There are a good handful of reasons why I have a hard time dragging myself to the gym every evening. I’m tired, I’ve had a really long day, and I know that I’m going to be ogled by more than one guy. It may be flattering the first time, but by the end of the night, it’s straight up uncomfortable to work out. I feel like I can’t squat without you fellas eye-f*cking my ass.
Here are 30 thoughts that run through every girl’s head when she runs to the gym:
- Okay, do I wear the cute shorts and cut-out tank that shows off my new sports bra? Hell yes.
- Wait. No. Way too many guys. Ew.
- Ugh, but I want to look cute.
- Screw it. I’m wearing it. I have to look cuter than the rest of the girls. It’s an unspoken rule.
- Why do all the guys here look like they’d want me to call them “daddy”?
- Put on a shirt.
- Whatever, I’m here to work out.
- Holy crap, I’m out of shape. I need to come in more often.
- Why do I never work out? I am dying.
- Man, I love these reverse leg curls. My booty is gonna be so – how long has that guy been looking at me?
- Okay, I’ll just pull out my phone and pretend to text someone until he looks away.
- Okay, only one more rep, I don’t want that to happen again.
- Hello squats, goodbye saddlebags.
- Why are these guys looking at me like I can’t handle my weights? I can handle my weights.
- Yeah, look surprised.
- Damn my ass looks fine.
- No, please stop. Stop staring.
- Now you’ve ruined my form, because I’m focusing on the fact that you’re staring into my soul. Through my butt.
- Fine, whatever, I’ll just go do cardio.
- There are 70 ellipticals in this gym, and 90% of them are empty. So why do guys feel the need to come be on the one close to me?
- Please stop looking at my boobs.
- Okay fine, my workout is over.
- There aren’t any guys in the cool down area. Score. Now my ass will be oggle-free.
- No. No. Leave. This is a girl-only gym.
- Hey, that’s a golden idea. Why don’t they have girl-only gyms?
- Not that I’m sexist. But ya’ll are staring down my shirt.
- Okay, are my pants SEE THROUGH? That’s the only reason you’d be allowed to stare at my ass this much.
- Fine, I guess I’m done stretching.
- Asshole.
- I’m working out at home tomorrow.
I know that this doesn’t happen every single time we go to the gym ladies. But, let’s be real. It happens more often than we’d like. And even if you’re wearing the baggiest of T-shirts and sweats, some guy is bound to be staring and some sort of exercise will make it tight against something I don’t like. Plus, why on earth do I want to be forced to dress ugly to go to the gym? I’m doing this for me, not for the guys.
Guys, keep your eyes to yourself at the gym. Your little shorts aren’t helping you hide your boner.

Wow this article couldn’t be more sexist. Get over yourself because not as many guys are looking at you as you think.
I’m just saying I’m a guy and when I go to the gym it’s to exercise. Straight up. You probably assume that guys go there just to stare at woman and if you even catch a guy looking at you you just assume he’s a disgusting pervert. It’s not fair to take out your insecurities against the other sex on the Internet.

I agree with the first comment that when I go to the gym I am focused on bettering myself.. not on boys or looking cute! Boys and girls both have other things on their minds sometimes!
And girls don’t look at guys?
It’s way easier to change the way you think about it rather than worrying about what other people are doing. Stay focused on the fitness goal, knowing that people admire you for that which they think they can never have.
hahaha! Don’t flatter yourself. When I am at the gym I never look at girls.
“Ewwhh don’t look at me, ” simultaneously judging guys look like they want you to “call them daddy.” Meanwhile you’re wearing yoga pants that form around every crease, and stretch to transparency with the slightest movement.. all while coincidently performing only the prone or bent exercises
Those are very interesting ideas. I love it and will use it soon!
It may come as a surprise to the writer but some dudes actually go to the gym to you know..exercise. And I’ve seen plenty of dudes at the gym that spend more time flexing and staring at themselves while at the gym. This chick is a bit into herself.
