A dude doing deadlifts is cool. A woman it’s pretty much always sexual. That’s why they get so many viewers. It’s pervos on YouTube or TikTok wanting to see their spandex clad fannies doing squats. There’s no other reason for lululemon than flagrant sexual exhibitionism. It’s easier to work out with loose fitting clothes.

Athleisure clothes are absolutely comfortable. It is insane to say that entire brand is only for sexual exhibitionism. Lol

Their clothes are also extremely well made and have outlasted similar Puma, Nike, Adidas pairs.

Women I’ve known and talked to have told me that baggy sweats and flannel pajamas bottoms are “comfy.”

Nobody comes home after a hard day and puts on lululemon to go to bed, or sit on the couch and watch movies. Baggy sweats are the opposite of lululemon; cheap, loose fitting, comfortable.

Women want to look good. There’s nothing wrong with that. Men do too. It’s ok to admit it.

I’ve seen women who could deadlift impressive amounts of weight (more than I was able to when I first started), and it definitely wasn’t sexual. But they had professional trainers that were actually giving them correct advice on how to properly lift without hurting themselves. As I mentioned in my original comment, it really depends on the gym and the type of patrons it attracts. In my experience, an LA Fitness (or something like it) might attract that hookup/tiktok/softporn crowd, but a private gym with a dedicated purpose wouldn’t tolerate that kind of thing.
