I'm sorry for dragging this up again but Alex hit on exactly what I meant.

So, if you dress up for the gym don't do it because you're afraid of what all the muscly men will think. I have no idea if the other women are paying more attention.
I'll admit to an initial impulse to point and laugh a little but then I thought "hey, at least she's out there running. "
Honestly, among the fittest members of the gym I found this to be the almost universal attitude. "At least s/he's here and I hope she sticks with it. Good for him/her."
Here's why I cringed whenever a woman in full make-up came in. Not because she was made-up but because I knew there was a 50% chance she wouldn't use towels and I'd be wiping face make-up off various machines before I could use them.

This is what I wanted to know. If my wearing black whatever pants with t's or tank tops puts out that I don't care about my workout. Comparing it to dressing appropriately for 'work'.
And, I do try to look my best always, but, not to the point where I get 'dolled up' to work out. I think you can look good without being 'done'.
Also, I give everyone good mojo for being out there and doing it.
And, sweat on the equipment is gross.
Back to the topic, I don't judge people by what they spend on anything, be it a little or a lot. That is their business. Mine is mine. My opinion was that I wouldn't spend that much for a t-shirt. I didn't dig on the location of their display but I understand they wanted them out there to catch everyones attention. Again, I am thinking from a parents point of view. People here are thinking from their own standards, probably not in having a whiney teenager wanting one. I wouldn't get them one either. But, my kids ask for electronics, not clothing.
LOL Well, while that is cute about wanting to remove the clothing off of your hot one, back to Lisa saying 'I dress for myself' I would definitely expect someone to have patience while I enjoyed it on me for a while first...
Was that post all over?
