Got yelled at for "letting" my girlfriend go running in a sports bra...

I'm going to say it is not likely to be Texas. If it were, I'd go with San Antonio due to stoplights, more conservative Hispanic culture toward women, and still some humidity.

That being said, southerners are also usually polite and don't do as much in your face stuff as this.

I would go ahead and even say it was probably somewhere like Jersey or maybe even NYC.

NYC? Have you ever been to Central Park in the summer? Nobody is wearing a shirt, men or women. If you're actually from Texas, it totally explains this because most people there are total morans and have no idea how the world actually operates.

Was just there last year. And in central park. I'm not talking about the park. I could see some old lady ranting about it at a stoplight in Queens.

Btw lol @ a New Yorker telling Texans that they're morons and spelling it incorrectly. Just great.

Quite surprising... and shows the OP is a troll. Aint no way it is humid in Grand Junction. The conservatism lines up though.

Have you been to Grand Junction? I lived there for 2 years and was surprised by how humid some summer days were there, given that I'm from the high desert and that is not common. For whatever reason it seems to happen in GJ once in a while. Conservative values line up too.

High 94 Low 57 in Grand Junction on Monday 6.25.18 and I doubt it was humid with diurnal temps like that. Humidity will be around 10% today.

I think the lady had a point. The sexes aren't equally attractive. If you're an attractive female running outside in a sports bra, men are going to look at you that way. It's not the same with what guys wear.

The actual weather data for Grand Junction does not agree with you. It is low humidity all the way around.

How long have you been here, like 5 minutes max?

First of all, you were not tempting any women with your runner's bod.

Second, why were you running with your girlfriend? I hope this was some of super easy shake out run or cool down, or your girlfriend is the sub-17 type. Otherwise, no excuses.

Lastly, you've got to think better on your feet with the zingers for Grandma Prude? Some examples:

-Your husband needs to tell you to shut the hell up.

-Just because nobody wants to see you naked doesn't mean the rest of us can't show off our bods.

-Shut the hell up, lady, and get in the time machine back to 1950.

Runs with the GF are a-okay for 1001 reasons. Otherwise, exactly right.

Grand Junction CO had an average June Dew Point of 28 F. Anyone who has ever been out of the desert would consider that very very low humidity.

You wanna know what really throws off old ladies that are trying to lecture you? Suddenly, and violently screaming in their face to go die and suck you. It sounds over the top, maybe even immature, but with someone that has a sense of humor like mine, it is completely hilarious.

Per the other thread Colorado possesses strong midwestern values so some cities are going have ultra conservative people living in them.

The ironic thing was that I was wearing a pair of half tights and no shirt. She says nothing about how I was being a temptation to women etc.

I don't think there was any danger of that happening, don't worry.

I grew up in Chicago, now living in Europe where tight clothes are the norm. Whenever I go back to visit the Midwest, my family throw a fit if I try to go running in half-tights and they always make fun of my singlets saying they're called "wife-beaters". WTH?

Kinda, but they gotta core of Mormons that wandered over from Utah.

I was gonna suggest The Villages retirement community, central Florids, where the average age is 66 and anyone under 60 is called a "kid."

A 62-year old granny in a Nike sports bra and Daisy Dukes is something you can't "unsee" no matter how much you drink. Haunting.

Let's stay focused on the running aspect here folks - What the world needs is a new Strava Category for FKTs in Sports Bra - Let's call them "Curved Miles FKTs" or something.

Skinny girls gets too much of the action here - I'm sure "Curved Miles FTKs" would create a few new global sponsor deal superstars on the overall running scene - and I'm totally fine with that!

I got mistaken for a women a few weeks ago -- and this happens a few times a year. I was out running in my printed capri tights, sleeveless, and a ball cap. A dude rolled up along side of me and said "Nice mosquito bites and butt". I turned my head, and smiled... the dude looked horrified and floored his car. I don't think he could've gotten away any quicker. It was funny at first, then I thought about how if I was women, how I'd feel.

That's a perfect example of stereotyping... Why? Just because women usually wear capri tights and that it's off limits to men or no man would ever wear them? Totally false...

I've actually gotten hit on by a lot of women who like guys wearing short shorts, and tights. Most of the general consensus was that I was proud of my body and that I don't give a hoot what other people think. Which is kind of true... I mostly wear short shorts and tights because it is comfortable, especially for running.

FWIW, we all are human and it shouldn't matter how we dress.

For the OP, your girl friend was fully dressed in my eyes. There is nothing wrong with a sports bra and running shorts, nor wearing tight shorts.

It's interesting these days... very interesting to say the least.

She was probably jealous of your girlfriend’s fit toned body and got intimidated so kicked up a ruckus about it.

At the same time, she was probably checking you out.

That doesn't jive with reality.

The huge Muslim population in Grand Junction is the cause of all this.
