Why are women's pro volleyball outfits so much small then the men's ones?

Question

And why do they put up with such sexism. How will they ever be taken seiously when it's all about b***s and butt cheeks?

I can only watch for about five minutes before I feel like a perv and change the channel, especially when they start hugging and patting each others butt.

Answer 1

because nobody wants to see the guys!!!! lol

Answer 2

It's beach volleyball... that's what they wear on beaches usually so that's what they wear when they are playing... it makes sense... plus the clothes are supposed to be tight on them so they don't move and don't have to be adjusted alot when they were playing...

Answer 3

I have no clue!

Answer 4

I think to get more guys to watch the game.  Not many guys watch women's sports.

Answer 5

It's not, it's about the game! They have them like that to be comfortable. You should see how many creeps show up to my tournaments!! it's really scary & i feel invaded. they are smaller than guys uniforms because women are generally smaller than men!!

Answer 6

I think that a lot of the hype about the game is centered on the sexism. But a lot of times you dont see people watching volleyball unless they actually know about the game. You dont see the beer belly guys that go to football games to drink going to the volleyball games to see the skimpy bathing suits. The sport needs all the publicity it can get.

I went to the AVP Hot Winter Nights, and the suits were very skimpy but the ladies had the bodies to show off. So if you got it flaunt it, thats how you make your money.

The men have all the muscle and hot parts above their shorts so why make their shorts skimpier and I would really think it would be bad to make them wear speedos. Dont you agree?

Answer 7

Wow.

Let's get this straight.

Girls start wearing tighter clothes in volleyball at the youngest age possible.  You know you are serious about volleyball when you wear spandex.  The reason for this is so we can move.  Women naturally have bigger hips (child-birth), and heavier torso's (b*****s, also co-related to child-birth).  With baggy clothes, it's hard to maneuver what is already bulky!  

And another thing, shouldn't you be focusing on the game instead of what the girls are wearing?

Sorry, but I can't stand when people make these kind of remarks when the bulk is just staring them in the face.

Answer 8

because women are smaller and want to look like they have a girlish figure!!

Answer 9

I agree.  I don't understand why women put up with it.  But I guess it's because if they didn't, no one would watch.  

All the people who constantly answer that women wear spandex for vball because it helps athletic performance have never been able to answer one question:  If it's for the purpose of better athletic performance, then why don't women wear it for basketball, soccer, softball, field hockey, lacrosse, or golf?

The ironic thing is that a lot of young women, particularly in high school, if given the choice of wearing basketball-like outfits instead of spandex, would choose spandex specifically because, as they themselves would say, "Guys think it's hot."

So much for the women's movement, huh?

I think that the outfits women wear in the beach and indoor games demeans the sport and takes away from its beauty and purity.

Answer 10

I guess women's outfits are meant to be small and tight for better performance but men can't wear those because we need some room down there(they need to be hanging low and stay cool).  Also, men would look much worse wearing those with 'it' bulging out drawing attention from everywhere.

I think women's indoor spandex outfits are adequate but I'm against beach players wearing bikinis.  Especially, when it gets wedged up in rear, it just hurts my eyes looking at it.

Answer 11

As wonderful a game as volleyball is, we wouldn't see women's pro beach volleyball on TV if they wore boardshorts and tanks.  What they "put" up with has raised the sport's popularity, purses, and most importantly gotten many players lucrative endorsement deals!
