To look good, women mostly need to lose fat and don’t have to gain muscle, so they don’t need the same level of equipment. Losing fat is mostly about diet, so it’s enough for the younger ones to just watch what they eat and have a cardio machine at home, or run around their nieghborhood. That I think is why there are a lot more hot women out there than hot female gym members.

As a member of a busy PF in flyoverland, let me say that hotties are few and far between. I’d guess that attendees (as opposed to membership) run about 60:40 male, and, of the women I see, 85% of them need to lose some weight.

On the point of men being, on the whole, in much better physical condition than the women at the gym – this is true in spades. It is rare for me to see a superfit-looking woman at my gym that’s over the age of 22.

Sadly, with the obesity epidemic being what it is, women just don’t have to try very hard. With all the fatties out there, even frumpy average build women (by American standards) get plenty of male attention; hell, a naturally slim woman can be a snaggletoothed chainsmoking skank and still get hit on heavily, owing to the relative scarcity of slender women hereabouts.

So, the hotties are all going to Curves and Planet Fitness? What happened to the women that used to come to the gym to ogle? Or was that just a legend and never true?

When I read the books of old time strong men, I get the impression that the gyms were pretty much “men only”. Saxon, Calvert, Jowett, etc.

It’s sad that our modern culture makes this artificial separation between being smart and being strong.

If you look at the ancient Romans and Greeks they appreciated you could and should be develop your mind as well as your body.
