    At first I was like:

    then I read it, and was like:

    because it wasn't what I expected, so for that I:

    It's kind of a bait and switch but also not really. It was an open letter to the lovely lady at the gym, so it's not an inaccurate title.

    That was sweet. I really didn't expect that, I'll read it later when I need more inspiration. :flowerforyou:

    No one ever suspects...a thread not full of complaining.

    Which is kind of sad, actually

    I see you there, Woman wearing Makeup at the Gym. I see you in your yoga shorts, showing off thighs that look like they're carved from rock and an *kitten* an artist would weep over, and your tank top showing guns to die for. I see you with your carefully curled hair, held back with a headband that has the nerve to match your shirt, you smell faintly of apples, and have tastefully painted fingernails, with not a single chip that I can see.

    This paragraph....

    I mean.....inspiration and yay and stuff.....


    but still...

    I liked that part also. And I love meeting lady friends at the gym.

    At first when I saw the title..I was wary of clicking but so nice to see this. I don't wear makeup but I admit, I love wearing cute matching outfits, and I've seen my fair share of eye rolling at my choice of matching attire and cute brazil shorts and tank tops. Doesn't mean I don't know how to train. I do. I just like fashion too. And I'd spot you in a heartbeat.

    ;)

    Plus there are so FEW women even near the barbells at most gyms..so we got to support each other!

    I was pleasantly surprised by the tone of this post. I was expecting more hate mail about women in makeup in the gym. As if it's anyone's business!

    My gym clothes only match because I only ever buy black gym clothes, and I never wear makeup at the gym because I rarely wear makeup ever, but I still love this! :flowerforyou:

    Yeah, I hate that too.

    There you are, having an awful day, basking in hate for humanity, wallowing in sorrow if not despair like a giant bowl of extra chocolate Nutella and along comes Wendy or Perky or whateva-her-beauty and breaks into you personal space of darkness. Just to share a little joy and interact. As if. If I wanted to talk to people, I'd work at a drive thru. "You want fries, with that?" No.

    Leave me to me. My angst only needs skin turgor for company. :mad:

    While I didn't spot for a pretty woman yesterday...I did speak to one and she was nice. So few people are friendly now days. I often talk to total strangers of course I'm a Mom with little adult interaction. Nice post.

    Another one who thought this was going to be the typical, MFP forums, misogynistic, women-hating crap. Brilliant post, even more brilliant attitude.

    Bravo =) I had no idea people were so judgmental of women working out in makeup/yoga attire/matching attire until I came to the MFP forums. It's nice see someone actually humanizing a woman/person instead of just judging. It's easy to judge. It's harder to accept other people.
