Gym-Goer's Athletic Wear Is Wearing Thin
Dear Abby | September 17th, 2025 | Letter 2 of 2
DEAR ABBY: My fitness center has three rows of treadmills and ellipticals. One woman usually selects the front row. Like many in the gym, she wears tight leggings, which is fine. However, hers are stretched so thin across her buttocks that the fabric is semi-transparent. Although this is unsightly, it is not a huge deal to me, and I simply don't look her way. I wonder, though, if folks would generally prefer that someone gently mention tricky issues like this to them. It reminds me of seeing someone with toilet paper stuck on a shoe or a skirt hem stuck in the waistline. -- LOOKING THE OTHER WAY.
DEAR LOOKING: I'm glad you asked before trying to be helpful. In a case like this, it would be better to keep looking the other way rather than address your fellow gym rat. I don't know what the dress code may be at your gym, but if you have a question about it, you should ask the manager.
