Ladies please very random question!!

I would never do it personally and most of the people at the gym where I workout are modest, thank goodness!

When I get out of the shower after swimming in the pool, I wrap myself in a towel or bring my clothes along to change into if the locker room isn't too busy.

I can't quite imagine parading around naked. It would make me uncomfortable too.

I have had people walk around in their birthday suit at my gym in the locker room, but usually it's not for very long its from the shower to change or vice versa...at first I was shocked, then I got use to it!

In high school my mom and I would go to the gym in the morning before I had to go to school. The old ladies would just sit around and chat. Naked as the day they were born. My mom and I would always have a good laugh about it before going into the locker rooms and then again in the car on the way home.

I'm a guy and though I may sound wimpy, yeah, this happens on the men's side a lot. Sad thing is, I saw it at my WORK gym *shiver*. Try seeing that and then having to sit across a conference table looking at the person. Never went to the work gym again...NEVER!

I hear there is an abundance of guys at my gym who sit around naked, especially in the sauna. I've heard disturbing stories. The worst is Gym Guy (you all know Gym Guy, every gym has one) won't shower, just strips naked in the sink area and wipes down with a wash cloth.

ACK!!! this would scar me for life!

...and i would probably giggle A LOT more than i already do...hehe

This whole thread made me laugh out loud! Thanks.

And I am so glad I made a gym in my basement!!!

It's only the older middle-aged, and old ladies that are naked in my gym. They just strip right down then put on their clothes. I'm not comfortable being naked in front of strangers, so if there are people around, I take my swimsuit (or clothes, if I'm changing out of my suit) into the handicapped stall and change in there :blushing:

What is the real issue here? I think it's just hilarious that she does it. I would go every thursday and giggle to myself and make up stories about her naked escapades around the locker room.

I would make friends with her and play cards or something. Omg, that would be so awesome.

I live in an area with lots of European and Asian immigrants, which I think contributes to the fact that there's lots of nudity in the locker room at my gym, especially among the older women. It's no big deal, and I'm glad I got over my initial discomfort. There is a separate family changing room.

What IS disappointing is reading the posts that say it's especially bad if the woman isn't in shape. That's just ugly.

I think if they want to walk around naked doing whatever they need to do it at home or with other nudists. I'm not a prude (so you aren't either) I just don't need to see that.

lol ^^^agreed :P

When I was in high school I was very easily embarrassed and changed into my swimsuit for swim team in a bathroom stall instead of out in the open like everyone else. Now I live in a country where people regularly go to public baths together and sit for hours in their birthday suits while they dry off, do their hair, maybe even paint their nails. I've seen every age of woman naked now (and a few men because there are actually a few baths that are non-segregated by sex).

I've come to realise that it's just what I'd been taught to think growing up. Other people are taught differently or come to different conclusions themselves. Just because someone is walking around naked in a somewhat public place doesn't make them weird or an exhibitionist (as someone else suggested).

That being said, if you are uncomfortable, you're uncomfortable, so if you want to avoid going to the gym when she's there, that's your privilege. (^_^) <- smiley face

Like someone said earlier, it's just skin. Boobs, muff, and butt. You've got one too. Just do your thing and leave.

If she's not playing with herself, then what's the problem? Personally, I would find it quite empowering to see a woman who doesn't have a perfect body being so comfortable with herself, not feeling ashamed of her body. Maybe she has lost a good deal of weight and is more confident and happier with how she looks?

"Think of the children!" It would be healthy for young girls (and boys too) to see a range of women's bodies, as opposed to only seeing what the media says how women should look. Kids nowadays are bombarded with sexual imagery either through TV, billboards, magazines, or the internet. Using that naked lady in the locker room as a tool to initiate a conversation about healthy body image would be a good thing. Freaking out and covering your kids eyes like the human body is disgusting doesn't send the right message. Discussing how bodies are different, discussing how to love yourself and your body, and discussing appropriate nakedness (not okay to be naked on the street, more okay in the locker room, most okay at home) would be good conversations with children around this situation.

i don't mind ppl being naked, except that when they are skinny and gorgeous and haven't got any flaws, that's just unfair.

but wandering around for 15 minutes, that's just un-necessary. sure, get undress, have a shower, get dressed, whatever, but you don't have to prolong it... maybe they just like ppl staring at them.
