Naked at the gym, Pants Falling down and 2 days to go!

So, I am all ready to go to my other home on Saturday. I am very very pleased about this. So pleased in fact, that I awoke this morning and a great big grin spread across my face.... and I set about cleaning the house humming a little tune the entire time. Then I went to the gym. It was a good workout but the yoga pants I bought were too big so all the while I was running they were trying to fall down. Which was funny but annoying.

Then when I went into the change room I was greeted by a woman who was fully nude. I'm talking full on nekkid. Walking through the change room strutting her stuff with a towel in her hand. I mean I get it - you're proud of your body and comfortable with it. I'm so happy for you - really. But golly. Put the towel on. I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU NEKKID. Yikes. It'd be different if she were simply changing but she was just strolling around la de dum.

I would never do that. I wonder if it's different for guys. Do they have any more discretion than women? Or are they all like BAM, check this out - how ya like me now?

i am the diva said...

hm, that's a little, uhm... awkward... i thought that only old ladies in their 60s and 70s at the public pool did this?? but at the gym?

Verdant Earl said...

Hmm...in my head, I always pictured all the women in locker rooms to be completely naked.

Another teenage fantasy ruined!

melanie - no kidding. We should work on one... I would actually post it.

elizabeth said...

Diva - NOPE. That I wouldn't mind so much, lol. They've earned the right... this lady notsomuch

elizabeth said...

Earl - sorry to be the one to ruin it for you man ;-)

Blokes, at least here in the UK, tend to get naked in the gym change room. Maybe not in a strutting around kinda way but during showers and changing. If you make too big a show of keeping covered, it looks like you've got something to hide maybe... Not sure.

Ruby said...

you're moving to your other home?? i'm confused.

elizabeth said...

stef - right. I get that. But this was different. She wasn't showering or getting dressed. She was walking around - and actually talking to people that she knew. It was a little oddish.

ruby - well. Yeah. Me too. lol. I spend a lot of time where my boyfriend lives... so it's the "other home" ;-)

Earl does this exact same thing every time he comes over my house..

elizabeth said...

He said the same thing about you.

Kat said...

Maybe she's a nudest.
I always find it's the older, wrinklier, saggier ones that like to be naked. Sorry earl. Take what you can get maybe?

Argh the chaste secrets of the Gentleman's Changing Room. It's that icy balance between not being all Catholic-guilt ashamed of my body and being all boastfully "hey, guys, did I get the looooong DNA straw or what?"

So usually we compromise - you can do naked a bit, but everyone must studiously not look, ever.

elizabeth said...

kat - could you imagine if they had actual nudist gyms. I don't think I'd wanna see that...

bobo - ahhhhaa! Maybe that's it. We aren't supposed to notice. Kind of hard not to though all things considered...
