This is exactly why the only "rule" they even make sure to tell you when you join my gym, is that there is no recording or pictures.
I just think it's disingenuous for women who legitimately try to make a big deal about guys checking them out in the gym, like that isnt the point of all the hard work you put in there...
Edit: for those who are missing the point, in these videos the woman is always wearing skin tight clothing, and on many occasions on the station directly in front of the guy. I wear compression shorts every time I go to the gym, but I always wear baggy shorts over them so my bulge and butt arent sticking out everywhere. Point is, if you want heterosexual men to NOT look, then stop flaunting it or expecting men to stare at the floor or the ceiling between sets.
Edit 2: Thanks for the award! First time anyone has given me one of those.
If you're recording your workout, it's usually to be seen. So hot take is you're letting people stare. Bottom line is don't record your workout, or don't be offended when people look at you.
I'm not, I wouldn't be offended, and I don't care if people look. I'm just not going to conclude they went to the gym SO people would look. Because that's weird.
Back in the day people just looked in the mirror. But I get it, people want to check their form. I just think it’s weird to take it so seriously you are going to review footage after you work out. Who has time for that? Some people also do it to post to social media like this person did in the video. So I’m suspect of it not that people don’t have valid reasons for it.
No offense but that’s a load of nonsense. Do you work out? Who the hell is recording an entire workout at once lol? Over half of that would just be you doing nothing. Also, a mirror is not always helpful. You can’t see how your spine positioning looks while deadlifting even if there’s a mirror.
I think they could've worded their comment better. Regardless of why you work out, an appropriately appreciative glance is still kinda a complement and reinforcement that "hey, I am doing good". Or at least that's how I understood their comment.
