Naked "old men" shaving in the locker room. Is this a new trend? The answer will SHOCK you!

The first thing no one wants to see when walking into a locker room is a naked, old man's butt!

The other morning when I walked into the locker room at the gym, the first thing I have to see was an older man standing at one of the sinks naked and shaving his face. OK...first of all, I don't even stand in my own bathroom naked in front of the mirror shaving my face, nonetheless in a gym locker room. COME ON! Wrap a towel about your butt! Not to mention when we men get older, one of the first things we lose is our butts! We develop "long back," that's where our backs start at our neck and end's at our knees, with only a crack in-between. Needless to say...it's not a pretty sight! I wouldn't be writing about this is if it was the first time or two it's happened...OHHH NOOOOO! It seems to be happening a lot more often, and not from just the same "old man." I'm not sure if they all had a meeting or what deal is, but what the hell! WHY?!?! What's wrong with a towel? Maybe put on your underwear or here's a novel idea, maybe shave while you're in the shower. And don't tell me you need a mirror to shave, you're 70+yrs old, I'm sure you can do it in the dark by now.
By the way...I have no problem with being naked. And if you know me at all, I'm not shy or bashful...I am in theater. :)
I have even been on stage in my underwear.  Ok, so it's long underwear...but it's still underwear! :) But why do older men (I'm talking mid- to late-60s to 80s) feel the need to walk around and do all sorts of excessive drying in a gym locker room? Another disturbing trend seems to be that they want to dry off their...mmm...well let's say..."junk" with the blow driers. WHY?!?! Once again that's what towels are used for.
 
What do you say to a naked Pastor?
​
I can remember walking into a locker room and running into a very well known Pastor who I had known through a number of city events. I was just walking in as he was walking back to his locker after showering, and it was at this time he decides to carry on a political conversation with me...of course, he has nothing on and doesn't feel the need to cover himself up, attempt to put on any clothes, or wrap the towel around himself. Once again, not a prude, not that shy myself, but I will tell you it is a little uncomfortable talking politics with a naked Pastor.
 
Even this morning! As I walked into the locker room...UGH!

Twas the day after Christmas,
I went to the gym.
I walked into the locker room,
and look around on a whim.
And what to my wandering eyes appear,
but a old man's butt standing naked,
shaving in the mirror.
 
So, what does this have to do with losing weight and getting in shape?

NOTHING!! But, come on guys! Do we really need to scare off people with strange locker room habits?!?! Nothing says that you can't wear underwear, or try wrapping a towel around yourself. Just because it's a guys locker room doesn't mean you have to be shaving at the sink naked, using a blow dryer on your balls, or carrying on a conversation without the slightest interest in putting any clothes on! COME ON! Think about the other guy...where are you supposed to look when talking politics with a naked Pastor?!?! Sometimes having a sense of humor is a good way to try and relieve the stress of thinking about losing weight and all the holiday tensions. Are you getting ready for The Chippewa Valley Challenge?!?!
