Makeup at the gym?

it would be odd to go out of your way to apply make up when you're just going to the gym...but whatever makes you feel good.

i cant judge because i always put hair product in whenever i leave the house . . . even the gym and uni...and there is no one to impress in my degree as its 90% male dominated.
 
Haha, eww. If I've had make-up on during the day because I've gone out or to work etc, I go to the effort to take it OFF before working out! If you exercise hard you're likely to end up looking worse wearing make-up than not wearing it. Sweaty foundation & panda-eyes is not a good look in my opinion :P And doesn't your towel end up looking kinda like your skin has wiped off onto it?!
 
I have always said, you are not there to look pretty.

But hey that's my opinion & sooooo many others disagree. Whatever makes you feel good I suppose.

I am quite pedantic about my hair on most occasions but can't stand hair product in my hair at the gym. When i forget about it and head to the gym with it in i soon know about it as it makes its way into my eyes and proceeds to sting (my eyes are watering as i think about it) i don't put much in either. Your not sweating enough.. not enough effort! :p

Chussen, who ever says that a woman has to wear makeup to look pretty? Not this man right here.

Women ARE beautiful. Period!

Thank you Fadi!

I never wore makeup. Last time I did was for my wedding and I looked like a completely different person, lol. So there's no way I'd be wearing makeup to the gym...
 
if nobody ever see's u without makeup then nobody has ever seen the real u! ur basically living a lie, just like getting fake boobs.

hahahahahahahahahahaha

I heard a guy say something like this:

I like (the look above) - just like bed hair.

A mix of these, the sounds a girl makes and the look on a girls face after a time challenge on the rower on a high setting (or something similar).

Think of another situation she would look, sound and act the same?
 
When I trained at gyms, I never saw females; just another person who shared my passion, no more and no less really.

Oh, I see women, alright. When I walk in the door the treadmills are facing away from me, as I walk past them to the weights section just at eye level I see... well... there's no makeup on that part :cool:

Hey, I'm faithful, not blind.

But after that first look, they're just another person training. Unfortunately, like most of the guys, they're not too sure what they're doing. Endless reps of 6 inch range of motion on the leg press, they get more resistance on the bike. Heaps of cardio stuff.

It's a pity, I see quite a few with good bone structure and basic muscle mass, they could have really amazing physiques and impressive strength if they adjusted their workouts a bit.

Lots of waste of the men's potential, too - endless sets of bicep curls and Smith machine benches.
 
same here Fadi they are people too. I always make sure i talk to them though not being rude of course just a bit of friendly chit chat :)
 
i personally don't think make up at the gym in neccessary, but i do understand why women do wear make up at the gym, but not just at gym its apart of their lives. I don't wear make up unless im going out somewhere special. But that's just me. Plus imagine how clogged your pores would be and how bad your skin would become. hmm..
 
If a man does not need and does not wear make up, can someone explain the logic behind a woman doing so? I personally find none. However I'm open for someone to persuade me otherwise, so go for it...

Come over here Fadi and you`ll see guys wearing make up.
Very subtle of course but it`s there:eek:
