Gay Showers!!

Havnt read any of this thread, but in my opinion the OP is vastly over reacting. You could just be flattered, politely decline and, oh i dont know, move on perhaps?
 
My personal opinion on it?

I wouldn't have given a monkeys. As long as he didn't actually try anything on, or overstep the line. Anyway why would he? I'd just give him a somewhat despondent look - it'd be clear he's just irritating me. Besides, I'd probably be somewhat narcissically flattered that someone thought I was good enough to eye up.

With regards to looking at women, well I'm too much of a gent to stare at a women and just generally gawp at them, though there's nothing wrong with a surreptitious look or two ;), and I would probably feel shyer having a woman stare me up and down - and probably be just as uncomfortable if I'm honest.

So as long as he didn't "try it on" so to speak I have to say that I'd have nothing to be wound up about. What if you hadn't noticed that he had seen you? What if all the men in the gym over the past 10 years have been eyeing you up and you hadn't noticed?

I think it's all a bit reactionary and a little sensationalist personally...
 
If a bloke looked at me like that in the shower I'd feel flattered.
I'd probably point at my willy and say "For women only" or something.
I've said before but I do get gay attention when I'm out with my band and I just thank them for asking and let them down slowly.
I can confirm that if gays try to chat you up you don't eventually turn into one.
You can be talking about curtains before you know it though.
Some of you need to get a life and worry about important things.

So what if he see you naked, why does he sexuality intimidate you?

Because of the repressed sexual attitudes that christianity has imposed on the western world since the fall of the roman empire. Thats why. Many people feel this way and as such it is a 'valid' feeling. It is exactly why we have male and female dressing rooms.

No you don't. We have male and female changing rooms though. So you're free to catch a glance at mans bits. Only way that is going to work is through segregation which is impossible since homosexuals don't exactly carry a sign round stating their gay.

I just find it incredible people have got really bent out of shape over someone who we 'presume' was interested in a bloke but did nothing about it.

I've had gay guys hit on me and I did not vomit\kick them in the nutsack. I just politely turned them down at which point all of them have just apologised and walked away. Can't see the harm personally.

I dont have a problem with it. What I do have a problem with is other people telling him that he is over-reacting, when it is the very feeling (attaching sexuality with nakedness) that western civilisation is built upon! Its so arrogant and hypocritical. To tell him that he is overreacting is to tell a woman that she is overreacting if a guy was looking at her naked for sexual arrousal. I would prefer it if nakedness wasnt an issue to anyone. Hell, I love walking around naked in my place and Im sure people have seen me, but so the hell what? It doesnt bother me. But, it does bother some and so you must listen to their valid concerns, to not would be to contradict this liberal society that the same people love to employ when it suits their argument.

Sensationalist – No!
Reactionary – maybe?


That fact that he deliberately raised an eye at me as he eyed my "*** nots" was a clear indication that he wasn't in anyway trying to be discrete about his personal thoughts or intentions. On the contrary, he couldn’t have made it any more obvious if he’s tried and it was that that made me feel a little un easy and why wouldn’t I.
 
hheheheheheehe this thread makes me laugh, i consider myself a very modern man (without being metrosexual with the whole prettying myself up to woman levels), i think the whole western society is waaaay too repressed about sex and nudity.

i know some people might somehow deny this but u were born nekid and if u want the species to continue some people will have to get it on at some point

both things are completely natural and shouldn't be shunned

as for gay people, ok so they wont be having kids any time soon, i dont want to use the word unnatural but its basic instinct to want to procreate... gay people will obviously not be doing this, but then neither are people that just dont want children.

Its all about choice, and good luck to everyone in whatever they decide

as for being checked out in the changing rooms, im not really comfortable with being in the same room as lots of other nekid blokes, i go home after working out without having a shower... this is my hangup though, in a more liberal society nobody would have a problem with being nekid with people from either gender/sexual preference.

It was in the news recently that a guy decided to walk across the country in the nude... and he got arrested like 20 times for his troubles, which is complete ******** that anyone walking around "as god made them" should be arrested for it.

ive realised ive ranted waaay too much... im told going to the gym is a good place to meet women, surely its also a good place to meet guys too, he gave u a suggestive eyebrow raise to show u he was interested... u didn't respond, no harm no foul :)

Fair enough but I still think getting that excited over it is a bit OTT. I guess it might have made me a bit uneasy, then again I don't think I'm the prettiest thing to look at anyway :p I'd have just ignored it, rolleyed my eyes at him and tell him to bugger off... which he might actually enjoy doing ;) I guess I don't let things like that bother me as much - I can't see you saying to him "kindly avert your eyes kind sir, as this behaviour is somewhat uncalled for..." it's just not Huddy-esque :p

Now that's a comment, worthy of bumping a two day old thread...

Hmm, not sure why you mention the age of the thread but not the content?

I thought dmp's comment summed it up very neatly.
I take it you disagree?
