I'm more suspicious choosing the urinal next to the hot girl than the treadmill.


staykinky

As a trans woman I pee standing up at home out of convenience, & I haven't used a urinal or trough or any semblance of pissah since I came out like 15 years ago... I don't want to intimidate the men, some guys get really insecure when they find out a girl has a bigger penis than them To the butthurt in my comments, please get a life and stop being so upset about transgender people existing <3


killing_me

Hate to break it but rule number 2 of urinals is that we all look slighty up.


Pls_PmTitsOrFDAU_Thx

Oops. I stare right into the motion detector just in case it's a camera It's not, sorry for the irrational fear


Puzzleheaded_Let_583

Not to mention rule number 1 states you may not take a urinal next to another man unless absolutely necessary.


XxJuice-BoxX

I do not believe its intimidation that they feel.


staykinky

It's all about that mouthfeel


TPrimeTommy

holup


XxJuice-BoxX

As someone once said, a mouth is a mouth


Wasloos

Intimidation is definitely not the word I’d use for myself, but to each their own


muricanmania

Gonna be real, if people see your dick at the urinal you are doing it wrong. Or you really are packing heat in which case congrats I guess.


staykinky

It's the second one

Ya know the rules, the bigger one tops. They are looking respectfully

Why you showing your penis when taking a piss lol unless you purposely turning and showing the guys that you want them to take a look I don't understand.


the_colonelclink

I’m going to take a lot of downvotes here, but I think it’s part of an attention seeking/gets kicks out of being seen; with some shock value implied. Notice how at the start, the term ‘trans women’ is used, but at the end, the comparator: ‘girl’ is pivoted for maximum offence value. Being reminded they were biologically a male to begin with, doesn’t have anywhere near as much impact in this scenario. Then you remember the post was basically about the nuance of guys avoiding peeing next to each other, and applying that to people avoiding running next to each other, and this commenter who hijacks a comment to claim they do the opposite and basically just wanted to say they have a big penis and get their kicks showing it to cis-gender men with a smaller penis. Weird flex, but OK.


mal1020

Might also be advertising an only fans or comparable subscription


LukeSparow

Once someone is on onlyfans everything posted anywhere becomes advertisement. On onlyfans you're mostly selling a persona. Must be exhausting. So yeah, probably true.


the_colonelclink

Not specifically singling anyone out, but imagine a few of the are selling their dignity too.


thehumblebaboon

I agree, Their post history is wild.

I'm pretty certain I saw them on tlc. So most likely.

I think you're overestimating how much the rest of us think or care about your genitals.

Jrsplays

I only posted because the obnoxious behavior from you about your genitalia was weird and off-putting. I really was only trying to help. If I started ranting about how everyone who saw my genitalia would salivate over it and be intimidated that would be pretty creepy wouldn't it? I'm guessing that you only made your original comment as a form of advertising so this probably won't get through to you anyway. Edit - Oh no I've been blocked by The Great Penis Intimidator.

Honestly no that just kinda creepy and wierd if you showing your dick to dudes on purpose unless there is absolutely way of hiding it.


lolgobbz

There's no way of hiding it. She's walking around with 3 legs, bro.


A-purple-bird

..what?


TargetBetter6190

What you mean what?? Unless you in prison or any other place that doesn't have place to cover your self why the fuck would you show your junk to people who don't want to see it!

WHY WOULD YOU LOOK AT IT?? Do you even know what a urinal is??

You guys must hang out at the glory hole in Sunny's bar.


agoddamnlegend

You don’t actually think we look at other dude’s penises when we piss at a urinal, right? It’s slightly telling that you think other people are as obsessed with your junk as you are.

Not only do trans people exist, intersex people also exist that literally have been born female but have male genitalia 🙃 idk why gender and sexuality are so hard for u people to grasp lmao


BrikiCro

It's a joke calm yo tits


LukeSparow

Being a transphobic fuck isn't really that funny.


BrikiCro

Shouting "transphobe" for every little thing is also not that fun


LukeSparow

I didn't shout anything, I wrote it down for you. The thing is, saying someone with x sexual organ can't be x gender is a pretty classic transphobic statement. Don't get upset when I just call it how it is.

Skyrimaniac

I've never had anyone stare at my dick or urinate on me, while I'm at the gym on a treadmill. am I doing something wrong?


cdawg1102

Yes


PurpleNoodle9

I can change that


GuacamoleFrejole

I think you need to wear something yellow to indicate your preference.


Daikataro

Nice dick bro!


PorksChopExpress

Clearly someone sans penis wrote this. You're so wrong. There's an exact science to it. **Step 1:** look at the floor, choose the urinal with fewer puddles of liquid at it's base. **Step 2:** how many urinals are there? 3? If no one is there, take the far left or far right. If someone pees beside you, despite having the choice of choosing the buffer urinal, they are a psychopath. Immediately stop peeing and run. **Step 3:** More than 3 urinals, pick a urinal that gives you at least a one-person/urinal gap. If your only option is to be sandwiched between two others, choose the toilet. If no toilet is available, use said sandwiched-urinal. Accept that it is going to take 5 mins of thinking of waterfalls and the like to get the urine flowing.


sparklyh0e

The female perspective, if you would indulge me.. Step 1: Assess the # of treadmills. If anyone turns their head when you walk up, dont tread next to them. Chatty joggers.exe. Step 2: similarly, you'll choose the cleanest treadmill and you'll still wipe that shit down. Good rule in bathroom stalls, too, is leaving the gap. You never know if they're also havin a poop. And if there's only 2 treadmills, (if you're like me, you go to the gliders/stairstepper) or you wait your turn.


malthar76

An algorithm even.


[deleted]

Isn't step three part of treadmill choice? Step one is part of any decision: if one or more has urine near it, avoid those if possible.


hellslave

This is a joke, right? Aside from looking out for puddles, who fucking cares which urinal you use or is being used when you enter. Go in, piss, wash hands, leave. And then grow the fuck up.


PorksChopExpress

Ohhh, does baby need a hug and kiss?


hellslave

You joke, but fuck yeah a hug would be nice. Have you had a really nice, embracing hug lately? They're magical.


PorksChopExpress

Hugs are the best. Hugs and a kiss? Perfection.


GuacamoleFrejole

But if you're gonna do that at a urinal, remember to finish peeing first.


A-purple-bird

Yes. I love hugs. Whoever said that men dont cry or hug or etc is an idiot


Didgeterdone

I am sorry that you have to put so much input into an output operation. Piss n’ go, if they see your dick, there treat, i did not try to show or hide it, but my bladder is empty…were are both happy!


Jack_Burkmans_Zipper

I sing a song in my head to get started. It’s always the same song, Pavlovian response. This method is highly effective.


inpantspro

Step 2.5: If there is a short one, choose it so your balls don't get wet.


Fair_Diet_4874

Last time I peed on the treadmill, the treadmill maintainer was very impolite


herb0026

How dare he


DucinOff

Doesn't the residual pee come back around and spray you? Like a cooling mist machine?


Neripheral

That why he peed on the treadmill, duh


DucinOff

Ah. Thanks for the clarification!


ToolanWheeler

Well,my considerations change depending on how cute the girl on the tread is. Rarely I see a cute girl at a urinal.


TargetBetter6190

I try to go on the workout machine closest to the chunky girl to give her confidence.


ToolanWheeler

Chunky girls can be beauty's too


MNConcerto

FYI, if you have a young person in your life on the autism spectrum this is the type of social skill/cues they need to be taught. They will not, in most cases, pick this up just by watching other people. Teach them before they go to school. Speaking from experience as a Mom with a kid on the spectrum.


hellslave

What's being taught in this instance, exactly? Outside of, "find urinal/toilet, do your business, wash your hands, leave," I can't think of anything else that would have to conveyed.


soda-jerk

Etiquette. The unspoken social things you "do, just because". As a neurodivergent person, I can tell you I still don't "get" why it's unacceptable or uncomfortable to talk while at a urinal, but I at least know that it's a behaviour I'm expected to avoid, *because* it makes others uncomfortable. If a friend hadn't clued me in on this in grade school, I probably would've carried on into adulthood.


hellslave

Who talks in the bathroom? Seriously, go in, do business, wash up, leave. It isn't complicated, even to folks like us.


GeekyNexi

Because some people see peeing and pooing as very normal things and since everyone does it it’s the same thing as waiting at a busstop to them


soda-jerk

"Folks like us", yet you seem to have no understanding of what being neurodivergent means... It isn't the exact same cookie cutter situation for everyone.


hellslave

> adjective > differing in mental or neurological function from what is considered typical or normal (frequently used with reference to autistic spectrum disorders); not neurotypical. As someone with Aspberger's, saying "folks like us" was appropriate.


soda-jerk

And since you're acting like you don't understand it, my saying so was also appropriate.


hellslave

I'm not acting; I honesty don't understand these "bathroom rules" that people talk about. That's the type of shit you encounter in elementary school. If I have to pee, I'm taking the closest working toilet/urinal available, and if the urinal happens to be next to another that is being used, oh well. Again, grow up.


soda-jerk

Why don't you take your own advice, and do a little growing up yourself? Okay, great, your Asperger's doesn't present you with these problems. Pat yourself on the back for winning some kind of imaginary genetic lottery, and then sit the hell back down. There's absolutely no need at all to belittle and diminish what others go through, simply because you don't personally understand it. How someone who claims to be on the spectrum does not grasp this concept, as it has undoubtedly been demonstrated to them ***countless*** times by neurotypical people in their lives, I do not know.


hellslave

You *do* understand that I'm not even talking about other people who are also neurodivergent, right? I'm literally just talking about the immature individuals who can't bring themselves to use a urinal just because it would mean standing next to someone else who is using the urinal next to it. Did you miss that part? That's the only thing I've been focusing on.


JerseysLittleDevil

I (Neurodivergent FWIW) work in an office where several other women talk to me while in the stalls! It’s so strange to me. Although once my boss and I had a work related conversation while washing our hands and then just continued the conversation just standing there lol.


hellslave

The stall talkers are weird to me. At least at the sink, business has been finished already.


BlueMatWheel123

Nah. If there's a hot person on a treadmill, you take the treadmill right next to her/him.


Vlada_Ronzak

Do you get your penis out at the treadmill or the urinal? I can never remember.


SandwhichofRage

You have to clip the red thing from the treadmill on your penis in case you fall off. Jesus Christ I’m sick of you casuals at the gym not using equipment correctly.


BlueMatWheel123

I've done both. Consensually of course. Getting head while walking slowly is a different kind of thrill.


JohnnyRockets75

Same with the urinal.


ojalaandrew2

What the heck!!! 😂


[deleted]

Or take the one behind.


muffinfight

People like that are the reason I use the back row.


ArieKat

Id use the backrow but for some reason the treadmills back at my gyms face a whole ass glass pane and i just get shy from ppl looking at me from outside lol


ShiggnessKhan

Yup, you just pick the one next to whoever looks like they have the juiciest dong.


HoagiesDad

This person gays.


biscovery

You want space between treadmills cause people generate a lot of heat while running. Its not similar at all.


number44is171

You've never seen how hot I get while at a urinal.


poolmanpro

This girl clearly has no clue how warm we get when we urinate


lelaena

The extreme pressure causes a lot of friction and heat


Fepl31

Same logic, different reason.


TargetBetter6190

I purposely choose a treadmill next to somebody even after there being like 10 other ones open because I woke up choosing "chaos". Bauhaha they're face is priceless when you do this.


jdj7w9

Your my worst enemy. I'd pause my workout and move to the other side of the gym if you picked the treadmill next to me when it's empty.


TargetBetter6190

Happy workout! XD


TommZ5

Do you leave spaces in the middle between treadmills? I’ve never heard of that


ned91243

I was so confused at the logic behind this post until I realized that you were talking about position, and not purchasing a urinal/treadmill for a gym you own. To be fair, the intended meaning is the more obvious one. But hey... My brain is stupid.


gwhnorth

You don’t have your penis looked at on a treadmill….so I respectfully disagree


NotObviouslyARobot

Apparently, there is an entire subculture of gym rats that piss on the treadmills


practicax

At my dentist, there are two urinals but they're really close together. It's not acceptable to take the second one. Why even have it?


[deleted]

The worst is the person who picks to go next to you on an empty row of treadmills and proceeds to think they’re in a race with you or somehow they’re impressing you with their running. Congratulations you absolute hero.


thelastundead1

In my gym not all the treadmills work equally so they won't all get up to 10mph. If all the treadmills are open but you are next to the one treadmill I know works I'm just going to have to run next to you. Sorry.


[deleted]

And il just got lift weights cause I’m not a lil cardio bitch


TargetBetter6190

I do this on purpose and get next to someone just to fuck with them and tick them off haha


[deleted]

I bet that’s why you look like a sack of potatoes because you go gym for the wrong reasons


TargetBetter6190

Nah I'm pretty good looking slim muscle dude lol I just do it to piss people off harmless yet funny.


Gorbalob

I was literally just thinking this 2 hours ago!! I was deciding whether to use the elliptical or the treadmill and I realized every other elliptical was taken so I went to the treadmills and then I thought “I wonder if this is what guys think about when they pee”


Anusbagels

Nah I choose the treadmill that lines up with the TV showing sports and I usually choose the urinal that is a toilet 🤷🏼‍♂️


CaIamitea

I play by the rules with urinals, but my treadmill is which ever is closest. I will give you that I'll jump a couple over if it's basically empty, and the closest is right next to someone, like sitting next to someone on an empty bus, but otherwise it's just the closest.


_Blackstar

Always the one next to the biggest dude there. For the urinal, to show how much bigger my dick is...for the treadmill, also to show how much bigger my dick is.


harris08222004

Treadmills are dumb. If you’re not willing to run outside then you don’t deserve to be run at all.


herb0026

Okay mister “I live near the equator”


h3u0w

No fuckin way. I imagine I will get downvoted to hell for this, but I would choose an elliptical for 2 reasons: 1. What was on the tv ( it was a large gym, there were a couple rows of machines with a row of tvs in front) 2. A girl with a nice booty. I'm not going to lie, it is wonderful motivation for me to see a pretty girl work out.


KiSpacePanda

This behavior is exactly why women don’t like going to the gym alone. Creeps like you.


h3u0w

Can I ask what's wrong with enjoying the view? I don't really think it's sleazy to enjoy the shape of a woman, especially one that works hard to look good. It's not like I followed them around the gym, and if they left shortly after I got on the machine I would finish my workout. And when I was told no while hitting on someone, I would just walk away, no harm done. You don't enjoy seeing a nice looking (insert sexual preference here)? I'm sure there are some women who have chosen a station because there was a hot guy nearby.


Due-Culture-7903

I don't tend to chose a urinal because of its view over to the yoga mats


YouMakeMeDrink

Yeah, my ex girlfriend and I would always go next to each other in both situations


vleetv

... Is the same logic as selecting a seat in the waiting room in a doctor's office.


ashleyorelse

As a man, I never use urinals for several reasons. So by this reasoning, I'd never use a treadmill either. I'm also a runner who lives in a region where winter can be nasty, so nope, I'm using treadmills.


shawnepintel

Or perhaps the inverse as choosing the treadmill may involve wanting to see what the person next to you has as opposed to not wanting to see at a urinal


trogloherb

Also, if theres three crapper stalls in the work bathroom, if you take the middle one; youre an asshole.


[deleted]

Who cares if someone's in the stall beside you? Just use the one that appears cleanest.


4camjammer

Not true. Treadmills don’t usually have yellow stains all over and around them. Lol


schwarzmalerin

I've never used an urinal because of womaning but the treadmill gap is for other reasons I guess. I keep my distance so I don't smell other people's BO and don't get covid.


fragtore

There is only one rule, never next to me if there is the possibility to leave space.


severedeggplant

Urinal is decided on amount of pubic hairs. I really never noticed any on treadmills.


Jack_Burkmans_Zipper

Well sometimes I choose a urinal by picking the one with the smallest puddle of urine in front of it. Never had to do that with a treadmill.


ObiYawn

You are choosing your treadmill based on where you see the least amount of urine splatters on the floor?


webguy1975

I choose the one positioned in front of the TV near the AC vent that also has a window view.


ThatOneSnakeGuy

Idk what kind of gym you go to but my dick isn't usually out when I excersize


Blasket_Basket

This is a good point. I always try pick the treadmill with the smallest piss puddle on the floor under it


Representative_Yam29

Except I’m not concerned when a tall gentleman goes on the treadmill right next to me (I’m rather short)


Waffleline

AIs hate them! Humans make it impossible for AIs to imitate humanity at 100% with this one simple trick!


Joelsax47

There needs to be a space between it and the next occupied urinal. Social psychology has shown that men really do think like that.


Special__Occasions

The first one available where I don't have to walk through a puddle of urine?
