So this morning as we were coming out of our apartment complex my landlord calls my wife and I over and explains that he has received a complaint about my jogging attire. Apparantly someone (I'm assuming an obnoxious ajumma) saw my running shorts and mistook them for underwear hence the complaint. My landlord advised me not to wear said shorts again.

My first inclination is to just ignore it. To me theres nothing offensive about running shorts and obviously the complainant has simply made a mistake. We live in Hwaseong which probably has something to do with it.

However I really want to avoid an incident where the police turn up at our place wanting to see the article of clothing in question.

I was wondering if anyone on these boards has been in a similar situation and how they acted.

Cheers

lmfao,

Oh wow, you're story explains such much about the crotch stares I get from women when I jog.

I got these very tight (but not speedo) like shorts that I jog with.

Well, I'm gonna take the advice of your landlords. The crotch stares are starting to bother the hell out of me. I thought it was because I was bouncing up and down and they wanted a peak at the bunny.

Obnoxious [and dirty] ajummas... lol

It's getting cold here anyways... making the switch to sweats should be easy

I would advise against skin tight clothing as jogging attire, especially for Women. I like to wear spandex because its comfortable, I am an addict, I have special underwear that's very long and I also kick box and frankly don't need to give a peep show to everyone. When I get annoying missionaries at my door I usually answer the door in them, all they can do is stare at the fish and tackle.

So its okay for the ajummas to walk around in short skin-tight clothing, but if a foreigner does it, a big red flag goes up?

Interesting...

That's hilarious.

My wife was at the riverside once when a black girl jogged through wearing what everyone around there took to be a bra. Really turned a lot of heads, and I think she damn near turned my wife lesbian.
