There's some pretty nasty mens rooms out there.

Some people need to start taking care of themselves in that area.

This isn't the damn jungle.

That's what the thread is about. I just asked if women's were the same way.

from what i understand, women's restrooms are often quite filthy, even exceeding men's restrooms. If all you have to endure is a couple of pubes, consider yourself lucky.

Don't they clean the restrooms there? Or wont the cleaners cross the picket lines? (Is that still going on? or am I mixing posters and stories?)

Here, where I work, they clean the restrooms 3-4 times a day. Which, although overkill, is nice. :)

Once a week for the men's bathrooms. 1-2 times a day in the women's. It's weird.
Maintenance people here are a bunch of overpaid retards with mops.

I don't even want to think about it. Ugh.

where my wife used to work, women would stand on the seats to squat, since that was more preferable a position for them.

I used to work at a Chick-fil-a that of course had public restrooms. The womens restroom was always far nastier than the mens. Worst thing you would find in the mens restrooms is the occasional clogged toilet, unflushed toilets, and some soap all over the counter. Never pubes on the floor or counter.
The womens restroom?? Urine and feces on the floor! As in they completely missed the toilet!! Bloody feminine products in unflushed/clogged up toilets. Daipers left on the changing station. One idiot tried to flush her baby's diaper. And people think women are cleaner than men??

when I was living in a dorm, I walked in on what I thought was a kid shaving his pubes in the bathroom with an electric razor in the sink! Sure enough my friend walked in later and said, yep, definitely pubes in the sink.

This is what gets me too. When I go into the restrooms here at work the floor is always wet, the urinals and toilets always have piss all over them, paper towels all over the place. You'd a bunch of pre-schoolers were working here not grown professional men.

Dood I got hair on my back, chest, butt, arms, legs, and balls. Im your regular guy Winnie the pooh ;)
And Im a guy, supposed to have hair everywhere, not a metro sexual or anything girlish where I have to shave downstairs or anywhere else because Im a man. The day I start shaving anything other then my face may as well duct tape my package and prance around going "OOOOOOOOOO you go girl! Oh look at the sweet cheeks on that stud, ooooo I woulnt kick him out of bed for eating chips, no way!"

Part of being a man, get over seeing the pubes, its life, and its not going anywhere. And if your sh!t dont stink coming out of your ass then you must be god, go perform some fvcking miracles or cure world hunger or some sh!t :)

Women aren't cleaner than men, they're just more aesthetically b!tchy. The wet towel doesn't go on the bed, it goes on the towel rack. Will it really make a difference in terms of cleanliness? Not really. Does it look better? Yes.

Lol back in high school I walked into a "men's" (using the term loosely here) room and found a used condom on TOP of a urinal. WTF?

Man, if pubic hair bothers you... there was a guy here that had some form of skin disease (likely excema) that caused brown flakes of skin to literally shower down onto the floors in front of urinals, all over toilet seats, anything, and he WOULDNT CLEAN IT UP. I finally found out who it was when I was in the stall one day and Mr. Flaky shoes sat down with his nametag attached to his pants in the next stall. I avoided him like the plague, and almost considered sending him an anonymous email to let him know it's just gross and unhealthy to leave that sh!t everywhere. It's since stopped, however...

In the many random college dorm discussions we've had with girls, (my hall is co-ed by room), this subject has been brought up several times. Interestingly enough, girls don't go for guys who have pubic hair that looks like undergrowth or back hair. Apparently Chest, leg and facial hair CAN be hot though :confused:

Yes hair is a sign of masculine maturity, but undergrowth is generally looked down upon, and it's undergrowth that fills up the urinals. No one's saying shave your balls. Just trim them so you don't look like a naked ape with skin disease.

Because we do. Some more than others, but on average, us men are a hairier lot. It's a sexually selected characteristic. Mainstream culture has only fairly recently chosen the hairless man look, and just like the skinny model look for women, it doesn't actually reflect mainstream preferences.

Most men like a little meat on their women, and most women like a man who looks and acts like one.

You should be well aware that there is a large subset of your sexual preference that likes hairy men too. Why is that? Perhaps because the slender hariless waif gay ideal is one thing, but many gay men are attracted to men that look like . . . men.

That said, I agree that wads of pubes in the john is not good. I think it's more a sign of poor cleaning standards. Men will shed. You can't expect us to shave so you can avoid seeing the evidence. You can however expect your workplace facilities to be kept clean.

Why?
Because.
lol
And what you call a large subset, I call a minority.
I didn't ask if men are hairier than women. I know that.
I asked:

I just don't see the need.
But in all honesty it doesn't matter. I just find it disgusting to see it all over the toilets at work. I don't expect anyone to shave but...yuck. I...*shivers*

Why are men "supposed" to have hair on their back, chest, butt, arms, legs and balls?

Because girls are to be hairless, gives a soft, sensual nature to them and their appearance for a guy to go ape crazy for and protect as property.

A man is to be hairy, masculine looking in nature, rough, tough, a protector by looks and nature. And if a fight were to emerge to protect his/her loved one to the death if need be and be a man. When the man starts to shave all of his hair off he starts to take on the more soft, foo foo, female sense, soft and fragile more like a woman. And not give the sense or ora as a protector, just a sensual being that if a predator were to invade would give up and watch his loved one be mauled, raped, then beaten to death.

Women (my wife), has a sense of feeling knowing Im a man, if she were in danger I would stick up for her and protect her and my family, to my death if need be, and wouldnt go cower off in a corner screaming "PLEASE DONT HURT ME!"

If I were to pick a fight and rob a couple walking down the street. Would I go for the big burly hairy ape of a man, wearing a leather coat, bushy beard, hairs popping out of his sweaty tee shirt, or the one wearing the pink shirt, smelling like a rose from head to toe, kinda prancing around acting like his date or one of the women? Well it sure wouldnt be the ape man getting his sweaty hairs and goop all over me as my first pick and one of the reasons a lot of women like a big hairy man. It wreaks manly man, my protector, goes back to the days of cave men. And then some women prefer one who they can curl up with, read a book, cry when watching a sad movie, and share shaving tips and razors but would do a damn thing to protect them.

All depends on you, and who likes you for you. But because you dont like to see pubes doesnt mean everyone needs to shave them all off and every other hair on their body like a women and take away their masculinity. I like being a man, I like my hair, my wife likes my hair, and even with my stuff trimmed the pubes fall off. The get pulled off from my underwear, or just fall off like a eye lash or regular body hair does, its part off life and until every man goes metro sexual or gay your gonna just have to get used to it for again its part of life. Im not shaving any other part other then my face.

If I wanted to buy foo foo frilly powders, scented body lotions other then my deodorants for my pits, and arm, leg, and pube shaving crap, so showering would take me 2 hours instead of 15 minutes god would of made me a woman then ;)

And so I ask "who says I have to be hairless everywhere"? I personally would feel less of a man, myself, if I was forced into shaving everything like a woman does, because someone doesnt want to see a pube in a urinal. But because of the way stalls are though I chose not to use them unless I absolutely have to in a emergency situation, other then that, I may go in to take a piss, but I really would have to take a crap badly before I would plop my ass down on a public toilet seat. Because most people, guys and girls, by nature are pigs, and my way of not dealing with it is not to use it. I have a truckers bladder and can go almost a whole day without taking a piss, and have trained my body to do the #2 every morning upon waking up so work time craps are not needed. Something you can train your body to do, and everyone else can as well, if using a bathroom at work is such a big deal for you to put yourself through.

Hope you enjoyed my book :D

Book? Nah, I've ranted and raved on this topic for far longer than that.

I've no comment about women's restrooms, though, since I've never been in one. As for restrooms in general, private restrooms don't really bother me at all when they're somewhat filthy. But public restrooms sometimes make me sick (to the point of having dangerously high fevers and throwing up) very, very quickly if they aren't well cleaned. In general, I'd rather (and occasionally do) completely cancel a night doing whatever (going out to bars, etc) or call it a night extremely early, just to avoid walking in a men's room.
