A question about gyms

:lol:

Just spend a bit of time in prison, Spiffo. After that you'll have no probs getting up close and personal with lathered-up blokes.

Jyms are a waste of money, whats the point of running on a treadmill when you can run around the block?

Maybe if the only time you can go running is in the middle of the day when it's too hot? Or after dark when it's not safe? Or if where you live is too hilly and you're not yet fit enough to deal with that? Or if you want to go for a run and it's pissing down with rain / hailing / snowing / raining fish / whatever? I do most of my exercise outside, but there are times when treadmills come in mighty handy...

Or maybe you'd prefer to do your resistance workout in a safe and controlled environment with qualified supervision? Or maybe you're not strong enough to have a lifting job and want to *get* stronger? Or maybe you hate the idea of having a job in manual labour but still want the overall health benefits which come from being stronger and having more muscle mass?

And the joint shower thing. A you homophobic or somthing. We have those showers at work and no one gives a shit.

Did it occur to you that for some people, it's not the fact that they don't want to see other men naked - it's that they are selfconscious and don't want other people to see *them* naked? So you don't give a shit, good for you old son, but some people get shy or embarrassed, and that doesn't make them a homophobe (not saying that's necessarily you Spiffo, just making a point).

Try being less closed-minded about things, it's good for you.

Correct. I actually walked from the city to Chermside once - was supposed to walk from the city to Taigum but two hours was enough, and my legs were chafed more than any rude analogy one can think of. :) I would want to get fit before attempting any long distance walking again - unfortunately, my neck of the woods isn't the most attractive neck around.

Correct. The only lifting I do is when I carry my department at work 7 hours a day.

It's a mixture of both for me. The fact that I loathe gay people might have something to do with it too. :p



That's a joke, btw. :)
 
Wenda, that reply made me crack up laughing, and you make some good points.
I think it a bit of a generational thing. The old guys have no problem standing around in changing rooms chatting for half an hour totally starkers. I don't mind communal showering but i would keep to myself and I at least wear a towel when i walk around in the changing room.
Most gyms have single showers anyway these days unless its a old school boxing gym or something.
 
Most guys these days are so fucking paranoid about their penis size. The line for toilets in pubs and clubs these days are long, and the urinal cue is shorter. I seriously doubt they all need to shit and do lines of coke.
 
I've noticed that about the urinal queues too! What's with that? I mean, I'm not going to tell you that I have to wrap my penis twice around my waist so I have nothing to worry about (mainly 'cos it's not true), and I'm not one to be running around communal showers, but one of the benifits of being a man is urinals! Why would you waste that opportunity?
 
I'm physically incapable of doing my business in a urinal if there's someone standing right next to me. It's not about worrying about him looking at my pecker or anything. It's really annoying if I'm busting because that means I either have to really squeeze the wee-wee out or pretend I'm done and then go to another public toilet. I always try to use the cubicles unless they're full.
