TikTok user @blackmarketbagelsociety0 is claiming that men stopped giving her unsolicited advice in the gym after she started putting fake hickeys on her neck. The woman maintains that her life hack is simply brown eye shadow which she applies generously to her neck.
After working out with the smeared makeup on her neck, the results were uncanny, she was not bothered by men during her time at the gym. In jest, the woman attributes the results to her new form while exercising but truly believes the makeup life hack is a keeper. After joking about her exercise session in the captions, “Guess my form is just better this week,” the post has garnered north of 191,000 likes so far.
According to many people who responded to the TikTok video, a large number of women suffer from this pervasive issue at the gym. In the comment section, they lamented the issue especially in the current social climate today.
“Misogynistic problems require misogynistic solutions,” a commenter shared.
“They respect the ‘man’ you’re ‘with’ more than you as a human being,” wrote another, “which says a lot about society.”
@blackmarketbagelsociety0 Guess my form is just better this week also shout out to my team mate for this idea #howdy #gymhack #lifehack #gym

Other people in the comment sections echoed similar sentiments but underlined how sad and sorry they are, that women are forced to go to such lengths in order to not be harassed by men while working out.

TikTok Videos Draws Ire From Pervasive Issue
Prior to the TikToker’s happenstance, a few months ago, personal trainer, Heidi Aragon also broadcasted a similar experience on her TikTok account. According to Aragon, she was working out and a guy inside the gym continuously stared at her in a creepy manner.
While some commenters drew attention to her outfit, the whole interaction was caught on video, and the man in question is uncomfortably leering at her from afar.
Sadly, the problem doesn’t seem to be subsiding anytime soon. If you are a woman, TikTok user@blackmarketbagelsociety0’s life hack appears to have some value. Keeping some eye shadow handy could make your life a whole lot easier at the gym if that creep starts heading your way…

You should know that by wearing what u do at the gym your gojng to draw attention from men n women.get used to it or get over yourself period
They butches wanna try to dress all sexy and tight clothing bit o ly want attention from men they find attractive and when it’s not them any and all men are creepy ,get over it or invest in a home gym of you don’t like it.
Fake. No man looking at her would take time to notice the little bit of makeup on her neck.
She’s actually just take bragging about getting hit on at the gym to make other women feel inferior cause she’s a narc.
Just like your assuming the stance taken to write this is pure predatorial posturing by the author lmfao.
Also, I’d ask her to fuck wether she had the hickies or not. I wouldn’t bother talking about form. I’d make eye contact, do a double eyebrow raise in the direction of the bathroom and be like how about it? And yes. It works.
Of course you have to be a male model or they don’t want your attention lol.
Men should see (or associate in mind) women as his real mother, as for me, my mum is pretty, but i have never been and will never be attracted sexually to her.
And if women knew it, they might help us, men, by dressing less revealing-ly, so men are LESS LIKELY TEMPTED to do bad things (because men usually are weaker in terms of humanly self control)
The men were bothering….HER? No way, she needs to get over herself.
Based on the way she looks, she wouldn’t need a life hack to fend off men where I workout. She wouldn’t get any attention at all. The competition is too strong. If men are hitting on her, it must be a pretty low rent gym. Also, she’s dressed looking to get attention, and then she complains if guys respond??? She’s just fishing for SJW atta girls. This article’s a waste of space.
Sorry but this is BS. I never saw a guy creep on a girl in my gym. Not once in nearly 7 years. We have the most members in the whole city and really beautiful woman. She is not even hot. I wouldn’t give here even one second eye contact. Got tiktok is full of 95% people with no talent and the love of attention.
She had better enjoy the dubious attention she is receiving now because in 10 years, she’ll be asking, “Where have all the good men gone?” ‘The Wall’ is undefeated and she be riding the cock carousel until she hits the wall, and then it’ll be ‘Why doesn’t anyone want to go out on a date anymore?’ Lol
Hey get a life.. woman wear mind boggling tight ass cloths to go work out in? Shorts up their ass.. breast popping out.. make up out of this world.. all for the gym.. and when they get hit on.. they complain.. dress like your going to work out not tease.. let us men start wearing tights that show the package just like the camel toe having woman.. let’s see what they say.. oh it would be indecent exposure right? My ASS GET A LIFE WOMAN.. TO MANY OF YOU WOMAN FOR A MAN TO BE ALL OVER.. BEST TO CHECK THE ONE AT HOME IF YOU HAVE TO WEAR ALL THAT TO THE GYM.
Works way better when you smear it up the back of your shorts…
I wouldn’t respect a man that leaves hickeys, and I would respect a woman less for being with a guy that’s doing that. If the story is true at all which it probably isn’t she’s probably being hit on less because guys think she’s gross.
What a stupid and hypocritical world we live in. I spent years as a personal trainer and boxing teacher and got plenty of female attention in the gym… I never once resented anyone for it or made it out to be indicative of some pervasive, sexist societal problem. I was there to look good and I guess I did my job, and the attention came with it… Regardless of the level of hotness of those giving me the attention. This girl, like so many others, is desperately seeking attention, but laments over getting it from someone she doesn’t find attractive. A man she does find attractive, behaving the exact same “creepy” way (and keep in mind all we are talking about in this context is being looked at!) would not receive the same response from her. You don’t want to be noticed? Wear less provocative clothing and/or workout at home, as I have now done for quite a few years in my efforts to avoid temptation and stay faithful in my relationship. This kind of half-cocked BS outrage only diminishes the attention and response we all give to real, valid examples of misogynistic “creeping.”
I’m pretty sure it’s just the ugly that keeps them at bay, again, 5’s thinking they’re 10’s……
I love how guys are the only ones leaving comments and running there mouth… So much for not shaming people and thinking they are any better…I mean seriously don’t you have anything better to do than to talk trash about someone… Such shallow low life scum… But I guess since y’all all know what happens to the chicks in the gym y’all must be watching them pretty close… Who has issues?!?!?
Drama sought, confirmation bias affirmed.
Conscientiousness is the last part of the mind that develops. Females develop conscientiousness typically in the early twenties and males in the mid-twenties. People who believe this article suffer from arrested development and basically have the mind of a teenager.
I would be embarrassed to have authored this sjw trash but even worse…there is an editor who approved it.
I just ignore them as politely as possible. I am there for MY workout and that’s it.
Good job, you may have decreased the number of guys that look at you and or hit on you, but you increased the number of men and women that may look at you like a little hussy.
I don’t consider myself to be a knockout but I’m far from being not attractive. I’m not a bad looking gentleman. I’m also straight but don’t get all bent out of shape and or make a spectacle out of getting hit on wether it be a female , male, and or trans. I get it though there are times I’m not in the mood to get hit on even if it maybe a lady I’m attracted to.
It’s not that difficult to say ” thank you for the compliment but I’m at a point in my life where I’d like to be alone”. Or thank you, but please excuse me but im focused on other things or have interest elsewhere! Your getting the point across without loosing your integrity by lying, loosing respect by being rude, and or appearing like an easy girl by having hickeys all over.
Hickeys does not mean you have a boyfriend. It just suggest that most likely you either had sex and or made out with someone within the last few days.
Be positive and take as a compliment or even allow it to flatter you a bit even if it’s not someone your attracted to. Don’t allow it to have negative effects on you or cause you to do negative things. That makes you even more attractive and more respect. At least in my opinion.
Assuming is the word….hahhhahha good try girl!
Ya, I’m sure your intentional massive camel toe had NOTHING to do with it. *eye roll*
She knows this is her own doing, and she likes it. She just gets off on sharing it. Degenerates.
You think that cameltoe is gonna stop anything bc you got a minor poop stain on your neck, you’re completely wrong. If anything you look like a girl that just got hot and heavy and dudes would definitely want a go. (My turn *air five*) This facade is b.s. plus your gym looks empty in those pics, not a man woman or child. My question is, how do you avoid peak times? Like what time of day did you go to the gym?? I wait turns to bench. Not to holler at some monotone looking unkempt lady desperate for attention. Nice gains
Forced feminism and self flattery at its finest.
I’ve got no sympathy for any woman that dresses like that in the gym and then complains about all the “unwanted attention” she receives in return.
Manipulative shrews.
I wonder if she has tried to dress in more respectful workout attire? If people don’t want attention they should first try to cover up a little.
Heres a thought, be personally responsible. I’ll elaborate.
Everyone has hormones and everyones levels differ. Not everyone had good parents or were good children. So not everyone has tact enough to know that theyre bothering you, or that they just shouldnt.
Control what you can control. If the attention is unwanted or a bother to deal with, work out at home or your apartment complex where the exposure to others is minimized or eliminated. If thats not an option then know and be prepared for the social arena. If you dont WANT to, then concerns of unwanted interaction are not your most important concern.
Finally, the comments stating that the behaviour in gyms is somehow a representation of all of society have grossly misunderstood the sample area, and probably should be ignored for their unintelligent comments. This behaviour is a sample of gyms NOT all of society. This behaviour is more concentrated there because of things i mentioned at the beginning of this comment.
Thank God I see real men in the comments that can call BS. The reason these hobgoblins get and seek so much attention is bcuz of simps. Seriously look at that girl. I saw nothing attractive till I scrolled down and there’s the problem. Do you need to show me your cameltoe. Did I ask to see it. No I’m a creep though bcuz your vagina is eating your painted on shorts. You couldn’t wear sweats no bcuz you would get no attention. These fake feminists are pathetic. I saw the Metoo movement coming years before they arrived bcuz of the uptick of demonizing men. It is beyond pathetic. All these attention seekers are a slap in the face to women that have been raped and assaulted, not he assaulted me with his eyes. FOH. When I was in the military and overseas we were in the workout tent working out with the British and this Spanish girl had on tights and I turned and all I saw was cameltoe. I paused and stared and she looked down at her cooch then looked at me. I was so puzzled I laughed with my friends like why did she look down like she didn’t know. Like she didn’t look in the mirror and hike them up before she came there. I said next time I’m a wear some speedos and have my sack hanging and then look around and act stupid like what what. What’s everybody looking at.
Oh yes, it’s never the fact that your form is actually shit and they’re trying to help prevent you from getting injured, they’re all trying to fuck you.
Vanity it is.
I’ve been in gyms for more than 30 years now and I can count on one hand how many times I’ve seen women hit on at the gym. Stop with this fake need to be wanted! First, if a man is that interested in you, a hicky isn’t going to stop him, a boyfriend standing next to you isn’t going to either. You’ve all over played your hand. Read the comments and it’s very clear not many people do.
Secondly, if I were to wear gym clothes as tight as yours, I’d be arrested for indecent exposure! My workouts leave people on the floor and not one of us need to show our bellys or wear skin tight clothes.
Seriously did you see her thighs, perhaps people are being friendly . This chick would be a solid 1 out 10 in the gym i go to and never get a second look from any guy…..I have to believe it’s the same at the gym she’s at. Christ it’s always the fat or ugly ones that want to proclaim men are looking at them. YOU WISH!!!!! If you don’t want guys looking g at you and I doubt they do, put o sweat pants and a loose top If 8t bothers you so much. What idiot gives herself hackles.
She seeking attention
Great!! Another one, 1st Heidi with her bulls**t, now this one with hickeys on her neck. What’s wrong with you idiots. If I saw you ANYWHERE with hickeys on you 1st thing on my mind would be WHORE cover that shit up or your man beats your ass and you need to get out. I’m so tired of men being blamed for crap. If you wear clothes so tight I can literally measure the size of ur cooch and count your ass dimples and see which direction your nipples are pointing, MAYBE I’m not the problem, you might as well walk around naked. Just like in MY COUSIN VINNY- “IM DONE WITH THIS ONE”
So you are wearing as little clothe as possible. And the little clothe you wear are super tight and specifically made to show of curves and shapes. That males find attractive. And yet you complain when someone looks your way in a public gym?
The main goal for most gym goers is to become more attractive in terms of their body.
Id say you are going to the gym to get attention. Mostly on the media with pathetic stunts like this.
Or….don’t wear skin tight clothing that shows off every line and crease of your ladybits and we won’t start. It’s called human biology..we have hormones which attract us to the opposite sex (or same) and dressing like your naked with spray paint on of course were going to look. Duh.
Pathetic, I’m all for not verbally or physically harassing women but when you wear shit like this you expect men not to approach you? Most straight men are attracted to the female anatomy. If you’ve got shorts hiked up your crack and eating your cooch of course men will notice. It’s literally hardwired in our brains to find attractive mates. I’m so tired of this bullshit it takes away from legitimate instances of women being harmed.
You guys don’t have a life and it shows. Talking trash about her and saying it’s her fault because of what she wears? Oh yeah very fucking mature, even if she is wearing stuff that’s tight it doesn’t give you the right to hit on her and make her uncomfortable. That’s like if you go out with your abs showing and girls just swarm you calling you hot and won’t leave you alone until you find it very uncomfortable. Just don’t. This is why y’all single. Treat them as if they are your mother. Oh right you don’t even treat your mother with respect you lowlifes.
Ok so WTF is going on with all these women/women in the comments? How are you all not able to grasp the fact that like it or not, wearing tight and revealing clothing in PUBLIC is going to garner attention from the opposite sex? THIS WILL NEVER. EVER. CHANGE. You are putting yourself out there in a more attractive and attention seeking way. PERIOD. NO ONE IS MALING YOU DRESS LIKE THAT. We get it, you only want attention on the ‘gram or whatever so you have to post pics like that. Doesnt matter. You can wear a normal T-shirt and work out. You can wear normal gym shorts/pants. 95% of the guys are wearing normal clothes and wirking SIGNIFICANTLY harder than you all are. Get over yourselves.
Wow, every single gym creep commented on here. Sxxt shaming, gaslighting, “not hot enough” (to harass btw), and making every excuse in the book as to why Men bothering women is their own fault
Fuck.
The comments alone convince me that she’s right.
Put on some clothes, preferably ones that aren’t skin tight and only covering “private parts” that you can see anyway because the clothes are so tight. I’ve been in gyms my ENTIRE life and those that dress that way are obviously looking for attention and showing off but cry when it’s not attention from the one they want. People can cry that men should be able to “control their urges” but then the people aren’t at all educated as to the BASIC psychology of a man. You don’t go shopping at the mall in a bikini so don’t wear the equivalent at the gym. They’re all just compliment fishing (doesn’t have to be verbal compliments) and looking for attention. It’s the same with the leggings, especially the tik-tok leggings they wear EVERYWHERE! Imagine if a man wore the same tights everywhere with his package on FULL display. Society would have a meltdown. Women now can dress with everything on full display everywhere they go yet cry about it when a man notices. Cry me a river, they’re so typical and annoying.
Unfortunately I don’t even think they are respecting the man she is with I think they just don’t want used product
Ew. The men in these comments really outing themselves.
All the guys in the comment section making the point for the author without realizing it… You guys are sad excuses of what it means to be a man.
