New military rule, pubes need to be shaved.

I think it's because one can usually move away from weirdo's in daily life, so they are not noticed as much. In a gym, there is nowhere to hide and it's usually a small space where the equipment is setup. Arnold had a good scene in 'Pumping Iron' but I think the particular gym he utilized was used mostly by professional level athletes (although it was a public gym), or at least those that used it were smart enough to not cause problems.

It's better when you're drunk.

Many people need that. That's why they move there.

Some guys are living there doing a border run every three months 😂

Someone finally got it. It's cheaper doing it here for most people.

The Op has a "thing" about trivial rules. It makes sense that he is having a hard time getting his head around the line. It's easier with some flexibility.

I don't like having to say no constantly. Have fun.

You're in the right location then. For me that's distraction, not relaxation.

I tried beach lounging at Jomtein Beach. Not relaxing at all. I kept getting approached, either for massages, guys doing those fake tattoos, some gay guy. It was just not comfortable. There was always something there that distracted from a quiet relaxing time. Pattaya Beach was the same way, although it looks like there could be stretches up North where it may be possible to be left alone. I never got up that far to check it out. I started lounging at the condo pool after that and never went back to the beach.

Do you have any idea why there are always weirdo's in gyms?

I did a return to the Usa a few years ago for about a year. I did not get laid at all. The women were just not interested. The only realistic option for a lot of older guys over there is street hookers, but it's very risky and not worth it (there are police stings all over, pimps, etc). The dating apps are full of other guys pretending to be women or using it as entertainment when guys respond. It's rare to even get a response on the apps. In person approaches risk harrassment accusations. Don't worry though, rock stars and famous artists still do pretty well..

The problem is that it's never really empty. There is always some dude there that is not great to be around. I actually do go at times of the day when there is less likely to be a lot of guys there.

It happens to all guys, no avoiding it. Usually starts in mid 50's.

It gets embarrassing if you have erection problems with someone much younger also. It does not necessarily have to be a limp one, just a hint that there is some sort of issue, like semi-hard or just not being up to bat immediately. Everyone knows right away.

It means you're basically sleeping with many other guys. Hopefully there are no diseases involved. Condoms don't protect the entire area or even the upper shaft.

I think of what it would be like if I had to actually work there and come out laughing.

Some people are bothered by small trivial things. They usually have a bunch of other problems and the trivial thing is seen as a big deal. Kind of like the straw that breaks the camels back, or the person who goes off on a road rage for some small matter. Anything that seems like it could be a rule is scrutinized because it implies loss of control over the environment. The person feels like things are not under control. I think this is usually the case, rather then someone just being a jerk or trying to give me a hard time.

Your English sucks. It's personalize and stuck to.

Depends on if I was paying to stay there or not. If paying, yes, as long as I put it back afterwards. If someone else in the house objected, technically I would need to ask the owner. Same as what happened in the gym which I am paying to use. If I was there as simply a non paying guest I would not move anything. I do it now at Airbb's. Move furniture around, but it looks the same as when I arrived when I leave. If they want it unmoved they need to state that in the listing.

He can't decide on his own what other people can or can't do in the gym. Protocol is to ask the owner or staff to interpret and enforce the rules.

Ok. 🫡 I think you are technically correct. It's too weird for me to ask each time because it feels petty to me. I'll consider getting my own bike and leaving the gym equipment alone or looking at another gym that has better views.

It seems like a Pattaya thing. Something weird with the guys here. Could be testosterone, etc.

You're putting your own crap on it. There was no posted rule about moving the bike and I thought the move was Ok. It's up to the staff to say something or post not to in the rules. How would you feel if I questioned every little thing you do in the gym? I can think of hundreds of little things to bitch about.
