Anna Sirota Are these clothes for fitness or sex? 08/10/2024, 08:29

I’ve been going to the gym for six months now. The first months were extremely stressful: I don’t really like sports, and I can’t seem to keep a slim, fit body, so I didn’t really look around until recently. She came in and quickly put on a pair of black sweatpants and a loose, long T-shirt. My outfit had several goals: not to restrict movement and not to be a visual distraction for myself or others.

And recently, I finally got used to the weekly torture of physical activity and looked around to discover with astonishment the huge difference in appearance of the participants in the recovery process.

I’m only talking about women because it’s rare for a man to be so concerned about how he looks at the gym that he takes a long time to take a selfie in front of the mirror before leaving the locker room. Who knows, maybe it happens there too, but men don’t tell anyone about it.

Here in the women’s locker room people are divided into two categories. Ladies dress like me, while girls wear tops with bras and tight shorts. The first ones go to group classes. I don’t know why, but men ignore pilates and stretching, not to mention dancing or jumping on big balls. The second, as you might guess, spend time in gyms, where representatives of the stronger sex live.

It is clear that girls want to showcase their products, so to speak, but the degree of outspokenness is sometimes surprising.

The dress code should be as follows: the top and bottom should fit tightly or very tightly on all forms. So much so that it is impossible to wear underwear under such panties, at most thongs. In this case, the inside of the shorts can even be slightly transparent. The butt, of course, should not be flat or wobbly in any case. And none of this; they are all muscular and Kardashian-looking, that’s exactly what it is. A sports bra should definitely not be simple, but rather puffy, so that everyone you meet and cross can immediately appreciate at least the third size, and the body is tanned appetizingly. Between the top and shorts, folds of skin or, God forbid, fat are prohibited. In general, what did Chekhov say there? Should everything be perfect in a person? I don’t know what their soul and thoughts are like, but everything else in the girls on the simulators is absolutely fine.

I am not judging, as I am aware that our women do not have many options. A friend of mine recently tried to buy overalls for sports in one of our markets. “This is definitely for sports What kind of photo is this? Who were these clothes made for, men? – was angry on his social networks. “We don’t like looking at these images at all!”

You probably already noticed that the pictures of sports uniforms do not depict girls flexing their biceps, but there were a lot of such “spreads” – rear view shots in the style of “downward dog”. Or in a cat pose, front view, and the expressions on the models’ faces were also not at all sporty. The mouth is slightly open, as always, eyes are glazed, the zipper on the bodice is unbuttoned – it is immediately clear that the girl is ready for sports shows and encourages people to follow her example. If you do not believe me, you can enjoy it yourself. Do not think twice, you can also take ordinary human sweatpants and a T-shirt, but what will you do next, where will you go in such a shameful form?

In general, ordinary people like me are forbidden to enter the territory with exercise equipment – we will stand out too much against the general strict erotic background. The other day I deliberately walked around the entire hall to make sure that there was not a single overweight woman, not a single woman over 30-35, wearing a T-shirt instead of a top. Only busty and busty tanned beauties. Full lips, thick eyelashes and nails resembling saber-toothed tiger teeth are innate. At the same time, men look different, there are those with potbellied, there are those with bald heads, those with necks and those without. Apparently, the myth about thin, tanned athletes is no longer in fashion.

The only thing I can’t understand is how the poor guys who appear before their eyes throughout the training can concentrate on certain sets, weights, speed and heart rate? And from all sides! How do you think about sports achievements when your eyes are constantly looking at someone’s chest, then at their ass, then, excuse me, at their groin? What willpower is needed so as not to repeat the sad fate of Bublikov? Remember how there was such a character in the movie “Office Romance”? He was doomed to sit under the stairs and look under the miniskirts that were fashionable at that time, almost against his will. This greatly spoiled his life and undermined his health.

Don’t think so, I really understand girls. Where else can you find a man who approaches his health responsibly, if not in the gym? Therefore, down with shame and long live thongs! In the meantime, I do quiet pilates without any harm to my nervous system.
