It's all well and good to say just have everyone change in private enclosures. But that's not always practical. On a busy public swim at the leisure centre, there are 30-40 guys changing at a time. If everyone had to wait at some kind of private room, getting changed would go from a 5 minute procedure to a 15 minute one. The family change rooms usually have long waiting lines for that reason. It would suck if we had to reduce the capacity of change rooms by 50 per cent to cater to the neurosis of the most anxious users.

I do think some guys take the hanging out in the changeroom while naked to an extreme. However, I cant help but notice dudes who wrap a towel around their waist while wearing jeans and then change into their gym shorts or swimsuit under the towel while trying to hold the towel with one hand, sort out their clothes with the other and struggling to stay balanced. Its also hard not to notice the dudes who wear swimsuits in the shower. I try to mind my own business but behaviour different from the norm stands out.
No one cares what others do but I think the poster had it right saying that people have so much anxiety and neurosis these days. “Oh no someones gonna see my bare ass so I better keep it covered while I change and shower or better yet I wont shower.”
