wearing short shorts to the gym even after being asked to stop?
So I am a big guy. I workout daily. I go to three gyms regularly. I wear and have worn short shorts, like those FBT shorts, like those you wear in the army.
I usually get attention for this, but it’s usually just old men that roll their eyes. Occasionally women stare. Nothing out of control. I’ve been doing it for years.
Well recently a woman joined my gym that seems obsessed with my legs. She will walk over everytime she sees me.
Well her husband came with her the other day. He proceeded to have a mental breakdown over his wife talking to me.
He came over and asked if I thought my shorts were appropriate. I responded by asking him not to objectfy me for being beutiful. Which made him very mad.
Staff got involved and asked me to cover up for a little while. I said sure. So the next day I came in smaller shorts but with a long sleeve shirt. He was with her and lost his mind.
When staff came again to talk to me. I said I had been working out like this here for years. I’ve also seen women wear a hell of a lot less. So I would not be changing anytime soon. Which they just shrugged at.

- Next time they bother you about it, ask them for a copy of the dress code in the contact you signed when you joined so you can review it together to fully understand what the policy says.
Then inform them that you’ll be filing a complaint against the husband and the employees for harassment. - Next time they ask you to cover up, show up in a ski mask, long sleeves, and even shorter shorts.
- You’re allowed to wear whatever you want. Clearly the boyfriend was jealous of you and the attention his girlfriend was giving you. I’d keep doing you, my guy. Who gives a f what others think. You’re not hurting anyone. If he doesn’t wanna see it or doesn’t want his girlfriend to see it, then they can go to a different gym or go at a different time
