In the gym, is it gross to see a man’s bulge through his shorts, or his armpits through his muscle shirt? How do you feel about the different rules for men’s vs women’s gym attire?

If men from management to members, would do women the same courtesy of general indifference, none of this would matter.
No one should wear clothes tight enough for others to see their genitals. Also, don’t stare at people’s genitals. Exposed armpits in tank tops are normal.
I don’t care what other people wear, and I don’t see how there are “different rules” for men and women.
When they have armpit holes cut so big you can see their bellybutton?!? Wtf.
To some extent, a bulge is the same as boobs. It’s there and I don’t expect them to tuck it away. If a guy wants to wear bike shorts and it’s tight around their bulge, so be it. Armpits? I would never even think to have an opinion on someone’s armpits – women and men wear tank tops all the time. We should all just be keeping our eyes to ourselves.
No, and no. What different rules?
I don’t give half a rats ass of a fuck
I’m not looking at people, I’m working out. As long as they do the same we are all good. You can be jogging on the treadmill buck ass naked for all I care, as long as you mind your business and leave me alone

Nah, it’s not gross. We all have body parts.
It really depends on the vibe. If a guy’s bulge is super obvious and he’s clearly trying to show it off, it can feel uncomfortable or performative. Same with super loud grunting or overly flexing in the mirror. But if it’s just how the clothes fit and he’s minding his business, I don’t think it’s gross just part of being in a shared space.
What bugs me more is how women get judged way faster. A guy can wear tiny shorts and a stringer tank with no problem, but a woman in leggings and a sports bra gets side-eyed or told to cover up. The double standard is real, and it’s exhausting. Let everyone be comfortable, sweaty, and focused that’s kind of the whole point of being there.
I don’t know, I don’t go to the gym to look at people! Never noticed anyone’s bulge or armpits
