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.
Hahaha. Yes, we're all human, but, yes, it also matters how we dress. Sure, you can wear whatever you want, and others can also judge you for it.
