One of my former best friends used to wear that all the time. He's gay, so he probably can't say much about it doing any good with the ladies, but he seemed to have much more 'man candy' after him than usual, lol. I'll look into buying some of this. What's the smell like? Fruity? Musky? Masculine?

I hate the dudes that get on the scale naked. It's bad enough you're walking around the locker room for 30 minutes flaunting the giggle berries but are you really that self-conscious that you can't accept wearing a towel, or your underwear for crying out loud while you weigh in? Even boxers still have...well...boxers on when they weigh in.

There were a couple of old guys (ugh, I know) who always did this at my gym. I haven't been since last summer due to some unfortunate events, but if they haven't bitten the dust yet, then I'll [unfortunately] see them when I go back within the next few weeks. They'd strip naked, walk around, weigh themselves, shower, walk around naked a little more, and finally get dressed and leave.

It's called, being respectful and having courtesy for others. Steroids have nothing to do with it.

The unflushed toilet full of feces bothers me, but at least the shyt is actually in the toilet and all you have to do is flush it. I've seen people leave piss on the actual toilet seat. If that's how they treat their toilet at home, then that's fine. But don't do it at the gym. If you dribble on the seat, then at least use some toilet paper to wipe it up.

I understand, but some of the things that people list in this thread is ridiculous. It seems they feel the gym should only cater to them and all the equipment is for them and no one else.

Did I miss something today? Is it National Walk around Naked day? I swear to you, I walked into the locker room today after my workout and EVERY single person in the locker room was butt naked or wearing a towel. I thought I had accidentally walked into an Eastern European sauna...:blink:

That kinda gets me going, but I just ignore that too. Typically old men think that it is ok to walk around and chit-chat like that as if no one else but them are in the locker room.

Fortunately its been a good month since I've walked in on the locker room bandit at my gym. Wrinkled old balls flopped on the bench....the SAME bench everyone elses naked balls are flopped down upon. The SAME bench I won't ****ing sit on no matter the situation. I'm not into rubbing taints directly or indirectly.

Every kind of hair, bacteria, odor, and molecule of testosterone is floating around these locker rooms of ours. :lol:

Oh you guys dont have the worst of it. I work out at a College Rec center, so you havent seen anything till their is a group of Sigma Gays or whatever all with cut-off shirts, flat-billed hats to the side, cologne on, and dont do a single lift.
I also hate how no one literally sweats at the gym. I sweat alot and people stare like OMG he actually has done something in the gym. Apparently i didnt get the memo but the gym is for chatting it up and looking at yourself in the mirror.
There are also some pretty big guys in the school who stand around and try to stare you down. I tend to look around after a set, cuz i dont wanna stare at myself in the mirror, but when i do they automatically make eye contact and force me to look away.
BUT, the biggest thing that ticks me off is this one guy that always comes in. He weighs maybe 150, and comes in with gloves on and cell phone in hand. I have seen him in the gym probably 100 times and he benches every time. He literally sits on the bench and talks on the cell phone at 630am, im like who is up right now? Ill finish my shoulder workout and he will be on his 3rd set of horrible form 190 lbs pushing out like 2 reps. The first time i saw him like 7 months ago he was benching 185, now 7 months later 190.....wow. Ive gone from 225 to like 260 in that same time period.
Trust me any gym is better than a university rec center... any even Australian's gay gym. PS we have the locker room bandits, usually administrators, professors, or alumni.

Where did you find that avi of Mugatu? I tried for a while to find one when the movie came out, and still haven't found much of anything Zoolander related...
:wtf:

One of these days, I should just act like I belong on campus (I could definitely pass for a college kid, though I've been mistaken to be at least a few years older than I actually am --- I'm hardly ever carded) and go workout in their gym. I'd most likely bump into my college ex and she'd see what she's been missing all this time --- in action, lol. I'm curious to see what kind of college kids go in there. I don't see too many people walk in and out of there. Guys, at least. It's usually the girls. Things should be interesting.

I'm a very laid back and mellow person, but goddamn, I can get pissed off. I have quite a temper at times (sometimes violent, unfortunately), but I usually can keep my cool. I tend to bottle things up. I live by that, "I'm a lover, not a fighter," motto, but I'm known for expressing tough love at times. But when it comes to stupidity, I can't just stand there and say or do nothing.
For example: the prick on the cell phone. He's hogging the bench. Some of the people at my gym tend to hog the bench. They'll do a set, get up, walk around, get a drink, chat someone up, etc. Meanwhile, you're waiting to push out some reps on the bench before completing your lifting session. I'd tell motor-mouth to go have safe text elsewhere and let me put the bench to good use. I've also been stared down by monstrous guys as well, but I don't turn away. I'll give them a look like, "What the fcuk's your problem!?" They'll eventually roll their eyes and look away. They're jackasses. Fcuk 'em.
I could be wrong, but I swear I've seen and heard this before. Some guy was curling with some dumbbells. Once he was finished, he stood in front of the mirror, looked at himself, pulled his spandex shorts high up, flexed his arms, and kissed his biceps. He must've thought he looked pretty man-tastic.

I just googled mugatu on google images. Though i have this Avi on other boards, so i searched awhile back and just had it on my hard drive.
