If you don't wear short shorts or tight tops, you won't see your body as much and know what you need to work on – and this goes for the girls who are there to "REALLY" workout – if you're a competitor or are perfecting spots on your body (such as close to a competition) you need to wear short shorts to see your hams and quads, and while wearing a top that shows your midriff isn't necessary all the time, it's the same concept if you do (abs/lower back). If you have a hot body and choose to cover it up, that's all fine and dandy, but don't hate on the girls who do strut their stuff – it might not be for the reason you think – and if it is then so what? You only live once.

U know there are loads of times when men just take their shirts off in the gym while exercising. So if it is considered attention seeking/ slutty for a girl coming to the gym wearing the outfit on the right, a guy going half nude should also be put in the same category….

Oh PLEASE. When you go to the gym, you go to work out. Presumably you are going there to sweat while you're there. You want to wear comfortable clothing while you work out, not something you have to keep yanking out of your butt or shoving back over your boobs every five minutes. The only reason for wearing extremely revealing "workout clothing" is to show off, which means, to be looked at. I go to the gym in some yoga pants and a tank top, much like the pic up there to the left. I *could* easily wear what the girl on the right has, but I'm a little too busy with the weights to waste time making sure my nips are still in my shirt. The girls I see at the gym who DO dress in ultra revealing stuff also seem to always have their makeup and hair completely perfect, and never break a sweat. Therefore, they are there to fiddle around on the treadmill and various machines that they can look sexy on, while trying to attract attention. If I want to be noticed, I too will thrust the twins up to the spotlight. If I don't, I'll leave them in their trusty, comfy, oh so unsexy sport bra. I swear, the next argument from the man haters will be that they should be able to work out naked and if men look then they're uncivilized apes. *I* could not focus on my workout if Ryan Renyolds showed up at my gym in a pair of booty shorts. Why should we get pissed at men when they are distracted by us in the same getup?

oh please, this is not sexist in any way shape or form. you don't HAVE to wear revealing clothes to the gym, you can easily wear regular shorts and tank top. cut the shit, if you go to the gym wearing skimpy outfits, you WANT those stares. and besides, this is supposed to be a joke. im a female and even i hate it when some women complain that EVERYTHING is sexist. annabelle, you really need to change your tampon. oh wait, now IM sexist too!!!

We have Curves gyms out here as well as a chain called Total Women– again a female only gym. To be honest, I steer clear of trendy gyms because I don't want that to deal with that kind of attention. My comment was simply a poke at these men who think that bare skin= a desire for sex.

as an aside– I'm so sorry for your trauma Colette.

Im from South Africa. We have a variety of gyms, including one called Curves which caters just for women precisely because some ladies feel uncomfortable with men ogling them. But we have a good reason for having such a chain. We are widely known as the country with the highest incidence of rape per capita. Very sad, hey. But as a rape survivor myself, i can see this article was written in humour. Even if i did find it roughly done and a bit insulting myself. But anyway, don't look for fights ladies.

If a woman shows some skin she's not necessarily looking for male attention. (although I agree with J– she probably knows that she should be resigned to the fact that she'll get it) I think that this is where men need to take their egos out of their shorts and realize that some women actually have more on their minds than sex.
