At what age in a man's life does all inhibition go out the window??? Seriously...It never fails when I'm getting changed some old dude is coming or going to the shower with towel on shoulder and junk catching a breeze. Today I'm talking baseball with this guy while getting dressed, I turn around and the dude has got his shoes on and nothing, just standing there. Really dude? You put your shoes on before your drawers and you're ok just talking with me??? Come on man! If this sounds like you, please put the towel around your waste. Us kids today (I'm 39 - lol) are not comfortable with this............thank you!

    I second this!

    Does a guy really need to dry shave naked in front of the full length mirror at the end of the row of lockers? Really? What does this accomplish different than shaving at the sink WITH A TOWEL ON!
  • LOL, Omg what happened to modesty and being respectful of others?

    I HEAR YA.......same things goes for those gals and ladies out there who bounce around the locker or gym in the buff wanting to have a coversation with others. We aren't really listening to you, because your %$#&'s and your &^%$ are hanging out everywhere. Keep 'em under wraps!

    Ohhhh NOOOOO!!! That is so wrong!!! They need to have rules that prevent that.... talk about scarred for life!!!
  • Funny, yet DISGUSTING at the same time!! At that point I would be rude and tell him to cover his "stuff".

    Oh WOWWW. D: Some chicks are the same way too, though! The ONE TIME I used our rec center locker room, some old lady all in there with just shorts on, NO TOP and just going about her business out in the freaking open. NOT CUTE.

    You guys must have never had to take communal showers in school or in the Army.

    Wow, I must be the only guy on here who isn't bothered by this. I don't go walking around like that because I'm self-conscious. But, it's a locker room. I expect to see people naked. Nudity isn't shameful or disgusting. If people want to stand around nude while conversing, more power to them for being comfortable with their own bodies to not give a crap.

    As a former nurse aide who use to work in a nursing home...it takes more than old men walking around in all their glory to shock me (or old women for that matter!). :bigsmile:

    my gym/pool only has a communal changing area. I'm finding it pretty uncomfortable! Most of the women in there are quite happy stripping off but then they are probably about 60 pounds or more lighter than I am!

    The only thing worse would be mirrors, I don't need to see myself fighting out of a wet swimming costume first thing in the morning - like a whale wrestling an octopus:embarassed:

    In all the years I've been using gyms and locker rooms, I have yet to have that happen to me. I've seen people discreetly change, but not had to endure nude conversations. LOL!!! :laugh:

    This topic makes me laugh! I was a camp counselor for adults and teens that have disabilities and when I worked with the males they would do this all the time... but then again, some of them didn't know any better.

    Also, at my one camp, we had communal showers... think one big open room with shower heads and no curtains what so ever. Imagine my shock when I first went to shower and everyone around me was naked.. and here I am in my bathing suit trying to be as modest as possible!

    This is hilarious! I was just going to post that a male coworker has seen this happen at his gym---foot propped up on a chair for "full access" and everything. Makes me LOL!

    Idk Beef, I haven't been to a gym in a long time, but as a kid I remember all the women being naked (of course the gym was at a very liberal college), and me being FREAKED OUT!!

    lol. You see the bad naked bodies of all the seniors that use the locker room at my senior center. Everything sags in the wind, tats that you can't determine the original tat, veins, veins, etc. It really make me feel good about the body I have. You just got to laugh it off.

    In the ladies changing room you can be changing and look up to see a little boy watching you. Do men take their kids in the changing room too?
