This blog is supposed to be an online diary of travel and life abroad as a SAHD but occasionally, I like a rant that has absolutely nothing to do with these things, if nothing else other than to let off steam and ask those unanswered questions or have a moan. This post has also been inspired by a routine from one of the best British comedians Michael McIntyre. See
here when you have read below.
What is it about male changing rooms that I hate? Everything. I try to go to the gym when I can get time off from my man wife duties to try to relax. I pound the electric tread mill while watching Russian TV that I don't understand, I then quickly throw on my swimming shorts on and go for a swim, steam and Jacuzzi. I find myself looking at the younger Russian women, while I sit in the jacuzzi trying not to swallow the blue toxic bubbles. These women are nice to look at, I am old and it makes change from the half tone whales you see belly flopping into the pool, so forgive my private voyeurism. After this water peep ritual, I head on up to the men's locker room to wash and dress.This is a place that fills me with fear and dread.
Why is that men of all shapes and sizes prance and dance about with everything waving about like washing in the wind? They bend over, reach up and make phone calls, in the nude with their meat and two veg flapping about, short men, fat men, hairy men and bald men. The drying process is complicated and rather horrible. They towel off every area and dry every crevice and crack on their bodies with such vigor and joy, it really is disgusting to behold. Some stand buck naked in front of the mirror, while blow drying their hair and willies for hours. In the shower they lather up, soap their entire bodies while cleaning out their noses and spitting in the shower. As for me, I get in, shower and dry as quickly as possible and leave. Job done. The male body, best kept hidden in my opinion. I vote to change with the women much more interesting, less hairy and totally delicious. Rant over.
Dude, relax, let it swing in the breeze ;)
ReplyDeleteYou never know you might like it!
Let is all hang out and flap about :-)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I saw a guy the other day drying his hair for about 30 mins almost as long as my wife !!! Funny post thanks.
ReplyDeleteSad but so true :)
ReplyDeleteNot sure why, besides, but it seems the older and flappier they get, the more time they hang about butt naked. My personal favourite at my local gym still goes to that old (really) fat chap who spends half an hour naked on a chair with meat hanging out everywhere blow drying his...plastic sandals (flip flops)....
Nico life is funny even in a changing room. Some guys even blow dry the willies. I hate being naked in public but some people love it.
ReplyDeleteCan't add anything to mens locker room due to lack of experience :) But looking at the girlzzzzz Here is my idea "It doesn't matter where man gets his appetite as long as he eats at home:)" if you know what I mean .... :)
