Many women have a misconception: they always think they are too fat and need to lose weight. Whether it’s a 150-pound woman from the Northeast or an 80-pound girl from the South, they are either on a diet or on the way to lose weight.
What they don’t realize is that most men actually prefer women who are slightly plump; an ideal partner is someone who looks skinny yet feels soft to the touch.
Weight loss requires strong willpower, and most women can’t stick to it, so they spend money on yoga classes to achieve their weight loss goals through the influence of those around them and the supervision of others.
Where there is demand, there is a market, leading to the emergence of various training classes and boot camps, followed by management issues surrounding these training facilities.
After all, boot camps are public spaces where all kinds of people gather, and during training, some awkward poses are unavoidable, especially when men and women train together and skin-to-skin contact happens. This creates opportunities for some unscrupulous men, while many women, due to the difficulty of obtaining evidence, end up suffering in silence.
On March 31, a man in Chengdu complained online:
He sent his girlfriend to a boot camp to lose weight, but after just two days of training, he hurried to pick her up because the men inside were staring at her inappropriately.
Friends who work out know that whether in a gym or a boot camp, both men and women are present, and fitness cannot just be about sitting modestly. It’s always about working out various parts of the body with appropriate equipment and professional poses, which inevitably includes movements like hip twists, squats, and splits.
These actions easily lead to suggestive thoughts, so it’s natural to look a few extra times.
Moreover, some trainers even guide their clients hand-in-hand, which can sometimes result in skin contact; those who are overly concerned about details might find this difficult to accept.
The man in the video said that he sent his girlfriend to the boot camp for closed training, thinking it would yield great results and that he would eventually see a curvy, beautiful girlfriend.
However, he was shocked when watching the boot camp live stream.
There were many men and women inside, performing various bizarre movements. Especially when his girlfriend was doing those exercises, many men were looking at her with lewd eyes,
“Seeing her was like a dog seeing feces, so excited.”
So he urgently went to pick her up.
Regarding this classic metaphor, the netizens exploded with comments:
This guy really knows how to speak; he dares to say it, but I wonder if he will kneel in front of a durian after his girlfriend comes out? Who’s the dog and who’s the feces? That metaphor is a bit too much.
Some netizens also said,
This guy is a typical jealous type, “Are you afraid that she won’t want you after losing weight?”
Do you have a problem with others looking at your girlfriend? Should she wear a veil while walking on the street? Just a glance won’t take away any weight; it shows that your girlfriend has charm, and you should feel proud.
In fact, weight loss relies on willpower; if you can’t stick with it, everything is in vain. So before deciding to sign up for a boot camp to lose weight, you must think about two questions:
1. Do you have the perseverance to keep going?
Many people around me impulsively pay for a membership card but find various excuses not to go after a few days.
Although they say they have no time, in reality, they are just making excuses. If you truly want to accomplish something, you will find a way to make time; time is like water in a sponge, with a little squeezing, there’s always some to be found.
These training institutions precisely take advantage of this human weakness, which is why they require students to get membership cards. After getting the card, only a few manage to stick with it until the end, while those who get the card but don’t train are their main source of income.
2. Choose a training institution with standardized management.
Training venues are often chaotic, because during workouts, too much clothing is not allowed, which can lead to more revealing outfits. Coupled with an ever-changing array of training poses and the heightened hormones of fitness enthusiasts, it inevitably leads some people to develop inappropriate thoughts.
They may explore the other party’s boundaries with probing gestures, and once the other party remains silent, they will push their luck.
Therefore, choosing a well-managed institution is important for both your own peace of mind during training and to reassure your family.
In fact, as long as there is an ocean in your heart, wherever you go will be a beach. If you truly have the willpower to lose weight,
