[quote="1000Knives"]As the title says, I've noticed this around my neighborhood. Women will go for walks wearing full workout gear, like today I saw a woman wearing full black compression clothes and just walking on the sidewalk. I'd understand it if they're running, but they're not, they're simply taking a walk, like everyone used to do since the beginning of time until we got personal chariots in the 20th century. I mean, I admit, I'm a bit on the lazy side with workout clothes, and will do a whole workout in the gym in jeans and a collared shirt if I just don't feel like changing, so maybe I'm not one to judge, but it seems these women are really overdressed for taking a walk. Why is this so, can anyone give me any input?[/quote]

Seems like normal walking, but for normal walking you simply want to reach a certain spot, and normally you go there in a speed,s o that your normal everyday stuff is not full of sweat. <br /> <br />Then they also may like to wear cozy cloth. As a woman if you were normal everday cozy, non crazy, cloth you are often told to look sloppy. So if you want to wear cozy cloth, but dont want to get told to look sloppy, you simply wear sports stuff, because for sports cozy cloth are allowed. <br /> <br />Personally for me, I like them because they are normally easy to wash, elastic = cozy, and you dont have to care much for "What cloth do I wear today?" without looking sloppy. And you dont need to change cloths, when doing sports. ^^Perfect for weekend. <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" border="0" /> Waking up, showering, sports cloth, shopping food, doing housework, cycling for 2 hours, doing garden work, chill out with computer games and all with the same stuff and I dont need to change cloths if my partners friends visit us. <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" border="0" /></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>lostonearth35</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://cdn.wrongplanet.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Jun 11, 2013 4:22 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Not me!
