Recently, a lot of men have been getting “print profiled.”
As the “catching print” TikTok trend rumbles on, content creator Josh Cureton (@juztjosh) found himself at the receiving end of this very specific investigation.
Speaking to the camera, Cureton told his 6.1 million TikTok viewers that he recently got print-profiled.
“I’m in the gym, and realistically, it’s my fault, because yes, my pants were a little tight. I should have been wearing baggier pants, but I was trying to put a fit on and that was the only thing that matched,” he explained.
He then went on to describe how he was on the hanging leg raise, trying to focus on “stabilizing” his core. “So, I’m not really paying attention to what else needs adjusting and what’s going on everywhere else,” he added.
But Cureton was caught off-guard when a girl walked up to him, looked him up and down, and smirked.
Once he finished his set, the woman was still there, so he asked her what was going on. In response, she calls him a “B.” When he asked her what she meant, she looked down at him.
“I had to clutch my pearls,” he added. He said he told the woman that she objectified and sexualized him. In response, she simply said, “Well, you shouldn’t be wearing them skinny-a– pants.”
Cureton didn’t immediately respond to BroBible’s request for comment via Instagram direct message.
An Interesting Point
In the comments, many TikTokers used this video to highlight how women have been dealing with harassment like this for generations.
“Feels weird doesn’t it?” one asked. “Mhmm.. glad yall know.”
A second chimed in saying. “Omg theyre experiencing what we’ve experienced our whole lives.”
“Yeah it doesn’t feel good, almost like people aren’t objects,” a third remarked.
While a fourth added, “The matriarchy is risingggggg”
“You got caught up….” a fifth remarked. “Now you know how we feel on a regular basis!”
Indeed, women often experience harassment at the gym.
What Is Catching Print?
“Catching print” is a viral TikTok trend coined by dating coach Anwar White.
In a viral TikTok, he explains that ‘catching print’ is essentially a graph. It details the three different ways a man’s “package” appears through their pants.
Type A is when the “bulge peaks at the middle or above the inseam.” Type B is when the “bulge peaks at the middle or lower inseam,” while Type D (in lieu of C) occurs when the bulge is “banana shaped” and is a “half circle top to bottom.” Respectively, he estimates the three sizes as being 4 to 6 inches, 6 to 8 inches, and 8 inches or more.
@juztjosh Yall doing field tests now???
So, essentially, this female gym goer tried to use this method on Cureton. However, as he pointed out, this can be seen as objectifying.
