I feel like I'm the only one at my gym that sweats too. The only female anyway, and most of the males too. Except for the slightly worrisome older guy who comes at the same time as me and goes really crazy fast and beet red on the bicycle for 45 minutes, and I always wonder if today is the day he is going to have a heart attack, and maybe I should have brushed up on my CPR. And there are some really cute guys at my gym, and how am I ever going to attract them when they only ever see me with my hair absolutely soaked and pasted to my head, and how come the cute girl with the ponytail manages to exercise with makeup on, because mine would be all over my shirt and towel.
(This is pretty much the running narrative in my head the entire time I'm at the gym, for those of you who occasionally mention you are self conscious about what people might be thinking about you. I am not thinking about you at all except maybe for "how do you not SWEAT and how do I do that?!")
I did switch from old cotton T-shirts and shorts to "tech" clothes, which don't help with sweating at all, but do help with not showing the embarrassing wet patches.
