Let me tell you that the pajamafication of America is nothing compared to granny panties. I'm with She-Man and thank god my wife still shops at VS.
Are you trying to give me a heart attack before zones? Granny panties?! Not when I'm 100!! I'm already traumatized enough that I have had to eschew 3 inch heels because of my stupid foot ...
By "pajamafication," I meant the tendency of everyone of both genders nowadays to go about in baggy sweat pants and sweat suits looking like they're in their PJs. (Do guys really find that attractive? I mean, I can understand tolerating women in skin tight gym attire, but constant sweat suits? Ew, IMHO.)
Mark: There are many more men in the women's locker room!

Ummm...at least he's not peeing in the shower:D
But how do they watch you when you're sitting down to pee...:weightlifter:

There's a urinal adjacent to the showers. Bizarre configuration really, but quite entertaining for some "peeping toms".
Former Member
Uh, I think you're all peeing in the pool. At least that's what I've heard.
Objection your honor...hearsay. :)

Urinal etiquette is such a tricky thing: eyes front (but not downward), no "excessive" or vigorous movement allowed...anything else?
The men's locker-room is a pretty dull place compared to the women's. (Not that I would know anything about that.) Of course, we spend SO MUCH LESS TIME in the place than our lovely counterparts...how in the world one can stretch a 10 minute activity into 45 minutes is just beyond me.
Some of the male members of our senior club team and high school swim teams have been known to spend 30-45 minutes in the lockers/showers. What is the allure? Beats me.
Former Member
No doors? Okay.
We have the lockers right next to toilets as well. Nobody ever uses those lockers...at least not that I have ever witnessed.
Former Member
We've got not only that, but also none of the stalls have doors. Not the best scenario, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Who remembers swimming at East LA College in the 1970s and 1980s. No walls at all between the men's toilets. Nothing like seeing your competition on the pot next to you a few minutes before your heat... :eek:

Lots of work from homers here!
I too work from home and do not have a dress code. I live in Nike and Bebe Sport clothing. And Victoria's Secret for the hubby. Heck. I think that's really why I swim. I can wear that junk.
Then, my husband works in an industry (special effects/ 3D animation) where there is no dress code so he wears primarily jeans and Hawaiian tee shirts. He also sports long hair and a goatee.
We look like a couple of ragamuffins. It's awesome.

4! But I'm only reading the articles!
Fort, I had to give up heels for 10 years. Then I discovered Really Good Shoes and am back to teetering.
Agree on pajamification. America gave the world sportswear, that's our haute couture. Nice to visit Europe and see the effort made, pants that fit, color on men and women, a stylish scarf, and they are not walking down the street stuffing chips in their face out of a plastic bag.
Oh - big news for the Attaboy, Attagirl thread! I just did my first 50 yards of fly tonight! Someone on these forums, IIRC, mentioned the little outward scull at hand entry, so I tried it and everything clicked.
:applaud:
Back to you, gents!

I have a bad habit of always wearing a short sleeve t-shirt over a white long sleeve t-shirt with jeans or sweats. Not to work, but any other time. I feel like I should make more of an effort, but then again, who am I trying to impress.
My office is casual. A few of us wear jeans several days a week. Others dress business casual except jeans on Friday. There are 10 of us and no one ever comes to our office.
