Are we hypocrites?
There is a picture of Nick Lachey on the celeb board. He is wearing a muscle shirt and basketball shorts and is carrying a bag. The responses to this so far involve this icon:  
So here's the hypocrite question. If this was a picture of a woman in an outfit resembling gym clothes, the responses would be more on line with this icon .
Why is acceptable for men to wear these clothes in public but not women?

Re: Are we hypocrites?
If that was on a male-dominated board, the responses would be the exact opposite.....

Re: Are we hypocrites?
I think it depends on the how the man and woman handle themselves with how they dress - whether it's in gym clothes, or otherwise.
There are men and women on both ends of the rope whom we all say when we see how they dress.

Ok, I'm back...
I don't see anything wrong with what he's wearing...
I don't see anything wrong with a woman wearing sweats/gym clothes out either.
I guess that's just me.

But you just did it yourself. So many of us do. And I see it here ALL THE TIME.
I don't mean to single you out.
Not all women hate on other women. I think most women here woudl say that they aren't like that. But we say its so much better to be friends with men, work for men, etc... because they aren't drama mamas like women.

Maybe some do it, but regardless of gender, if you look good, regardless of gender, I'm going to give you props no matter what.

i agree in a way - you are right, of course no one is perfect and all people roll their eyes a bit when it comes to certain things but i think we are talking about, mainly, just MEAN looks for being attractive -- i notice women do this to my sister CONSTANTLY - just dirty looks or when we are the dog park and we see a cute dog that we like - if it is a guy and a girl, we've noticed, 90% of the time the woman will be ANNOYED that we want to pet or see their dog b/c of the man being there -- most of the time they will go out of their way to walk away and get away from us. i feel like saying - we are only interested in your dog! lol!
it's stuff like this and it is so silly - i observe a lot when i go out with single friends - it is insane!!! somehow, i get shocked everytime by it.

But the OP is right. Look at the celeb board. How often do we tear apart a male celeb- even when its not his best photo. But we are brutal on the ladies if they don't look perfect.

Re: Are we hypocrites?
It's funny you posted this because I was thinking the same thing this morning. In the NY Post, they had a picture of Britney at the gym and they were making fun of her butt...saying she was giving JLo a run for her money in the article. I thought it was so rude....First of all she has a nice body and second of all she's working out! Leave her alone!

oh yeah - i totally agree.
i also think we are a lot different when it comes to celebs vs everyday people - very few people feel bad for celebs "well they have so much money - i'm sure they're crying all the way to the bank!" things like that, KWIM? so, i think we just feel like celebs are fair game to bash b/c they have it "so good" -- i'm just guessing this is what people think.

Re: Are we hypocrites?
I never understood this either. We are so quick to boo and hiss at a woman wearing jeans and a t-shirt with no makeup on and her hair a mess... but honestly, that's how most of us look on the weekends, no? (at least that's how I look on the weekend!).
