Her Highness Easybreezy, in response to the muumuu article (666) asked:
“What about sports like tennis, skating, gymnastics, equestrian, etc in which women show legs, body etc in tight fitting uniforms?”
Don’t take anything below to suggest that women should not participate in sports or exercising. More should do so.
I will assume and address this situation: A guy tries to get to know a gal in or around her exercise or sports event.
· Let modesty be her guide. If she lacks it, she should invent some.
· Men love skimpy apparel, so get his mind off her body. She can’t do it associating in the near-buff.
· Keep him mentally off-balance. Smile and insist that he wait until she showers and dresses. Then they can chat.
· For the chat, keep herself business-like including an early departure. Make him wait until next time to get all his points across.
For women looking for a potential Mr. Right, much more is involved in projecting and protecting her interests while in high-level physical activity. But that’s for later articles 670 and 671.
Depending on the sport or exercise, always dress appropriately. I am a lifter and a sprinter/runner. What gymnasts wear would not be appropriate for me. I wear a plain old t-shirt and biker shorts or running pants. Gymnasts need more freedom of movement, which is why they wear the tights and leotards.
Those women that wear makeup and overly revealing getup at the gym are not serious about being there. To them it’s another pickup bar. People who are serious about fitness and going to the gym will look like total hell when they are finished with their training session. Tiny bra tops don’t offer enough support for exercise. The daring apparel are more appropriate for fitness supplement ads and fitness competitions, not for training.
Women shouldn’t let their guard down just because they are wearing more casual attire. If anything women should REALLY have their guard up. More skin is exposed, so males will be more emboldened in their advances. Treat working out like it’s a job and it will be easier to stay at the task at hand: sculpting and carving out a beautiful body. Don’t let others interrupt you, unless a fire breaks out or something like that.
In a gym setting, a woman’s main concern should be her workout, not a man. Get and use a iPod or other mp3 player. Having a pair of earphones sticking out of your ears is the universal “leave me alone” signal. The mp3 player doesn’t even have to be on. The presence of the earphones is enough. If AFTER you are finished and a guy wants to meet you, yeah, tell him to wait after you shower. If he really wants to meet you, he will wait. See making him wait as the first test of his patience and putting your wants first.
Excellent advice!
