Today, I was in the gym waiting for my boyfriend while he played racquetball. I had to listen to old men talk about their prostates for 15 minutes. FML

Just for everyone's information I couldn't go outside because it was too cold It was hard not to hear them when they were very loud old men It didn't disgust me because it's the human body but I more of had to try not to laugh listening to them all causally talk about their prostates and comparing them like they were toys So please stop being butt hurt about this I made this FML to share a funny experience at the gym. Thanks :)

You easily could have walked away if it made you uncomfortable. I've never been to a gym so small that people can't be out of earshot.

It's really important for them to get their prostates checked out when they're old so at least they're aware about it! And as if older people haven't had to listen to gross conversations from the younger generation.

Which is how long it took until they had to be, err, excused.

When I first read this, I thought it said prostitutes not prostates.

When men are in groups with friends they talk about boners, prostates, hair loss, and sex....grow up, kiddo...it's just part of life. Not very different from menopause, vaginal yeast infections, leaky bladders, and saggy breasts, all topics that women talk about with their closest friends....no big deal.

OP, is there some really good reason you couldn't have gone elsewhere in the gym or outside while your boyfriend finished if the conversation those elderly men were having bothered you so badly? Because phrased as it is now with a lack of details, it comes off as ydi.

I really hope you have enough intelligence to move out of earshot

Why not just walk away? No one forced you to listen.

If only there was something else to do in a gym besides eavesdropping.
