She was polite enough not to storm out when a dude entered the women's sauna.

They are the norm in most of europe.

It's not difficult.

Shut the door. Shut up. Sit down and keep your mouth shut.

You are allowed to aks "löyly?" and yell "Shut the door!" at appropriate times, but otherwise just shut the fuck up.

I've never even crossed the borders of Idaho and even I know not to talk in a sauna.

Is it naked I here or is that just you

I would say the gym is absolutely not where people go to make friends, but apparently the younger generation does use it for that. That kind of blows my mind, but it's certainly healthier than going to a bar to meet people.

Any place you go regularly can become a place to make friends.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world -2 points 1 hour ago

it has nothing ot do with location everything to do with personality.

the point is you can't know what type of personality someone has until you talk to them. and everyone gets offended and upset when they are or are not approached at the gym. because well, people love getting upset and offended more than making friends these days.

She probably noticed him OGLING HER based on the description he just gave

Saunas are sacred shit. It's like a gay bar, if you want to not be seen as a pest you 100% must stop acting like a moid when you enter. And some people just don't want to be spoken to

So I have to act like a woman when I'm in a sauna? Any advice??

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 hours ago

Get unwanted attention from men

In Germany everyone is naked in the sauna. It's a rule. Ok, you might wear a sauna hat, but that's it.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Is it like a top hat or a beret?

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 9 points 3 hours ago

Like a pointed felt hat

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 39 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Of all the places to wear a hat, why a sauna?

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 3 points 1 hour ago

If you're bald. The head is the most temperature sensitive area. It gets unpleasant too soon if you don't have hair.

[–] python@lemmy.world 101 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It's a sauna hat, where else would you wear it?

[–] gedfromgont@piefed.ca 30 points 7 hours ago

If there's ever been any logic that is sound, it is this one.

[–] BlaestEgnen@feddit.dk 36 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Too keep your head cooler, it originates from the high humidity slavic banya culture.

As high humidity saunas, warm your skin up faster than dry saunas. You'll not last as long, primarily due to your head overheating. So wearing a thick hat, will insulate your head from the temperature and humidity of the room

[–] Phunter@lemmy.zip 14 points 8 hours ago

Be careful not to wear it inside out. It'll reverse the effect!

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 13 points 10 hours ago

So close and so far

"Classic line. That is just a great line. Gotta manoeuvre more dates into saunas"

They could have at least used the pic of Nancy in the sauna
