Locker-room Ladies!! "Every kind of woman is represented in the changing-room – it's like the United Nations for gym bunnies." Which one are you?
This post was deleted for the following reason: pretty thin article from some cheesy magazine, not really up to snuff.
Yeah, you had my expectations set pretty high!
Remind me to post about the wild African pussy that you can bag, and link to a safari hunting guide's site.

I haven't been in a gym changing room since high school, but none of the "types" are me... I wasn't an exhibitionist, but I wasn't the extreme opposite (the toilet changer) either... I, and most of my classmates, learned the fine art of undressing/redressing under our oversized towels.

Uhhhh the very existence of this article proves my particular locker room type: the "I will sit here puttering with my MP3 until you leave because you are possibly an untalented blogger type" type.
What a load of shit.
I do love how every scale in every locker room I've ever been in has "~5 pounds off!!" scrawled with a nail file on it.

All nations cannot be described as "gym bunnies," in other words. I am your gym Egypt. A gym jackal?

I was going to comment on the article, but the site design was so clean and elegant I never got around to reading it. Luckily I think I'm going to win R1,000,000 at the LottoMadness Progressive Jackpot African Palace Casino.

iconsequentalist: Looking at this and your last post (which was removed) I really think you should hold off on the Post button until you get a better sense of this place.
There's no quality in this link. Its a throw-away fluff post from a magazine.

Sometimes I think about writing for magazines.
Then, I read some magazine articles, and realize that -- hey, wait! Everyone on MetaFilter could have written that.
The trick, like so many things, is to look someone in the eye and tell them they need to pay you for your drivel. Kim Richter's figured it out! That is what I will take away from this post.

Wait a minute, the locker rooms I've read about in Penthouse are much more exciting than the one she describes.
I don't want to live in a world where Robert Charles Joseph Edward Sabatini Guccione 's locker room is trumped by the one in this article.

Eponysterical.
And the article missed out
The sprayer, a teenaged girl who is so embarrassed of her body that she does not shower at all, but sprays herself and all around her with deodorant then walks out in the clothes she's worn to the gym. This character is closely related to The contortionist, who is capable of putting her gym clothes on underneath her work clothes and then taking of the work clothes (on the way into the gym); and doing the same in reverse on the way out.

Well if nothing else, this article is testimony to the achievements of the New South Africa. Viva.

What, no shoe-thumper, shouting "We will bury you!" at everyone else in the locker room? What kind of UN is this?

Actually, drivel like that is really difficult to write. First, you need to be able to identify the precise sort of drivel that someone will purchase. That's not easy, as most of us humans tend to seek meaning out of randomness. Being able to find randomness in randomness isn't easy at all. It's a bit like Where's Wally, only without the Wally.
(Note: I think our USAsian cousins refer to Wally as Waldo.)

(vacapinta, although the wording makes it sound like it's gonna be full of NSFW goodness(?), it's not all that bad as FPP fodder goes.)
The "United Nations" quip made me ponder afresh: I thought it was just USians that are weird about changing clothes and showering around people they don't know, but I guess it's more universal. (Somebody more erudite than I could probably put together a pretty good FPP about nudity and self-image issues as they intersect with fitness and athletics.)
Having been a gym rat at various times, I aver that guys do some of this sort of stuff too, although we're subtler about it, and the overwhelming majority of us are pretty businesslike about changing, showering, and getting on to whatever else.

It's always great to see professional (?) writers starting sentences with, "But, that being said, ..." Might as well throw in some LOLs and smiley faces too. We can call it "modern writing for the internet era" or something.
... And then burn it.

Always good to see women slagging each other (us men-folk are awful busy killing tanned people in the desert) and promulgating defeatist and just plain mean labels to promote a whole new generation of self-loathing young people!
Then you can keep buying more lip gloss (while we finish up killing tanned people in the desert...) and make us feel really goooood about ourselves even while you are taught to hate anything about yourself that doesn't fit our unattainable images of your sex!
Win-win!
Carry on!
