Does anyone hate locker rooms?

I'm not homophobic like the OP but sometimes I don't understand other guys either at the gym. For example:

1. Guy comes out of the shower and has towel wrapped around his waist and then before he walks over to the scale he whips off his towel and weighs himself naked like the towel is going to making any difference and besides he still has man boobs.

2. Guy shaving or ironing his clothes naked. Why don't you just put on a pair of shorts or atleast your underwear and do that. You would think they do this cause they can't prance around naked at home cause the kids might see or something.

It's things like this that I can't help but to look the other direction or up at the ceiling as I am trying my best to change or get the hell out!

Put me in the "uncomfortable being naked in front of guys" column as well... I have no issue with nakedness in front of women,

Years ago, my then girlfriend and I decided to try out a nudist camp for one day just for the heck of it. I was doing ok (not great) until we stumbled upon a group of 14-15 year old girls. That really made me uncomfortable. Have never tried nudist camps since then.
 
I think we need to get over this whole Victorian nudity thing in North America and adopt the much more practical total lack of attitude exhibited in most European countries (Germany and Denmark come to mind).
I guess what I am trying to say to all who are concerned is ...grow up.

HAHAHA- I see your point... which is why I said WOMEN! ;)

Petitelover... you're homophobic

He's NOT homophobic. Many, including myself, find some people's behavior in locker rooms odd and unnecessary.

It was nice to see many of us feel the same way. For goodness sake, IMO my GYM should just let me change and shower in the woman's locker room and that would solve all my problems.

Actually I was uncomfortable both ways (being seen naked by teen girls and also seeing naked teen girls). Does a girl become a woman at age 18?

Very good question! I believe so- in the eyes of the law at least... I'm sure I will feel differently when my daughters are that age though!:(

Two completely different issues.

  1. The both of you are obviously insecure about your bodies.
  2. Most of us also find some people's behaviour in lockers rooms odd and unncessary. But what does that have to do with us? Go let them be freaks of nature... just like on Terb. :p

I am not insecure about my body at all. I don't see the need to walk around the locker room totally naked with my manhood dangling around to feel secure. As other posters stated, putting a towel around yourself while shaving or weighing yourself seems appropriate. As far as other people's behavior - yes, I do find it bothersome when a naked man walks up to me to have a lengthy discussion about something. Is putting a towel around ones waist or underpants on too much to ask?
