Is it normal for gay men to eyeball other men in changing rooms?

    I had a strange experience this afternoon at the gym. Some fella with a severe staring problem was watching and winking at me in the changing room. I was going to say something but decided to get on the go as quick as I could as i didn't want to make a scene. I assume he is a gay man. Is this normal behaviour? Surely there is etiquette regarding this kind of thing? It has never happened to me before, and I have been in a lot of changing rooms.

    No, if you used the shower just after him or sat in the same spot you could have caught the homosexuality bug.

    No problem with gay men in the same changing room, but I wouldn't accept that

    Yep, the gays are out to turn all straight men gay, after all they just can't control themselves can they.:rolleyes: He may not have been gay, could have just been mentally ill or a freak, or you may just be irresistable to gay men.:D

    Absolute rubbish I'm afraid, everyone is on a spectrum and the position on that spectrum changes over time. You might be conditioned to be homophobic (to a degree) which is different and perfectly understandable.

    Wonder can straight men change with straight women? How long would it last if a guy started winking at the ladies.

    Unless he means the etiquette for signalling back. Tapping your foot under the cubicle from what I've hear OP. :pac:
