meerkat stew Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 I don't wear gym shorts that reveal part of my dick, and so you shouldn't wear something that exposes your private parts either /thread As far as women at the gym, I see two types generally, the ones there to exercise, and these almost never have anything revealing on, though they may wear tights or shorts, and the ones who are there for attention (wearing makeup, jewelry, -and- hot, revealing outfits -and- not exercising in any meaningful way). At my gym they run about 70/30 exercise/attention. OP try water groups or learn tennis. Most communities have a river or lake nearby and there are usually groups of water conservationists that attract women.
meerkat stew Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 I didn't say they were sleazebags. But I did say that the men who try to hit on me while I'm swimming laps at the pool are stupid. Do they really expect this approach to work? Would it be more effective if we wore big fins and a snorkel? I'm tempted to join a pool gym now and test out a big orange floatation device on my back... or a shark fin for chick magnet appeal.
marsle85 Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) No, you are a moron. There is no reason why your gym gear has to be styled in a way that shows cleavage. I don't wear gym shorts that reveal part of my dick, and so you shouldn't wear something that exposes your private parts either - unless you are attention whoring. Ditto for spandex. Do you see [straight] guys wearing that kind of sh*t to the gym? The bottom line, dress appropriately or shut your trap. It's obvious that you are an attention whore of the worst kind. You both enjoy the attention AND enjoy bitching about it. Otherwise, you would have already joined one of those 'women only' gyms. First off- It's not coincidental that men's spandex is also tight. And why is "She's an attention whore" the default response for a woman not attending a "Women only" gym? That's completely discrimination. The only way a woman can go without being creeped on is to hide her body and join a convent? This is precisely the type of mythology that our society enables. It's a "woman's fault" for "tempting" men. Seriously, grow up. Discrimination based on gender is even more emphasized in cultures where it's necessary for women to don clothes that cover the entire body. We need to put blame where it belongs and start holding people accountable for their ACTIONS, instead of side-stepping the offender and giving him any sort of excuse. Edited March 9, 2010 by marsle85

Author Lakeside_runner Posted March 9, 2010 Author Posted March 9, 2010 Haha! It's fun to watch how this thread evolved into a discussion of men/women dress code at the gym and what it may imply . Thanks for all suggestions!
Ruby Slippers Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Hey, LR, sorry for hijacking your thread with silly stories. I was thinking more about your question last night... I would be very open to meeting a nice guy while doing fitness stuff -- hiking, running, biking, tennis. I think a great approach would be to gauge interest with light conversation, then if she responds, invite her to do that activity some other time with just you. For instance, if a dude at the neighboring tennis court were making conversation with me when we happened to cross paths, and he kept it going, commented on my game, etc., I would be playful and responsive to that. Then, during a mutual break, he could ask me to get together and hit sometime. And we'd go from there. Matter of fact, that would be a pretty romantic, fun way to meet a guy.
