Tkae for example the fat guys who take off their shirts at the beach, the fat women in spandex, damn near ANYONE in a speedo…

But a THIN woman in spandex is ok? In other words, wearing spandex isn’t in itself somehow wrong, just not looking “good enough” in it is. Well, as a card carrying “Fat Woman” let me tell you that spandex is one of the very few things that is comfortable to wear, and also doesn’t chafe as a lot of other things do (mostly by allowing skin/skin rubbing). It also provides support which makes a lot of difference in how comfortable you are. I do so apologize if my allowing myself to dress comfortably offends your poor eyes. :rolleyes:

I do not go into locker rooms. I don’t like to sit where people’s naked sweating butts have been [and whatever else lands on the benches].
I got some video cameras though, for the computer, went around the public video chat rooms but gave that up too. Why? Too many guys sitting naked in front of their camera’s jerking off in the public G rated video chat rooms. sigh.
I’ll answer the OP, and skip the the debate about clothing options for heafty people.
When I work out at the Y, and I’m in the locker room changing, I could care less if I make sure my towel is wrapped firmly around my waist. If it slips, I don’t shreik and grab for it. That sort of behavior I left behind when I was 13 or so. I don’t spend my time staring at the other men, or worrying that they are starting at me.
I guess it comes down to how comfortable you are with yourself, and how tolerant you are of other people. While I won’t want some guy waving his “package” in my face, I could care less if he doesn’t feel like wrapping his towel around him on the way back from the shower. I have a 34 inch waist, and some of the damn towels don’t fit around me…let alone some of the other guys there.
You might not have realized this, but there is no law that says when you go into a locker room that you have to sit down. Just thought I’d let you know.

Several years ago, I started going to aerobics classes, and later got certified to teach. My point is, I spent a few years in the locker room. At first, I was very self-conscious and was also very conscious of everyone around me, too.
You get over it. After a while, you’ve seen everything, and the nudity doesn’t really even register. In fact, it used to make me glad to see heavier women in the locker room. They were there to work out, and it took a lot of courage to be “casually naked” in the face of so much disapprobation.
I guess after having worked as an art model in college, the whole issue of body modesty seems a little . . . pointless to me. Sure, there are times when it’s inappropriate, and there are circumstances when a little care in one’s appearance goes a long way, but personally, I rank happiness and comfort way above dress code and don’t have a big problem with other people who do so as well.
Actually, they ARE all that, and then some. I just had a poor choice of words. But thanks to THAT comment, you’ll never get to see. [sticking tongue out] So there![/sticking tongue out]
