WHY are Males?

justadeer01 · 2021-03-25T21:28:12+00:00

In South Korea, phones must have the photo shutter sound on because men taking photos of women secretly is a big issue there. I think they should implement that everywhere honestly

There is an "Iron Gym" in my town. There was a branch strictly for women. "Iron Gym for women." It cost more than the regular one but offered classes like yoga and pilates. The regular one doesn't.

I go to the regular one. Full of bros and IG fitness babes. Everyone stick to themselves and focuses on themselves. And from what I've heard the bros don't grunt and throw things down like the ones at Max Fitness (never been so wouldn't know). I've had some guys come up and talk to me/ give me pointers but that was it. Usually everyone does their own thing and leave.

That's how a Gym is suppose to be. Mind your damn business.

curiouskait999 · 2021-03-25T21:09:37+00:00

I experienced this when I WORKED at a gym. Was busy racking some random guy’s weights and in front of me was a mirror. I looked in the mirror as I was standing up and lo and behold a man in his 60s is taking a picture of me as I’m bent over. Only reason I noticed he was taking a pic is because he forgot to turn his flash off. I was newly 18, working alone, and was way too scared to call him out with no one there to back me up.

zorra666 · 2021-03-25T20:22:00+00:00

I stopped going to gyms because of so much nonsense but, a few years ago, I signed up at a community gym near my previous house.

I would go in early in the morning to avoid scrotes and discovered that the gym was overtaken by....nuns! All of them over 70 (and stronger than me🤣). It was great! We would even relax in the whirlpool after and chat. I got into great shape and it was wonderful.

Fkthekirit · 2021-03-25T21:16:02+00:00

You should have told him you’re taking his picture too and the cops will easily identify him from the distinctive man boobs!

ChristineSom · 2021-03-25T19:54:39+00:00

Yep. Two men have exposed themselves in front me at the gym in the past year alone. Not accounted for: the countless times I have been followed through the gym, leered at for minutes at a time etc.

dembar126 · 2021-03-25T19:45:40+00:00

More than enough porn available for them to ever watch in their lifetimes and it isn't enough for them. They want every woman in existence to be masturbatory material. The entitlement is fucking insane.

I could care less about seeing a gut here and there in the wild....just stop staring at me, assholes. That's why I love yoga classes. Scotes think it's too feminine to join in, and woke bros join but realize they have to try harder since flexibility is more of a female attribute, and they tend to quit.

StalkerPoetess · 2021-03-25T21:41:01+00:00

Gotta thank God for my religious country actually having female only gyms. I may dislike a lot of stuff about this country of mine and I'm grateful I never had to be afraid of being filmed at the gym. This is depraved.

Even with the staff you aren’t safe, first and last gym I ever signed up for the man kept my number and texted me daily and would harass me when I came in. I’d looove an all women’s gym soo much.

BBQCoolRanchQueen · 2021-03-25T20:23:07+00:00

I'm willing to bet he's just sitting on the equipment not using it. Fucking gross pot bellied scrote.

Access to literally hundreds of videos, still chooses to do this. Not that I support porn, it's just gross that a man who doesn't care about the harmful effects of porn would choose to do this anyway.

RedPlanit · 2021-03-25T21:18:30+00:00

THIS! I went to PF yesterday and was using the hip adductor machine. I began to notice that any time I looked to the side during my rest sets, a middle aged man was watching me intently. Any time I happened to glance in that direction we would lock eyes.

I moved machines, and he conveniently moved machines as well to one that was across from me and just kept staring at me! I moved machines again, and he repeated the same process and maintained the creepy eye contact and staring. I was so freaked out that I went to the first floor to get away from him.

LavaDogged · 2021-03-25T23:41:27+00:00

The saddest part about this is that it’s planet fitness, where if the female reported his behavior she would be banned for wearing shorts.

IndividualRoutine661 · 2021-03-25T20:02:42+00:00

I much prefer an all female environment, men are all grungy and stinky at the gym even when they aren’t deviants. It’s quite off putting

stinkylittlecat · 2021-03-25T21:29:16+00:00

This scares me. Ever since gyms reopened I’ve been worried about this. Sometimes when you’re squatting you can feel the eyes glaring. It’s honestly distracting, especially when I’m trying really hard to achieve a goal/reach a new weight lifted.

Yeah, I like to workout you fucking scrotes. You don’t see me taking sneaky photos of you doing a workout. It’s disgusting.

alien665 · 2021-03-25T21:29:01+00:00

This is why I stoped going to my last gym 😡😡😡

HottPinkSlug · 2021-03-26T00:24:40+00:00

Someone filmed me at the gym once. It was awful and violating and there was a whole big scene.
Then, when I got home and told the story to my SO, he just brushed it off with a, 'why were you so mad? He thought you were hot'. God, I hate that guy.

fashiong99 · 2021-03-25T19:30:18+00:00

Creep, honestly men are such a creep

Hedy__Lamarr · 2021-03-25T20:37:28+00:00

99% of men who use gyms fall into one or more categories:

Creep and spy on women
Sweat all over the machines/benches and never clean them
Never re-rack their weights, leaving them for everyone else to either trip over or remove before you can use the bench

Very few men treat the people and the equipment at the gym with respect. In other words, they act the same way at the gym as they do at home. Probably another way to vet a man while dating. 🤣 Does he clean up after himself? Does he stare at other women? Is he willing to listen to advice or otherwise accept help from a woman at the gym?

When I still used the gym I went at slow times (weekdays after 8pm and weekends after 3pm) to avoid as many men as possible. Or I did group classes with mostly women (yoga, pilates, kickboxing). Now I get most of my exercise outside or using my home gym.

Apricot_Ibex · 2021-03-25T21:48:58+00:00

I gave up on going to my little apartment gym alone because of this shit. And the “stop dressing slutty” male brigade can STFU. My friend was leered at while in hijab and loose jogging clothes and said she’d never go to the gym alone again either.

An old man grabbed my elbow without permission and told me I was using a machine wrong and was going to “help” teach me...I hadn’t even started using it yet. He wasn’t even working out! He was eating a sandwich and talking on the phone when I came in.

He didn’t take me seriously when I moved away from him until my now-husband showed up; then I guess he thought, oh, she is some man’s property. 🙄 He kept questioning if my husband is my personal trainer...seems he couldn’t believe he was my BF, maybe because we’re an interracial couple...who knows? But regardless, the old creep only left me alone because of another man’s presence. Disgusting. When I left, he was slamming weights down and making a racket on the floor, which was above the manager’s office. I reported his scrotatious behavior to them because I knew they had banned another guy for inappropriately touching their staff. Yes, men actually go to the gym and try to grope the apartment staff in front of everyone, usually by asking for “hugs.”

CloacaDiddler · 2021-03-26T02:22:21+00:00

Male behavior is abhorrent. If they act like mindless, mannerless, depraved creatures, why should we treat them any different? It fills me with rage to see how many women in this thread have suffered disgusting male behavior while trying to work out. Why don’t they get it?? We don’t exist for their enjoyment in fact, most women would probably be happy to only interact with men once every Thursday, provided they were in a safety box with a leash.

Lost_Kale90 · 2021-03-25T20:04:27+00:00

Disgusting.

big_moody · 2021-03-25T22:29:43+00:00

I live in the Netherlands and I go to an all female gym! It’s so much better because there are no creepy guys. Also it’s nice for women that wear hijabs because they can workout without them.

2021-03-25T22:09:39+00:00

Hey, you summed up why I don't go to gyms.

vagesta · 2021-03-25T22:59:59+00:00

Sometimes even female only gyms don’t stop creeps. I was taking a women’s self defense class and a homeless man went up to the window and started touching himself while we were stretching. Watching us. I’m not sure I was the only one that noticed but I let some employees at the shopping center know after I was finished with class.

I thought I was in a safe space because the class was all women but creeps will still try to invade our spaces.

I used to also go to a local gym that had a small women’s workout area, thats one of the reasons why I joined. But when men would workout in the area no one said anything and the rules weren’t enforced. Sometimes I’d see them staring at women while they did their squats. Men ignored the signs that said women only.

It didn’t matter that the gym was huge, had tons of equipment and was 2 stories with tons of male dominated space and better equipment. Men still felt the need to be in the small room just for women.

There was also a time when I was at that gym and was about to get dressed in the locker room. The women’s locker room. I overheard a man talking to his female friend. A man was literally in the women’s locker room like it was nothing.

ForeverHoney · 2021-03-25T22:02:36+00:00

I never felt comfortable in a gym, even with my xxxl t shirts that covered everything

pascalines · 2021-03-26T00:48:48+00:00

I would LOVE an all female gym. Fuck I wish that was a thing.

Dazzling_Moose_6575 · 2021-03-25T20:32:32+00:00

This is why I haven't gone back to the gym, I don't have the energy to deal with this stuff.

ComfortableHead3 · 2021-03-25T23:01:54+00:00

At first, I was like - huh? Then understanding landed. Followed by visceral rage.

eatchickpeas · 2021-03-26T03:41:34+00:00

men only do this because they enjoy the thrill of violating a woman's privacy or feeling some sort of perverse connection with a woman in their lives. they could enjoy photos of women online, the internet is full of stuff catering for these freaks but they STILL keep doing this in gyms

2021-03-25T22:14:59+00:00

This makes me miss the old gym I use to travel to every day. Unfortunately, that gym is closed, because it's made up of approximately 95% old people hahaha (and you know gyms can't risk it out here). It's just sad I have to go to a crusty gym that looks just LIKE THE PICTURE!

Such is life.

TwirlingSquirrel · 2021-03-25T23:43:37+00:00

Look at his dusty ass elbow, he looks unkempt in addition to being a perv

Saitschik · 2021-03-26T08:48:31+00:00

I tried the gym a few times. Stares, random guys mansplaining how I have to do my workout and hitting on me and asking for my number when I was clearly only minding my own business are just some of the things that happened.

Plus I was harassed on the way TO the gym various times when I wore leggings.

All female gyms are desperately needed.

abstractsadgurl · 2021-03-25T23:21:42+00:00

I never felt comfortable at gyms. This makes sense now 🤢

rwilkz · 2021-03-26T01:17:01+00:00

I know we all love a good "public freakout" video but at this point I wish they would just nix the "its legal to film/photograph people in public without their consent" thing

everythingandlove · 2021-03-25T21:55:12+00:00

Oh yuck... I was just heading there 😭

simplicityduplicity · 2021-03-26T01:02:20+00:00

And this is exactly why I either workout from home or go before the crack of dawn. The gym is riddled with perverts and predators everywhere.

3lbsofjewelry · 2021-03-26T05:21:17+00:00

I had some fucking creep record me at the gym, and I only found out because this guy and his girlfriend came up and told me (bless them). And now I work out at home.

electroloop · 2021-03-26T17:22:12+00:00

Lol really? 37 reports, and the most popular report for this post is "It's promoting hate based on identity or vulnerability."

Nice try, scrotes. Stay mad. So now you're literally defending a sexual predator who could be taking photos of literally anyone for nefarious purposes aka j*rking off his 2 inch pp that's concealed by his gut.

NAMALT indeed.

Thankfully I actually do have female only gyms available to me where I live. If I go back to the gym after covid it’s going to be to one of those.

getlowpapoose · 2021-03-26T12:50:01+00:00

I joined an all-female gym during my time at university and LOVED it. I’d never been so dedicated to working out and I managed to run a 5k from being a couch potato! I was surprised at what I could achieve without the feeling of being self-conscious. Unfortunately I moved from the area and there are no all-female gyms near my home, and I haven’t worked out that much since :(

cakeandtart · 2021-03-26T00:59:32+00:00

Aaaaand this is why I don't go to the gym. It's infuriating because I want to be able to work out, but I just don't feel safe or comfortable at all around all the strange men.

Big-Respond8481 · 2021-03-26T22:06:31+00:00

We have to make it a habit to confront these assholes. We should post their pictures with their faces and our insta convos with them and their disgusting comments from social media with their names. We should act as if we record them and yell and shout with all of our voice at them when they catcall us on a safe, busy street (but as always, safety first, never confront if it seems in any way unsafe). I hate that degenerates are not even scared about their public image because no one cares about what they do.

oscine23 · 2021-05-04T16:45:53+00:00

I've been interrupted midset WITH HEADPHONES ON so many times by men trying to get a date. Fkn annoying.

SadPersonality8576 · 2021-03-25T21:11:24+00:00

I love the gym, I love the health benefits regular weightlifting gives me, I am built for that type of exercise. It would be nice if there was a women's only weightlifting room available. It's tiresome to have to keep asking gym staff to instruct scrotes not to walk past my behind while I am doing straight leg deadlifts. Their casual, "pretend they're not aware they're doing it" harassment ruins everything.

2021-03-26T13:21:46+00:00

The gym i go to has a women's only section. That being said, 1. They have no way to actually enforce that and 2. It's literally a qaurter of the size of the men's weight lifting section. There's a squat machine, that machine were you spread your legs to push the weight, and one weight rack that stops at 15.

I need to find a new gym.

greenetea63 · 2021-03-26T16:26:27+00:00

breadandbunny · 2021-05-09T18:25:14+00:00

Fkthekirit · 2021-03-26T00:14:17+00:00

Going on a tangent here but is it me or is that vertical line down those black sweatpants such a signature scrote staple?

Pinkbebe666 · 2021-03-25T21:50:06+00:00

This is why I dress like a bum at the gym, I used to enjoy dressing nice and wearing matching athletic wear but it only gets their attention more. So now I wear baggy men’s sweat pants and oversized tshirts. 🙄😒

pinkakio · 2021-03-26T10:46:31+00:00

You can never know in how many creep shots you are nowadays.. 🤮🤮😭
