    Is it that she is 50 or the bra less thing that bothers you? Cause regardless of age you should have enough sense to wear a bra.

    I can see a few possible reasons.

    Where I'd identify the most- I vaguely remember being an A cup (when I was 12), and I don't recall them bouncing all that much, or being uncomfortable when they did. And even at a D cup, except for TOM, my boobs never hurt when I bounce, supported or not. And I sweat. A LOT. You know the saying. "women don't sweat, they glow"? Well, not in my case; I sweat acid rain that kills smurfs. If I didn't need a bra, I wouldn't want to be wearing a sweaty one.

    So assuming your middle-aged friend was never blessed by perpetually-expanding boobage, I totally get it.

    I don't get it, totally distracting and not in a good way. There's a woman who doesn't wear a bra during step classes, I wouldn't look but since I'm the instructor I'm supposed to look at everyone.

    WOW! A lot of opinions on this topic.
    1. Loved the guy who said he would rather see tata's than man balls hanging out of their shorts!
    2. I'm 47 and I have DD's and feel they look pretty. You know how it goes. When you are 20, 40 is old; when you are 30, 50 is old; etc... The older you get, the older old is.
    3. I admit, the girls could be distracting and should be covered up.
    4. If she wants to let them "fly" I suppose it shouldn't bother me, but it is noticeable.
    5. Rarely came across a man that wasn't fascinated by a braless boob.

    Wearing a bra isn't about having sense.

    It actually makes more sense if you go with medical reasoning to go without a bra.

    If I had boobs that stayed up where I didn't need a bra, I'd so do it. As it is, I can't do it. I'd have no problem seeing other woman braless, but maybe I'm just a perv. :tongue:

    Why would it bother me? I don't care what she wears, it's not my business as long as everything is covered up.

    She probably has a reason she goes bra-less, even if its just personal preference. You'll never know.
    I asked a lady at the gym once why she did aerobics bare footed, (something most of us wouldn't do), and she had a long medical reason for her choice. The lady at your gym may not have a medical condition of some kind that makes it uncomfortable to wear a bra, but either way, I'd say live and let live.


    This is very true, my mother who has had acid reflux, had a lung removed 15 years ago, her esophagus shifted due to the empty space. due to the shift her reflux is worse, she can not wear a bra at all or she gets in so much pain she cannot breath. and defianly forget her eating in one. trying to wear a bra works better than gastric by pass for her.

    I'm just wondering if we are missing the point of being at the gym... for health, not fashion.

    Nope, no issues. It's just gross to me.
