    Nobody wants to see that. A nice pair of gym shorts is the way to go. Are spandex even comfortable for guys?

    Uber creepy. Although I have a gay friend who can rock the spandex, and it seems totally normal on him.

    I don't think anybody should wear spandex. Ever. Bicycle shorts while riding a bicycle I do not consider spandex so much. Only exception. Tight fitting - okay. It's thin and usually shows more than what the world wants to see in every unflattering way possible. Of course every body has the right to wear it though. Me - nope.

    I used to wear spandex to the gym on my deadlift days. To avoid marking up my legs too much.

    Maybe niner will chime in. He had an admirer during a yoga class while wearing spandex.

    Only acceptable if accompanied by flourescent leg warmers and sweat bands, and preferably also with a tank top with a cool slogan on it, like 'choose life'! :tongue:

    This guy is doing squats but I suspect the tights are so the knee wraps don't cut too bad.

    Why does it matter what other people think?

    I wear them in kickboxing class. This way my "junk" don't fly out when I do hard kicks. They would if I were wearing shorts.

    I used to work with a guy who wore thin spandex to ride his bike and you could see the whole outline of his mushroom.

    I think it's alright if you wear it underneath other clothes. You gotta have some support, lol!

    Personally I don't care what anyone else wears to the gym. Whatever floats your boat!

    Aren't you the same guy who asked everyone to rate your hotness on a bet with your wife?
    Maybe you can put on the spandex and we can rate how hot it looks.

    For both males and females: If you're gunna wear spandex, thats fine. Its very comfortable and keeps you cool. but please wear shorts over them.

    Dudes I do not want to see the outline of your junk. Just wear spandex with baggy gym shorts over... its what I do

    This gives me an idea.

    I don't think I have my long tights but I might take an "after" pic in them to show leg definition. My legs are sort of hairy :blushing:

    Can't be any worse than taking a pic in underwear.
