Too much Nekkidness at the gym!

[Hoosierdood]

I just have to rant about all the old guys that frequent my gym who apparently have NO SHAME when it comes to parading their wrinkled, hairy, fat bodies around the locker room. Now, I'm no prude in the locker room, and I understand that you have to get changed, and will see some disturbing things at times, but it seems that the guys at my gym go a little overboard.

A couple examples: sitting in the hot tub relaxing after a workout a month or so ago, this guy comes in completely naked as a jay bird and climbs into the tub with me. Sorry man, but I don't swing that way.

Then just this morning, my wife and I went to the gym after dropping the kids off at school. Of course Monday morning is packed with the senior citizens who just sit around drinking coffee. After my workout, I hit the locker room and decide to soak in the hot tub. It was actually quite relaxing since I was the only one in there. About 5 minutes later this guy comes from the showers and stops right at the steps to the hot tub and says "It's kinda like a big bath tub, huh?" I open my eyes and there stands this 60 something year old man in all his glory using his towel to dry his grey hair. (did I mention he was bald?) He then takes his towel, throws it over his shoulder and continues to talk to me for about 5 minutes. I tried to use the chlorine in the hot tub to bleach my eyes, but it didn't help at all.

The locker room also has a lounge area with some nice leather couches and a television. On my way out of the locker room, I have to pass through the lounge, and there sits another 70 something guy (probably about 275-300 lbs.) stark naked sitting in the chair reading a magazine.

I complained at the front desk, but it seems like every time I go to the gym, there has to be at least one guy like this. I mean for the love of all that is right, WRAP A TOWEL AROUND IT MAN!! I'm not afraid of seeing a little guy flesh every now and then, but this is ridiculous.

Rant Off.

It's always the old guys. I used to be a member at Cardinal Fitness before switching to a 24 hour gym with private bathrooms. The old guys at Cardinal would always wander around naked wanting to **** chat with you. Put your pants on and then we can talk.

EDIT: Apparently C H I T is a naughty word on INGO.

Solution?

Use the women's locker room.

You're welcome.

 

[Rookie]

Seriously? I wonder what that dirty word means?

 

[ATOMonkey]

I think you need to stop hanging out in the locker room so much.

Could be deeper issues there???

According to my wife, it's not much better with the old women over there.

Reason #2753423 why I bought a house with space for a home gym.

Anything has got to be better than wrinkled dongs waving at you.

I don't think it's that they have no shame, I think they're just too old to care anymore.

That's pretty low on the list.

Get used to it LOL for some reason the older you get the less you care from what ive seen not experienced(20). Basically I think it finally hits that "hey everyones got the same stuff so no one should care" attitude. I would swim before high school and it was pretty much the same too with all the teachers. The thing is im pretty much already at that point as well after 7 years of swimming for almost half the year and now cycling of course everyone thought I was the weird guy on the team as was the only one that liked speedos.

I wear my workout clothing with me so I don't have to visit a locker room..plus I go at 0400 hrs so I don't have to see anyone else at all.

I don't know what it is, but it's disgusting.

I once walked into the locker room to see a naked, old man trimming his nose hair in the mirror with his wrinkly balls sitting on the sink.

I just turned my head and walked away without saying anything, but I couldn't help but think to myself, "excuse me, but can you get for ****ing nasty ass old balls off of the sink that people wash their hands?"

Things must be different these days. All through school we always showered in open shower rooms. We usually had dividers for the toliets but not doors. Some of the old military installations didn't even have dividers. I guess it was so common that I never thought anything about it. I was always told that the girls bathrooms were a lot more private. As much as I thought about girls, I really didn't care what their shower room was like.

So the modern standard of politeness is to keep covered even in the locker room?

 

[Hoosierdood]

I see you've been to my gym recently.

 

[femurphy77]

Ah yes young buffs but just remember that you too shall be old and quite possibly wrinkled one day too!

As an old, wise, wrinkled and bald Chinese man, I am at one with the universe and my nekkid body.

Although, as a blind man, I must admit that it is still slightly awkward when I bump into people who are bent over tying their shoes in the locker room.

 

[Rookie]

Just don't bump into me repeatedly again.
