I hate them

but dont mind them at the gym

although my old gym in london banned men from wearing vests 10 years ago

hunkermunker · 22/11/2005 12:21

Is this the men in the gym thing?

I think they should drape them with a pashmina.

Marina · 22/11/2005 12:22

No, they don't, but I must admit using a piece of gym equipment that is still moist from someone else's perspiration does [blech] emoticon

omg i thought you meant on women!

no, that wouldn't bother me at all!!! some people are mad.
actually, to clarify my first statement, i don't like hairy armpits on women, but if i saw someone with them it wouldn't offend me or anything

starlover · 22/11/2005 12:23

actually at the gym i used to go to they provided a cleaning spray and if you had been v.sweaty you were supposed to just give the equipment a spray and a wipe down

I can't go to gyms, I find the whole ambiance so yuk...but sight of hairy armpits is well, it's just normal isn't it?

That's just gross. I don't see why there can't be a tshirts only policy across the board - men and women.

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 22/11/2005 12:25

Think men in vests look gross anyway! And the thought of looking at a sweaty pair of pits, well, I can see their point!

starlover · 22/11/2005 12:25

really? even on men? do the people who don't like hairy armpits make their husbands/partners shave?

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 22/11/2005 12:32

It's different when it's someone you care for. I mean, I can look at dh's bits now without laughing (just about) but that doesn't mean to say that I want to look at other men's bits does it? Egh!

starlover · 22/11/2005 12:34

well i guess so. seriously though, if i am at the gym the last thing i am doing it looking around at people's armpits!

wouldn't bother me at all

CliffRichardSucksEggsinHell · 22/11/2005 12:34

If I'm at the gym then I at least I know it's just a nightmare and I'll wake up soon!

Gizmo · 22/11/2005 12:43

I wonder what would happen if I breastfeed publically in that gym while displaying my hairy armpits?

starlover · 22/11/2005 12:45

oh gizmo don't! lol
i used to work in a restaurant and this lady was in one summer just wearing a vest top. all of a sudden she just lifted the whole thing up, baring her boobs for the entire place to see, latched baby on and started feeding... AND she had the bushiest pits I ever saw!

now, i am totally fine with b/f in public... it was just a shock seeing these bra-less boobs being let loose in the middle of a rather staid national trust restaurant! pmsl

georginars · 22/11/2005 12:48

PMSL hunkermunker. Quick, call the police - I can see a hairy armpit and a flash (shudder) of male breast (lets face it, many men I see disporting themselves topless could give me a run for my money on breast size). Wonder if the police would pass on my complaints to them?

Gizmo · 22/11/2005 12:49

Maybe she should have knitted a small black hairy babygro for the baby - kinda to camouflague it.

OK, that's actually a pretty disgusting idea....
