THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT
Women, if You Don’t Want Attention From Random Men, Don’t Bare Your Ass at the Gym
There’s a time and place for “in your face”
Warning: The following may trigger a myriad of emotions such as hostility, outrage, and deep denial.
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, a young woman, early twenties maybe, flounces by you at the gym on her way to the restroom, and your eyes, like a guided missile, immediately home in on her ass.
Why? Because, for half a second, it looked as if the chick wasn’t wearing any pants. I hardly have the words to articulate what I saw.
Now, I’m not into women’s asses, but I’m also not used to seeing a perfect outline of butt cheeks and crack in a public setting, hence the rubber neck.
I’m also not a prude, as those of you who read me, all three of you, are aware. With that, though, I can’t help wondering what this young woman was thinking when she got dressed to work out.
This was not a “one and done” as I’ve seen several women wearing similar garb while breaking a sweat.
This is how I prepare for the gym: I wear Capri-length yoga pants, a T-shirt, and minimal makeup, and I claw-clip my hair in a messy updo. Not sexy…
