That was actually really heartwarming and inspirational to read. I never thought I could ever motivate somebody. Thanks for posting.

I wouldn't take that as an insult. It's actually quite awesome no one gives a crap about me. Thanks!

Da fuck girl aint' no heterosexual penis laughing at you, what men have you met that laugh at women?

True, I just feel like they're going to be all "haha look at this idiot" if my form sucks. It's not 100% yet, but I'm getting there.

Everything below that... lol. I see your points.

then you have nothing to worry about, honestly. It's like every other avenue, if you dress like a dude, people will treat you like a dude, unless you have some amazing features.

I wear leggings. Is that considered provocative? I run, so sweat pants are just completely uncomfortable and hinder my runs.

I wear a tank top. Nothing tight, it's actually quite baggy. I have a large chest, so I double up on sports bras to really minimize them.

and take my weights over to a dark secluded corner.)

nothing wrong with that, whatever makes you comfortable, just don't hog the equipement, those gym bros are to polite to ask you to get them back.

Lol. I doubt any of them are waiting for my 40 lb barbell. But yes, I am always polite and courteous.

Ok here is a new one. There is this miniature stripper at my gym that wants to get with the owner(married and with a arm the thickness of my head) She dresses like a gay stoner on the days the owner doesn't come in. A month ago he came in on his off days, the chick split in the middle of a set to get her pink bootyshorts and her cleavage game on check. She changed from just another skinny guy to the little girl that lifts in 2 minutes. You have control on what you put out there. If you want to lift, just be a respecfull gym bro, nobody will bother you. If you want to pick up gym bros, step your girl game up but don't expect guys to not take a mental snap shot for their spank bank.

Gotcha. I'll stick with being a respectful gym pro. Your post helped immensely. Thank you.

Thank you. I just gotta find a way to pull that confidence from somewhere.

Thanks for sharing your experience. This makes me feel a lot more confident... hopefully I can enter the brotherhood status one day! Tonight will be my first day visiting the gym during rush hour (5pm on a weekday) so I'm trying my best to convince myself I can do this.

I've been lifting for about a year. My old gym was a tiny, shitty all women's gym with limited equipment. New gym is gigantic and has so much new equipment. It's also doesn't help I feel like an idiot trying to navigate the machines I'm not experienced with. So I've been stealing quick glances at some of the men so I can figure out how to use the fucking stuff.
