Nubbins McGee Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Its all about your style and attitude: sweet muscles, teased hair, lots of Axe and bro shirts. Then when they are circled around you, you need to show indifference with "that's enough ladies, you've had your 5 minutes with Tyr." and then back to your workout. you will never have to settle for food as a reward again. I do it SO wrong. Long pants and a sweatshirt--either a hoodie with the hood up, or I wear a beanie-- every time. I don't do shorts, I don't do short sleeved shirts, If you could see my hair, it is too short to tease (much) and I sweat so much that I don't bother with Axe or anything else. I seriously dress like Rocky Balboa. No fingerless gloves, but otherwise, yeah. This is how I roll: 2 Did I offer advice in my post?

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 WTF is a mummer? The Philadelphia Mummer's Parade is an annual tradition. It's sort of like a New Year's day parade meets mardi-gras meets the circus. Each troupe does a themed performance in front of city hall. It's televised all day. My favorite are the string bands and fancies. Here's a a string band performance from this year, themed after Batman. 3 Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

Mark D Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Bro-shirt? Bah. Proper work-out attire for REAL men: Old worn out (100% cotton) t-shirt. Bonus points if it has a pocket. Holes optional. Champion brand shorts or (if it's deadlift day) sweat pants. Extra points if the color clashes with that of the t-shirt. Basic white crew socks and tighty-whitey's. Chuck Taylor all-stars in black or white. Maybe red if you can prove they were on sale and/or you have an unusual size so you could claim those were the only ones that fit. If a woman is willing to get within 10 feet of you right after a work-out, she's either got a SERIOUS sweat fetish (I've heard of women like that) or you're not working hard enough. 7 My character: https://www.nerdfitness.com/character/58572/ Current Challenge:http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/83683-mark-d-walks-up-to-a-barbell/ Previous Challenges: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Link to comment

Silo Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I have the gym that doesn't allow tank tops and sleeveless tops at all. No bro tanks, no sports bras on their own, nada. The general uniform for guys is a t-shirt and basketball shorts. For women, capris (almost always black) and some sort of t-shirt. There are two women who wear capris with cut outs up the side and I have no problem with it but it always strikes me as funny that they show more skin doing that than I think most people would while wearing a tank. 1 2016 goals: Hit goal weight.
