this problem at my gym, school, or anywhere around here. =/ I guess I just haven't gotten very close to a girl to smell her vag odor or pay any attention to their feet.... I've never checked out another girl's feet. XP Don't frequent the locker room if it bothers you that much. You've got a shower at home. Change real quick if you must and leave.. I don't think this is the place to have your 'personal talk' rant. Maybe you should bring that up with the actual people your having a problem with..

Besides....if your at the gym, women SWEAT. Just means they are working their *kitten* off and not wasting time at the gym. Of course they are going to stink. Do you get done and still smell like perfume and flowers? If so maybe you should rethink your routine.

Wow.

This thread was not even ON my MFP Bingo card.

Cinderella story comes outta nowhere to win it all, you gotta love that.

No *kitten*.... I figured this was another period or boobs thread. Oh my.

I wonder if it makes it better if I never shave my legs in the summer too? You know like, I'm not just letting myself go for WINTER, I let it go ALL THE TIME.

Dear OP: More men for you I guess. Since the rest of us are disgusting. If you find that doesn't seem to be working out the way you'd think it would, you might try a bit of a personality adjustment instead of fussing with your toenail paint. I hear some men like that sort of thing. Madness, I know.

My vagina smells of strawberries but tastes of vinegar

confused. ummm...would you like a solution to your sour puss?

jenilla1

I've never smelled anything that nasty in a gym. If there are women with really strong, foul vaginal odors, that's not normal. It may be time for them to visit the doctor for treatment of whatever condition(s) they are suffering from. :sick: I don't like foul odors, so that might make me a little queasy, and cause me to move to a new area, but the rest of the stuff you mentioned doesn't matter to me. I don't notice unkempt feet or body hair. I just don't care about that stuff and it's not my business. I also don't care about other women's cellulite, fat rolls, stretch marks, scars, tattoos, piercings, etc. Not my body, not my business. Don't go in the locker room if you can't handle other people's bodies.

Is it judge-y in here or is it just me?

Josie_lifting_cats

:laugh:

lmao... so true!!!

I know some people say Vaginas are self cleaning, and they are... BUT BUT BUT so are your ears, and you still use Qtips. And so is your nose, but you still clean out boogers. Come on! Clean it up and keep it fresh. A little sweet yummy feminine smell never killed anyone. And for GOD sakes if it smells fishy, go to the dr, a simple abx will clear that right up. No need to spread around the stench to anyone in arm distance.

And nothing on the PLANET annoys me more than girls that quit shaving just because its winter. Sigh. But ultimately that is their business.

I guess to each their own, but when your smell starts heading my direction, I get to say something about it. :smokin:

They actually recommend NOT using Q-tips, because it compacts the wax in your ear and can cause further problems.

And boogers eventually would come out on their own - it's the body's way of protecting you from unknown objects.

So half of your thread is completely invalid. Thanks for playing anyway.

Hey--I know lots of women bash the OP but I happen to whole-heartedly agree.

Exactly. Quit sniffing me...I just smell like raspberries.

No, it's not just you. :laugh: I was thinking earlier that there were too many mean and judgmental posts floating to the top on this site tonight.

Then again, people like me responding just makes it worse. I'm going to shut up now. i suppose that trolls like the OP don't deserve all this attention.

*DDRs for 3 hours and circles OP til she faints*

Power to stinky, hairy, hobbit feeted hippies and super healthy persons everywhere, not giving a piss what other people think, to do what they know is best for themselves. It takes GUTS to go to a gym, in the first place, and it takes even more guts, to go HARD. Good-for-frigging-you. I say when you get those looks and whispers, from THEM, march about as that person's personal air de-freshener.

Then again, the OP might be a troll, because im not entirely sure this is all for real... but then again, the times, they have a-changed... So maybe it is. In which case... :sad:

I just looked up and saw my cat cleaning his "toenails" with his teeth. Maybe this is what the OP means by getting one's feet "done." Although I'm not sure why that would cost $30? Maybe for women who aren't flexible enough to do it themselves?

StillChangingAmie

Has it occurred to OP that maybe the women in her gym are not actually set out to impress her?

CRAZY, I know, but hear me out.

There also may even be religious reasons for someone to not shave themselves. Maybe one should think a little before being so quick to judge. :]

love4fitnesslove4food_wechange

That makes me freaked out to know that there are women out there, who would stare at my privates at the gym, go home..think about it , and then post on an online forum about it.

Are you peeking under shower curtains?

Weirdo.

I think you have to be the weirdo to have misconstrued the OP so horribly--either paranoid or doing some peeking of your own. just sayin.

JennyLisT

Not all women shave. There's nothing wrong with that. The beautiful and amazing Amanda Palmer comes to mind. She wears her hair everywhere!

Amanda Palmer is one of the sexiest women alive, hair and all.

Wait, are you not supposed to peek? Uh oh.....

There are so many problems with this post that I don't even know where to begin and quite frankly I can't be Fukt.

Live and let live. If it bothers you that bad I would say go to another gym, but I'm guessing you won't be able to find one up to your standards anywhere. Locker rooms smell, it's a gym! If you dont need to shower after your workout, you're not working hard enough. I personally shave everyday because that's the way I like to keep my body. It's a personal preference. Do I think women who don't shave are gross as you seem to? Not at all.

Another poster already mentioned that Americans are considered obsessed with shaving, we are also considered obsessed with hygiene in general. No other country in the world showers as much as Americans do. I would hate to see how you would fare in countries where bathing a few times a month is the norm.

As far as my feet go.... I paint my nails, I keep them trimmed, but my rough feet paid for my college education thank you. As a Division 1 athlete I practiced more hours a day than I spent in a classroom during college. (Just graduated in May, quite excited) Try running 5 miles, going to a weight training session, then practicing for hours and NOT having calloused feet. Not everyone in the world has the same life or story as you. If I got regular pedicures, my feet would bleed and blister after the rough protective callouses were removed.

Lastly... so a woman goes a few days between shaves. If she is considered unhygienic and unpleasant to look at because of this, does that mean any man with a beard is also considered so? I mean that hair is right there on their face for the world to see.....

I actually agree with the first post. Hairy vaginas should not be offensive! Half of you need a huge wake up call!

SweetCheekszx0

Idk i agree, I had this problem growing up in High School too, some girls are just plain nasty. We all learn personal Hygiene that being said unless its apart of your religion not to wash you have no excuse. I Cant begin to tell you what I've seen walking into a bathroom stall in the ladies room.. & thinking to myself WTF? how the ****? and just why?...

My Mom used to say that a fox smells his tracks first. Hmmmm...

Wow. Seriously? Not being funny, but you might be spending too much time looking at and/or sniffing other women in the locker room. Ala if you smell them like that, your locker room is either reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tiny, or you're standing too close in their personal space.

Either way, let it go and focus on why you're there. Or don't use the locker room and change at home.
