Lounge chairs and tv in the locker rooms......that is why I stopped
going to the Y to work out. There were guys hanging out in the weight
room to look cool and check out the few women that were there. but the
adsurd stuff in the locker room creeped me out of working out. There was
more than a handful of guys that just hung out in the locker room for
hours, watching TV in the nude! There isn't anything wrong with being
nude....but these guys needed to be working out, not just "hanging" out.

Yes. In my club they have a TV and lounge chairs in the locker room.
the
TV is always on and the chairs filled.

Look around, more and more guys are NOT working out. I think more women

ARE.

We are in middle of a crisis. I teach high school and last semester I
had 8
students with 25 percent or less in class. All guys. One day a student
(a
very overweight guy) was more than 60 minutes late. His reason: He fell

asleep at Wendy's after having lunch.

I think it was last summer the Oregonian published an article about how
more
and more women are becoming doctors, lawyers etc. More guys are college

drop outs.

It would be easy to call them LAZY. Really I think it has a lot to do
with
a lack of male influence in the home.
