Into their crack in the gym changing room!!

Jeez this person very smooth and tanned and altogether in very good shape - standing all body out - spraying something on her face. Then goes onto do a whole body creaming. Bending in this direction and that (me don't know where to put my face) leg up on the bench (no knickers on) then finally guys yep you got it rubbing cream onto her bum cheeks and then between her bum cheeks!!

Did I need to see that?!

Have I been missing out an essential moisturising area all these years, I suppose at least you get an extra squat in...

WorraLiberty · 13/08/2017 14:46

You know when you said you didn't know where to look?

How about away from her.

Problem solved.

user1495915742 · 13/08/2017 14:47

Maybe you should ask her if she was aware she had a large purple zit next to her bum hole? Grin

AnneGrommit · 13/08/2017 14:47

I know what you mean OP. I hate it when I get boy cream my bum crack.

Whiterabbitears · 13/08/2017 14:47

Is thing a thing now? A moisturised crack? Please tell me I'm not the only one here who has never done this or even thought about it?

Boy cream!Grin

Gah. Now my sassy little piss take has made me look like an illiterate fool.

Boy cream Grin

KungFuPandaWorksOut16 · 13/08/2017 14:49

I feel let down now by that title. I was expecting a totally different thread Grin

helpme85 · 13/08/2017 14:49

I think now you're making me think I wanted to look... maybe I was intrigued by this routine. I don't know - just it was all a bit of a show... lots of walking to and fro... even up the mirror and driers area (naked) maybe to check on a contact lense. Just a lot of nakedness.

She was probably just saying, "Look at me with my great body and my perfectly moisturised crack....".

Unbeknown to her, everyone around her was thinking, "What a tit".

OverTheHammer · 13/08/2017 14:53

And there was me wondering what the health benefits of running boy cream into the skin were - and where she acquired the boy cream whilst at the gym.

I put a lot of thought into this thread in the time it took to load up.

gelnames · 13/08/2017 14:54

That is why I would never join a gym again. I did once and lasted a month.

But then again I don't like the sort of competitive thing that goes on in them, and the clothing, and the preening, and all the rest of it.

So I walk for miles, and have a rowing machine in my garage.

I like to be solitary for those kinds of things.

I honestly hate gyms, sorry everyone. That's just me obv.

NicolasFlamel · 13/08/2017 14:56

Ewww boy cream between your butt cheeks!

MilkTwoSugarsThanks · 13/08/2017 14:56

You know when you said you didn't know where to look?

How about away from her.

While that is the logical solution I often find that the type of person OP is describing tends to take up a LOT of space, wandering around backwards and forwards... a female version of "manspreading" in a way.

You'll probably find a hell of a lot of people do moisturise at the gym but you don't notice because they just get on and do it.

Myrubbershoes · 13/08/2017 14:57

Grin Boy cream

I don't get this either. I'm no prude, but I was at the gym a couple if weeks ago and a lady got out the shower and walked naked to the benches. Fine. Then dried her hair with the towel. Fine, I guess. Then wandered over to her locker naked, got her bags out. Then wandered over to blow dry her hair - naked. After 20 mins of wandering around naked, she finally got dressed. I just do not get it!!!

MrJohnsonAteMyCustard · 13/08/2017 14:57

And who wants a sticky bum crack??

Unless that's your 'thing' Grin

Myrubbershoes · 13/08/2017 14:58

Not helped by my 4 yr old DD's constant comments of 'look at that ladys boobies mummy, look at that lady's bum bum' BlushGrin

OnionKnight · 13/08/2017 14:58

It sounds like competitive preening.

helpme85 · 13/08/2017 14:58

Thanks to those who sympathise - bleach is welcome

@OnionKnight that makes sense

Who wouldn't notice someone nude going through an extensive, thorough application of boy cream in a public facility? Grin

Unusual behaviour attracts attention. Brief functional nudity is normal in a changing room. Lingering around isn't.

For the same reason but opposite end of the scale, there was a particular friend who would go to such extensive, faffy lengths to not expose herself when changing in a dormitory would attract far more attention than if she'd simply whipped items off and replaced them in the usual manner that everyone else did.

DeathByMascara · 13/08/2017 15:02

A woman at the gym I used to go to spent a lot of time naked. I once saw her pluck her bikini line. Which was nice.

LockedOutOfMN · 13/08/2017 15:08

I wouldn't be offended by it, unless the changing room was very crowded and it would've been kinder to get out quickly rather than take up space.

I don't like to see people shaving their body hair in the gym changing rooms, but no issue with moisturising or generally being naked.

TeamCersei · 13/08/2017 15:13

It's fairly normal to put body cream on after a shower, isn't it? Maybe you could just not look?

Some of those changing rooms are very cramped.
So, It's very difficult not to look.

I had something similar happen. I turned around to put something in my gym bag, and this woman's arse was literally 12 inches from my face. She was doing the leg up on the bench thing as well (why the fuck do they do that) Confused

I don't buy this business of them being body confident.
I think it's more a case of having no social awareness and not understanding personal boundaries.

I don't want your manky ass in my face thanks.
If you do feel an urge to bend over, at least have a quick look around first and try and do it so your arse is facing the wall. Or something.
