Made me laugh....Silly girls in the gym.

Wow some ppl's children

I wear skimpy clothes and I bet others wish I would wear more( just cause I am a bit chubby) but I honestly could give a crap. I get hot as heck in there and wear short shorts and cut off tees because I sweat so damn much. Lol. But I have noticed at my gym its not so much the girls who are silly its the guys! there is a group that comes in and wears next to nothing shirt that are super tight and to be honest I am not sure if i have ever seen them actually lift. They kinda migrate to different machines and drink their protein shakes and talk then move on to the next machine.

Sometimes I think the gym is a hangout for some people, which gets frustrating when others just want to do their workout and get out instead of dodging people left and right to work on the machines

Buahahaha! I get the chatty Cathy guys too... Hardly an girls grace the doors of the weight rooms I go to... but man the guys are always in my way because they are sitting on the machines like two old gossips... while they are "resting" (if 5 minutes between a set constitutes as "resting") between sets.

I am cracking up here! This seems to be a really touchy subject here peeps. LOL.

I can see both sides.

I wont' lie, I get annoyed. But it's usually out of insecurity because I wonder if my hubby is checking them out at the gym himself. haha No, he is not that type of guy, he's a great man, but you know what I mean? He goes to a fancy gym and I swear, I have never seen some of the things these girls wear? Huge fake boobs (not knockin it, I wouldn't mind having them!) but in just a sports bra and tiny tiny shorts? eeek!

However.. I've pretty much gotten over this insecurity. I wouldn't want to be them really and they wouldn't want to be me. At the end of the day.. it doesn't really matter much. I do wear makeup to the gym (coming from work) and sometimes I don't. OF course I'd like to look cute.. who wouldn't? But my idea of cute and theirs are most likely totally different. LOL. I'm simple and don't want all of that, and they probably think I'm plain. haha.

So after all my babbling... I get both sides. yea, I get annoyed (I'm human). Then I realize that maybe they ARE there to meet a guy and not really workout? and I guess that's totally ok right? Nothing wrong with that. AS long as it isn't my man. Then I'm over it. I used to have a problem with this and I'd compare myself to all the super pretty girls at the gym.. I'm getting much better and just working on me.

Do I sometimes wish they would all just go away? yes! LOL I switched from the big fancy gym like this to my local YMCA where it's more family based and I'm happier there? I think different gyms attract different things sometimes. I don't know. I don't appreciate when men stare at me either.. yes men, we notice this. But again, what can ya do. You're in a place with a mix of people coming to do their own thing



anyway, good luck to all of you battling this out over a little comment! So silly.

one more thing..

and I'm not saying any of you are jealous of them.. I know it's really the opposite here in this covo. But that was just what makes me insecure and annoyed. I get it!! It's annoying. But I try to just let it be a thought now and move along.

Maybe she was dressed for something else other than the gym and didn't feel like taking off her makeup? I have makeup on when I go to my spin class bc it's my last class of the day at school and I throw my hair up. I wear sort of skimpy clothes, tight tanks and shorts or tanks and leggings because I like to see my muscles working! No one can accuse me of not busting *kitten*, though, that's for sure. I go into class looking decent, come out looking like a sweaty mess!

The hottest girls at my gym imho are the ones who seem to be in their own world, not trying to get attention, but still look awesome. Unfortunately, they're all taken. lol

Which opens up another question: Girls at the gym - talk to, or don't talk to?

My metrosexual brother who has an 6-pack at 39 says NEVER!!!!!

I go to the gym in skimpy shorts and tank tops all the time... but I also don't have fake boobs or wear makeup. I am one of the few women at the gym I go to (it's an Army gym... definitely male dominant) but I also work harder than most the guys in there. I think you can kick *kitten* in the gym and look good doing it. I understand your point though.

Nothing wrong with the skimpy clothes if you have the body for it. Personally, having a lot of extra or loose material on my skin while I'm working out makes me overheated. I've worn makeup to the gym too, usually when I go there from work. However, if I don't have "racoon eyes" from my mascara, my hair isn't a wreck, and my shirt isn't soaked with sweat by the end of my workout, I know I didn't work hard enough. 5-lb weights make good doorstops, that's about it.

Lol. My gym is a country club so it is a "hangout" for some people. They even have a bar! Luckily the loiterers seem to stay in the bar/ tv area and away from the machines.

I'm not one to complain too much but this girl in the gym rubbed me the wrong way this morning. She was maybe 90lb soaking wet and had big ol fake breast (nothing wrong with fake boobs, planning on getting some later myself lol) and had a full face of makeup on, including fake lashes, Hair (down, with extensions) fully done as if she was going out on the town and in the skimpiest outfit you could imagine. All she did was lift tiny 5lb weights and make little grunting sounds. She looked amazing and I have nothing against women who look great but all she was was a distraction. If you are going to the gym, be there to work, not to prance around pretending to lift just to get men who should be concentrating on their own workouts, to look and gawk at you. She was beautiful but I'm sure she had real low self esteem to have to be doing that. This was really just a vent, not harm intended.

Dear girls with extensions in the gym:
When you sweat, your hair gets stringy. When your hair gets stringy, it's OBVIOUS where you tracks are.
Stop being silly lady birds.
Be practical.
Mmmkay?

Also to add:

I sometimes like seeing these fit petite girls there. It gives me motivation to work harder. I see them and think to myself "Someday that will be me!" and it gives me a good boost of motivation!

...big ol fake breast ...skimpiest outfit you could imagine. ...little grunting sounds. She looked amazing .... She was beautiful ..had real low self esteem ...

Exactly where was this and when is she usually there?

x2^ lol

would ignore her

This would make me laugh too-- I'm not sure why people would get offended from your post. Obviously we all have eyes how could you not be distracted by that while walking into the gym? If someone really wants the attention that bad they are pathetic. And if she's taking a break from work to go to the gym to lift five pounds then why not just do it at your desk? Ha I'm with you on this one!
