Why don't more men wear tight shorts to the gym?

It's just not the norm I guess. I like lifting in compression shorts but I don't at the gym.0

Women don't have external genitalia. You have no idea what it is like to constastly have to adjust things because your shorts/undies are too tight.[*] which is really hysterical b/c that's exactly why women don't wear baggy clothing- it doesn't allow for free range of motion.
I wasn't really talking about the shirt here.[*]don't kid yourself honey- nothing hides it. Also sweaty clingy t shirt? if you wore no shirt or a more fitted shirt/ tank top you'd never be able to go back!!!
Of course, your crotch is sexual, but again -- we can't ascertain much about it in your tight shorts. A man wearing a pair of compression shorts leaves nothing to the imagination.[*] no- but I think you would be hard pressed to try to argue them out of being highly sexualized area- and honestly as long as you can't see EVER single wrinkle ripple and bump- whatever If I can see vacuum packed balls and things- that's a bit much even for my rather lose sense of modesty- but general outline- meh whatever.
To claim that breasts are not sexual is crazy.
Women have been judged for their sex appeal based on breast size for EVER! If nipples show, men assume we're horny. If they bounce too much, we're ogled or mocked. If they're too flat, we're judged masculine.
If they're too round, theyre fake.
So, tight shorts reveal a bulge. Whoop dee do. Most women know that size at rest is not indicative of size at play. (Unlike boobs). And unless youre popping a woody at every turn,its not going to make a damn but of difference
As for sweaty crotch...yeah, we get that too and guys think we're wet for a different reason.
Your reasons are yours, and valid for you... but to say we couldn't possibly understand is dead wrong .0 -
I think the women's bodies are built better for tighter clothing than a man's.0

Because it is a woman's JOB to be ornamental, didn't you know? Good heavens, get with the program.
Women=objects of consumption
Men=consumers
Don't break society's mold, for pity's sake, or we're done for!0 -

At home or a commercial gym it's compression shorts for me. I'm lifting and am only concerned with comfort and performance. I could care less what other men think, they have a problem with it they are welcome to bring it to my attention, but no one ever has. Woman can look or not, that's their choice not mine.0

I dont wear tight clothing to the gym and it makes it more comfortable . Im not giving away free shows and I get privacy because no one is checking me out.0

Wear what is comfortable. As for me, I typically wear a sleeveless shirt with cargo shorts that are sized about one size too large. This is for one reason... I like to be able to see what I'm working on (and don't like to get too hot when I'm running on the treadmill) but like to be able to work out without being encumbered. Ladies should dress accordingly.... Wear what works for you.0

"No meat on the butt" so I wear padded cycling shorts for comfort on floor exercises and TRX. Loose, longer jerseys do an adequate job of obscuring the crotch area. Glasses are off when I'm actually working out, so I can't see anybody seeing me.0

The question was asked earlier, if men can wear baggy clothes to the gym, why can't women do the same? Why do they have to wear skin tight clothing?
They don't. I don't. I wear b-ball shorts and old t-shirts. Don't. care. at. all.

The same reason you don't work out in nipple tassels...3

I don't know if there's any stigma. I've worn tight under-armor shirts to the gym, before, but now that I work out right after work, I just wear my undershirt from the day, which is already destined for the laundry hamper.
When it comes to shorts, it's a pocket issue for me.0 -
