People are insecure, they always compare themselves to others.
People are insecure and judgey
Confident people are happy and secure0 -

The reflection does not need battling, rather it's the way we respond to what we see in the mirror that needs to be addressed. Get the right mentality and the mirror won't be an enemy. As for comparing to others, to me, it's totally human. We are social, part of that is fitting in. To do that, we either have to FEEL we fit or LOOK like we fit/match. Once again, it comes back to realigning your perspective with reality - e.g. what one person has may not even be possible for you.itz_kuchie wrote: »..should be more focused on battling that reflection in the mirror..2 -

The original post was edited. The original post was the OP talking about how he shouldn't wear gray sweats to the gym because of his noticeable bulge and how he felt awkward about it.
I would imagine it is awkward as it is for a woman who has big boobs.

Why edit the original post? Clearly OP wants attention drawn to his junk.

If a woman has said something about you looking, then you're doing it wrong - DON'T GET CAUGHT. Sporting cameltoe is rarely the objective, sometimes it's just something you have to deal with until you can afford new gear, sometimes they don't even know and it is embarrassing to have someone point it out. I wear what is comfortable - form fitting clothes work best for me at the gym. It not only accentuates the good parts, but also the not so good parts - I know what's up.Just cause I look doesnt mean I dont...and if you dont want me to look then dont wear skin tight clothes.....cause what if u do then I am
Being stared at is an uncomfortable feeling, just be mindful when you're looking at others, be an adult. DO NOT blame women's clothing for your behavior.

I used to stuff a potato down my pants when I performed with my band. I got a lot of really funny looks. Finally my guitarist told me, the potato is supposed to go in the front. Doh!9

Hopefully you didn't sit down while performing?1 -
First of I said look not stare and ive never got caught myself its just something guys have talked about...and like I said if you dont want to be looked at like that then there's a different way to be comfortable and not have skin tight leggings on and women know what they're doing when they do that...and its not considered a behavior cause there is no action involved...0

You know, I wonder if shoving socks in my pants would help get me more attention at the gym?
Totally. Though it probably wouldn't be the attention you were looking for and they would be in for a major shock when you removed your pants.0 -

Ahhh makes sense now cause the first post in reply did not make any sense..
Well the bulge makes him a stud LOL And I am sorry, but if its out there and bulging, it is going to be like a train wreck in my opinion.0 -
What is it that "guys have talked about"? The fact that women wear tight clothing or the fact that women wear tight clothing and expect not to be observed so closely? From this woman's standpoint, it's not so much being looked at (people look at others frequently), it's more of the fact that another person feels so entitled to look at our parts as if they are on display for that person - there's a feeling of being violated. Looking at a woman's cameltoe IS the action, it is behavior. Do you look once, a quick glance, or do your eyes keep going back to it? Consider what your behavior is.First of I said look not stare and ive never got caught myself its just something guys have talked about...and like I said if you dont want to be looked at like that then there's a different way to be comfortable and not have skin tight leggings on and women know what they're doing when they do that...and its not considered a behavior cause there is no action involved...
"if you dont want to be looked at like that then there's a different way to be comfortable and not have skin tight leggings on and women know what they're doing when they do that"
Is there a different way to be comfortable? As I said, I wear form fitting clothing because it is most comfortable to workout in. Wearing something less fitted gets bunchy, in the way and distracting to me - not comfortable. No doubt people look, like I said before, I know what's up. When I get dressed, I do it based on comfort - I am meticulous when picking out shorts to avoid sheerness as well as cameltoe, I am insecure about both. Other women may not be as picky or aware, that does not mean they intentionally show off their bits.
As for the bolded section, it's like saying "she was asking for it", which is disturbing.
In the end, you are in control of your own eyes. Try some self restraint and (once again) DO NOT BLAME THE WOMAN.3
