What is up with old men in gym locker rooms who always want to get in long conversations with other men while naked?

No I don’t think these old guys are gay.

Last evening I hit up my local gym and after my workout I had to change my clothes. There were two old men in the locker room getting in a long and loud conversation about college football while both were butt naked. They were both looking at each other too while talking.

I personally don’t like talking to other guys when they are changing or when I’m naked beyond anything necessary. I’ve been going to gyms, was a HS/college wrestler, former pro mma fighter and still train jiu jitsu. I’m very used to changing and being around naked dudes. However I still don’t like talking (while directly looking at them) while I’m disrobing in the locker room.

Anyway these old oblivious and “creepy” (I think the phrase “creepy” gets overused but they deserve it in this case) guys are just annoying as all hell. I often wonder if they even get any exercise done at all when they go to gyms. They often don’t know what they are doing in the weight room. They see the gym as a place to socialize or something else. I see it as a place to get a job done.

While do old men do this? I’m 42 now and I’m definitely no kid anymore. But I know I’ll never be like that.

I’ll get in conversations with guys in the locker room. But I sure I won’t look directly at them the same way I would look a clothed man in person outside the locker room.

But it’s always old guys doing this. Long conversations too. One guy sat down but naked on a chair while talking to the other guy. It’s similar how fat guys often to be most confident about going shirtless outside. Just gross.
