I’m a gym girl – I always get asked the same questions by men while working out, but people say it’s ‘all in my head’
ONE dedicated gym girl has exposed the blunt commentary she receives from men while working out.
She has admitted to being asked the same questions, but people doubt her story.
YouTuber Clara Dao (@ClaraDao) posted a video to discuss her interactions with other gym-goers and her responses.
She walked in front of the locker room mirror before heading into the main exercise facility.
“POV: Working out at the gym as a girl,” her caption read.
“You got this,” Clara mouthed to herself.
She started at the weight rack, lifting one free weight in each hand.
The caption switched: “Bruh, check this girl out.” This a common remark Clara gets from the men around her.
But they won’t stop there. They’ll rhetorically ask: “Where’s her booty, though?
“She needs to start doing squats.”
Clara moved away from the weights to look at her behind in the mirror.
Men will continue to comment on her fitness abilities. They say: “Lol, she can’t even use the machine properly.”
And their persistence never ends. They will ask if she’s seeing anyone, and when she says she isn’t interested, they ask if they can get her number.
Clara has to tell them again she’s not interested. Their response is usually: “Your loss. You ain’t all that anyways.”
Additionally, people will try subtly commenting on her body weight by saying: “I know a protein shake that’ll help you bulk up.”
Clara will say “no” before they reply: “Are you sure? Looks like you need it. Bro, look at her chest. It’s so flat.”
After that, it’s time for Clara to go.
Viewers expressed empathy and doubt, but over 15,000 people wrote their thoughts.
An experienced individual admitted: “As an introvert, the gym is the most peaceful public place I’ve been to because no one talks to each other, lol.”
“Pov: Your inner voice! People at the gym: minding their own business,” a critic commented.
“Girl, it’s okay. We are all sadly like this, BUT YOU GIVE US SO MUCH INSPIRATION,” a woman remarked.
But another apprehensive viewer disagreed: “She is making us think that gym people are actually judging others the whole time.”
