a little put off, a little fun
For Men at the Gym, It’s Step, Step, Step, Panic! - New York Times
i’ve not done any aerobics classes in my life ever. but a few years ago i DID go to my first yoga class. i was one of only 3 guys there and the only one under 35 by a large margin. it was a little off-putting being the only young guy in a room with women of all ages (including some very attractive ones). but at the same time is was nice to have tons of eye candy, though discretion is obviously key. and admittedly i didn’t do much looking because (1) it’s a workout/meditation thing and you shouldn’t do anything to make people feel uncomfortable, (2) to me, workouts are not pick up opportunities (at least not yet); and (3) hard to concentrate on women when you are being contorted into various positions each more painful than the last.
but it wasn’t that bad. of course it was in a private yoga studio and not some big glass walled room in a gym.
