Reply #11: I don't think it is at all [View All]

I know some women who have had a 'meat market' experience with gyms though I personally haven't. If I lived in a really hostile area I'd definitely be at a womens only gym. All the gyms I've been too are co-ed and I've not really had any problems. Now if I were small and the cultural definition of "hot/attractive" then maybe it would be different. Before reading the replies I didn't think about situations where women who have been traumatized would not want to work out in front of men.

Once I did have a guy tell me I should do different abdominal exercises "to get a smaller waist, since that's what you want." I told him I didn't care and he looked puzzled and asked "Are you sure?" I said "Yes" while laughing at him. My ideal response would be "I'll try to give a rats fucking ass what you think about my appearance and then consider your idea" but I didn't want to get attacked in the parking lot.
