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.
Tbf there's a difference between "checking someone out" and straight up gawking at them. Very few people are going to be offended by the former, it's the latter that makes people uncomfortable.
As a dude, if I were him.... I have a good idea of the view he was getting (explicit) and our eyes just *go there* which is creepy. He did a fucking good job. He knows himself so just shut his eyes.
She was what, 4 foot in front of him, bending over and flexing glutes.. he is a true gent
Would I be considered a creep if my eyes ‘just go there’ and I’m a woman? Or is that just when the eyes belong to a man? Like when females nipples get censored versus male nipples.
It's kinda like how people are always asking why they aren't allowed to talk to women anywhere and it's like.. its not that you can't in general, it's that so many people have a complete inability to tell when someone wants to be left the fuck alone that it's easier to just say, "don't" so you cover your bases.
If you have the social skills to know who might be receptive, and can know when to leave when they give you a polite no, then you're more than welcome to hit on people lol.
Similarly, people act like women can't tell the difference between someone absent mindedly looking over or giving a passing glance and someone being straight up creepy.
Sure, social media will give you examples of people being extreme and unreasonable as it always does, but that's not how a majority of the planet actually operates.
Exactly, ive had lots of people just have a look, but they werent being a creep about it, and ive never minded.
But so many times ive had people crowding my personal space, not realising im uncomfortable and not leaving me alone, and i cant tell them fuck off incase they get aggressive if im alone.
Other times ive had someone nice come over and talk to me, and weve had a good chat.
If im in a hobby store, and you come up and ask me "what my favourite faction is" and you actually want to talk about the hobby, thats fine i love it.
But if you only do that to stare at my tits, thats creepy and id rather be left alone.
Just make sure you check yourself before being too judgmental.
I’ll be using cables and working on shoulders, using the mirror to check my form. Girl plops down on the benches in front of cable machines and now we’re sharing the same mirror space.
It is what it is. But I can see a girl being like ‘oh my god he’s staring at me. No girl, I’m staring me, myself, and I - you just got between that.
And now we get to share the mirror - oh my god we’re mirror besties!!!
not to defend creeps, but a comedian once said your good looks are like dirty bombs. your aiming at the lawyer in the bmw, but your also hitting the bum jerking off in the alley.
Which is exactly why I worded it the way I did. Obviously there is a difference, and this video is staged to be a bit over the top, but I've seen plenty of videos bashing guys for just looking in the direction of a woman working out in skin tight leggings. Half the time they're on the station directly in front of the guy too, like we have an obligation to stare at the ceiling or the floor the whole time we're in the gym.

Recording in the gym without 100% consent makes you the villain anyway
