There is a simple answer to that question, which you have already provided - if you wear a bikini when you work out, you want guys to look at you. If you have the body to do so - rock on. I never claimed that dressing in a revealing manner meant you wanted sex from whomever was checking you out. Only direct correlation I made was the "I want to be looked at" part.
That is a fair answer.
But you do realize that I train IN A SWIMMING POOL, right?
Would I wear the bikini on the gym floor? Ummm no. It is inappropriate and would make me uncomfortable. I don't even like to wear shorts to be honest because even though I HATE to cover my legs (they are still damned fine) I hate it more when I stick to the equipment.
There was a day when I *first got* my hot body that I would wear very VERY revealing outfits in the gym. Why? Because I COULD. I worked hard to get that body and I was damned proud of it. I was married then too. Matter of fact even after I split from my exhusband I never EVER again dated a dude from the gym. NEVER... I've been training for over 20 years and the last thing I need is to have my personal business spread all over a room full of meatheads. LOL
All I ask is that the men realize that just because THEY THINK a woman is *this way* or *that way* that doesn't make what they think real.
Dudes, if there is a scantilly clad hottie bending over in front of you doing bent over rows or just stretching her hamstrings then for fuck's sake be discreet and keep your fantasies to yourself. Chances are, she won't even know you exist, no matter how great a gift from the gods to womankind you are.
If ya'll wanna bend over in front of me all sweaty and veiny, grunting with no shirt wearing tight little shorty-shorts pumped till you feel like your skin is ripping, believe you me, I will gawk in the most respectfull fashion. Best of all, you'll never even see me doing it.
...and I won't think any less of you. Hell, I'll most likely forget you are there by the time I have to do my next set.
Nothing disrespectfull to the men, just pointing out how differently men and women react to the identical stimulus.
