New to gym culture: should I ignore or abide by the double standards in gym wear?
The answerer who said this is a stupid question is very insensitive. Our western culture seems to revolve around looks and fashion and a lot of peope don’t like to buck the trend especially if they’re new to the particular environment – as in indeed our asker is here. To Nixon, I would say, wear whatever you want. Most people in the gym aren’t interested despite what you might think. Those who are interested either are interested in a negative way, in which case ignore them. Or in a positive way, in which case, you are being admired for your looks/dress, so lap it up!
