Why Would You Wear Sunglasses at the Gym?

4:30 pm Random Gripings

So I’m at the gym today, and I saw at least 2 guys wearing sunglasses while they were working out.

What’s up with that?

Are they trying to check out girls and don’t want to be seen doing it?  Or worse, are they checking out guys and don’t want to be seen doing it?

It’s weird enough to wear sunglasses inside, but if you wear them in the gym I can only think of a few reasons other than the two above:

  • You just had an eye exam but didn’t want to miss your workout (not likely)
  • You think you’re cool (you’re really not, sorry)
  • You think you’re some kind of poker king and forgot to take them off

I mean seriously, why would you do that? Can you tell I’m baffled???

    I have never seen guys wearing sunglasses to gym before in my country. Well, I am a guy too, I know why guys want to do that, well ultimately is down to individual integrity.

    I’ve seen some guys wearing sunglasses at our local gym too. Most probably because they are checking out guys and don’t want to be seen doing it as what you’ve mentioned LOL

    It’s possible that they just don’t want to be recognized. But for whatever their reasons are, it’s still weird…

    That is pretty funny. I can hear that song “I wear my sunglasses at night” playing in my head, lol. They probably think it makes them look cool. Doesn’t everybody look cool wearing sunglasses?

    OMG, i’ve seen this too. I could stop laughing. Some people have take the whole “i’m trying to be cool” thing to another level. Whatever, they don’t realize how stupid they look…

    I would hope they are not checking out other guys. That’s a little creepy, but funny. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone where sunglasses in a gym. However, I will admit that I’m not very observant about those things.

    Well, I remember reading an article a few years ago about how the majority of men at the gym are homosexual. The reason being, homosexual men are more likely to care for their bodies and want to look good.

    that’s kinda creepy….guys that wear sunglasses indoors, whether at the gym or otherwise are creepy…kind of unibomber-esque if you ask me.

    *LoL* All I can think of why they’re wearing them because they thought they’re cool or they have a big eyebug. It could be possible that they’re eyeing on girls or even on guys ewwww! that’s gross *LOL* ^_^
