Do you like the idea of having more male only spaces such as male only Gyms and would you attend them?

dukesaces · 2022-07-08T03:13:11+00:00

God yes, i would love male only spaces. Men and women are so fucking annoying at the gym when they workout together. Women show up in very inappropriate attire and will constantly ask for help and men fall over themselves to help those women. It's very distracting.

I also miss male only clubs where men could truly bond, share drinks, discuss politics and play card games. Today those clubs have been turned into date spots and family establishments.

TextDependent6779 · 2022-07-08T04:04:47+00:00

would be a great way to prevent men being accused of staring at women in gyms.

HikuroMishiro · 2022-07-08T03:48:38+00:00

I don't mind the idea of them, but its something that would be relevant to me that I would go to. I don't go to the gym, or clubs, or any such social place and whether it was male only or not wouldn't have any effect on me going there. That being said some men would like it, and since female only spaces are definitely allowed than its only right for male only spaces to likewise exist.

Warder766312 · 2022-07-08T03:13:49+00:00

I’m not uncomfortable around women but I do dislike them just taking up rack space so they can pose.

JACSliver · 2022-07-08T11:59:52+00:00

I mean, if women can have women-only spaces, then we men should have men-only spaces as well. For the sake of consistency.

elebrin · 2022-07-08T15:00:47+00:00

Honestly... I miss going to Lodge.

My Masonic lodge was a male-only space. It was designed around being social. We had all sorts of events for the guys, and we hosted evenings where family was invited too.

Back in the day, Lodges would have had all sorts of cool things going on for members - private lectures from university professors, private bars and clubs, access to medical professionals, and so on. That system is on it's last legs, killed in part by women who saw the entire system as sexist.

Akhenaten_Sun · 2022-07-08T23:49:58+00:00

Female only spaces: revolutionary, amazing, powerful. Men only spaces: sexist, unfair, against my rights.

NarutoBoy87 · 2022-07-08T09:42:10+00:00

We do need them.. Recently there was an issue in the UK, where the men, farmers had an association open to all and a seperate mental health one to help prevent men committing suicide.. Women wanted to part of this and made a huge deal about it though they had their own seperate women only groups..

They want to enforce no men only space is allowed to run.. It's either women only space or open to all space... Why should men have a safe space to open up.. That's only for women.. this seems to be the governments idea as well..

SwoleandLonely · 2022-07-08T05:31:19+00:00

Hell yeah, when i catch thr gym empty and work shirtless, thats so fucking good, but when women are around, yeah...

ShibeWithUshanka · 2022-07-08T07:26:39+00:00

I personally don't like the idea of segregated gyms, though the gym I attend does both have a "men's only" and "women's only" area, which I think is a great compromise. Other than that, it would be great to have some proper places where you can go just with the boys

Reddit1984Censorship · 2022-07-08T14:21:22+00:00

Yes because i cant be bother to be constantly scared of where my eyes are looking while bimbos are shaking their asses in front of me.

2022-07-08T06:37:28+00:00

Workouts could get done without an “fitness influencer” taking up space in an area or a corner with a full camera setup or some douche simp recording her. I’ve seen it and not only is it highly distracting it’s also annoying as fuck.

gre2704 · 2022-07-08T10:40:49+00:00

It's stupid that only women only spaces are allowed. As if men didn't enjoy being amongst themselves every once in a while. I will always be against forced separation of the sexes as it is practised in some countries but if a business wants to have a space extlusive to one sex, they should absolutely be allowed to do that.

makosh22 · 2022-07-08T12:03:43+00:00

I am woman. And i am a person with sheer need for personal space. And i am absolutely sute that any person has a right to spend his\her time in a company of ppl he likes. So men only clubs etc are great!

gckman915 · 2022-07-08T15:54:47+00:00

Absolutely! Not that I mind women being present but it would be nice to have an all-male environment as an option. I feel that if some business labelled itself as "men only" then it would get some public backlash...yet there are countless "women only" spaces everywhere...go figure.

Gonathen · 2022-07-08T18:39:52+00:00

Personally I just want the male only gyms. I've stopped going to gyms because I'm kind of scared of going now if I'm being fully honest.

nayiff · 2022-07-08T09:41:11+00:00

We have a bunch of male only gyms in Kuwait. In fact most gyms here are separated.

CawlinAlcarz · 2022-07-08T15:12:50+00:00

I haven't run into a great deal of entitled women (at least not any more than entitled men) either in my social life or my professional life.

I am 52 though, so, anyone under 30 in my social circle is likely to be the child of a friend. I tend to have friends who think like me though, and they also tend to raise children that think like they do too... so my world is pretty self-selected against the kinds of people a "men only" space would protect me from.

I am perfectly comfortable with private enterprise choosing to create as many "women-only" spaces that they want to. However, I certainly have no problem with those sorts of organizations getting sued and forced to become non-exclusive, in the same ways that the old "men-only" spaces (country clubs, etc.) did years ago. I would staunchly vote against public money going to support any sort of "women only" enterprise though. As for assistance resources like shelters and whatnot that are run with public money, I strongly advocate for parity with regard to having as many resources as are needed for men as for women. The problem is rooting out the misandry within our government agencies and getting them to acknowledge that they are ignoring the problems men have.

Personally again, I tend to only hang around in places that have people in them that I want to be around. If I walked into some bar with a bunch of cunts walking around in vagina hats, I'd laugh and walk right the fuck out and never go back, why would I want to even be in that space?

capitan_cruiser · 2022-07-08T07:31:03+00:00

I don’t want to contribute to the separation between gender/race/nationality it doesn’t feel right, just because women do it doesn’t make me want to do it too but the opposite, stop with the “x” gender only spaces

ABeeBox · 2022-07-08T17:22:37+00:00

If there were male only gyms I'd definitely start going to a public gym instead of my home gym.

WellHowAboutNow2 · 2022-07-08T00:24:58+00:00

I'm not uncomfortable around women at all. And I don't think most of my friends are uncomfortable around women. However it makes sense that if men here are uncomfortable being around women, they should have their own spaces.

RedcloudGeorge · 2022-07-09T01:47:41+00:00

I definitely like the idea of a men-only gym, and I would feel more comfortable working out in one. But not every guy is into working out or doing so in public, and plenty of them might still like to have an all-male space. All-male social clubs would be cool, but some guys (like me) are shy and awkward and easily feel stressed being in places where socializing is implicitly expected. It'd be nice to have a ready option to occupy yourself solo at the club.

I think it'd be great to combine the two: an all-male gym that's also a social club. I've seen gyms that have bars serving alcohol in them. Part of the place could be a bar, and a fully-functioning gym could be the other part. You could work out and then go have a drink or maybe a meal.

A lot of guys socialize at the gym, anyway, but it's not always a welcome distraction. The other day in the locker room, I overheard a guy saying he'd started coming to that gym just because his other one had gotten too chatty; sometimes he just wanted to get a work out and be done, without having to stop and talk so much.

Plus, some men treat the locker room like a social club already, spending a long time there gabbing away with everyone who comes along. They tend to be older guys. Maybe they've had their fill of spending all their time with their wives and other married couples and the mixed-company at work. It shows how much they need a space to hang out with just the guys. It'd help to have a space there that's actually for that.

I tend to keep to myself at the gym. I was in an all-male choral singing group for a while, but I dropped out because there were always chunks of time set aside for socializing, and I felt too conspicuous sitting there timidly by myself while we were supposed to talking to each other. It'd be nice to have an environment of brotherhood where there was no pressure to chat yet still an opportunity for it. I might even be moved to open up a bit. No promises, but, hey. Maybe.

Nathaniel66 · 2022-07-08T09:22:28+00:00

No. I live in east Europe and we don't have issues with women like i read here. In fact, i can approach any girl in the gym, compliment her form/ body shape without being called a creep. In my lifting career i trained with random girls on one machine, spoke with them about their workouts/ diets, never had any problems, and i'm not 10/10 Chad.

I like it the way it is but reading horror stories from US/ Canada i'd surely want to have male only gym.

One_Day_Sober · 2022-07-08T06:23:00+00:00

In my gym, we have mixed sauna. But we have 1 day per week for only man, and one for only women. Finally I skip both because the man day at sauna feels like a weekly gay conference

PapaDrag0on · 2022-07-08T13:33:09+00:00

Fuck no, dude, I wanna meet girls

RatDontPanic · 2022-07-08T01:00:04+00:00

Nope, I don't need more gender exclusive shit.

MarsRisen · 2022-07-08T16:44:25+00:00

Only pussies need safe spaces. So nope and a hard pass. Let the feminists hide in their little closets from me.

Ridiculous. No male only and no female only. Just because there is this global anti-male attack called feminism, doesn´t mean that we shall low ourselves at their level. Both men and women should feel welcome wherever they want to go.

Sweaty-Landscape1112 · 2022-07-08T17:29:55+00:00

I would prefer individual places. I hate urinating in a toilet where there are other men visible

It’s kind of weird that there are so many comments about how men need to be free, which everyone should have freedom.. but to go on to then say how women try to control men, and then to follow that up by trying to control and say what kind of clothes a woman should wear. Who cares? Wear what you want. I don’t tell random men what to do, so don’t tell me what to do.

bionicmook · 2022-07-09T07:38:15+00:00

I’ve read a lot of these comments, and most of the male comments are claiming that all women say they don’t feel safe around them, but it’s the male comments that are repeatedly saying they don’t feel safe around women. For the record, as a female, I feel safe around nearly 100% of men. If women don’t feel safe around you, maybe look at yourself. If you don’t feel comfortable or safe around women, I don’t know what to tell you. Home gym?

Do you like the idea of having more male only spaces such as male only Gyms and would you attend them?
