The article would work better with a title like " Why yoga pants are bad for me". I thought this was going to be about germs growing on the crotch area of these pants or something instead of some self conscious woman going on about how nobody wears sweatpants anymore. We love sweatpants.
Anyways, I've noticed a lot of self conscious women tend to write articles/post statuses about something they are going through and then try to preach about it to all women. It normally starts with an experience they just had followed by their magnificent realization and deep thoughts with something like this to close it off:
- So step into some slouchy pants with me. We don’t have to look quite so good when we’re just trying to look a little better
Read: Join me in doing this because I can't actually just focus on myself and I need validation.
I'm ugly. It's not that big a deal, but that is a statement of reality. Having said that I would never be able to write an article that amounts to "I look like shit in a muscle shirt ergo ban muscle shirts."
I go to the gym so I don't die at 60. Shut the fuck up and sweat or go home.
I like wearing compression boxer briefs when I’m working out my legs because it creates a positive feedback loop. It’s easier to discern when I’m contracting a compressed muscle. My girlfriend has told me this argument extends to yoga pants.
No one I know really cares what anyone else wears to the gym. So it’s especially weird to give a loud mouthpiece to someone railing against something with utility.
One more thing: yoga pants do not “reveal every dimple and contour of imperfection”, or whatever the exact quote was.
What's really funny is that this is New York bitching about yoga pants. Out here on the left coast we went from yoga pants to leggings like four years ago. Now nobody is even pretending to wear their yoga pants for working out. They wear shit that makes them look good.
My wife, professionally, wears dress yoga pants pretty much every.single.day. You know why girls wear yoga pants? Because the number of women who look great in yoga pants is far greater than the number of women who look great in jeans, and the number of women who are comfortable in yoga pants is far greater than the number who are comfortable in jeans.
