Changing in front of your close friends is weird, amirite?

She wasn't even getting nude. She was just getting out of a wet suit into a shirt at the beach. Not weird at all, calm down.

It's not even weird to take your wetsuit off in the middle of the beach in front of everyone. I don't see how it's any different to someone taking there t-shirt and shorts off when there on the sand to get in the ocean??

How is it weird for a girl to be in a swimsuit…..at the beach…..

OP is such a virg

Due to your strange reaction, shes either terrible looking or your uncomfortable because you have a crush on her. And im guessing its the latter.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Sounds like you're kind of a prude. Nothing wrong with that, but it's certainly "weird" in its own way.

Please understand that I'm not from America and I don't know the culture well, but why is he a prude? I'm assuming that that person usually see their friends in normal clothes, and the sudden change is weird to them. It's not like everyone is almost naked most of the time

How are you 22 and still find semi-nudity weird? Grow up

Are you a conservative Christian or 5 years old or something? Why is this so weird? If anything you're weird for being so uncomfortable about a very normal thing.

Do you have an issue with seeing women in bikinis on the beach? If you guys went swimming would you be offended if your friends wore bikinis? Are you Muslim?

by Anonymous 2 years ago

No? Where did Muslim come from?

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Just figured that if seeing a woman in a bikini made you felt weird you must come from a very repressed background. My apologies

So it gave you a chubby and now you feel weird?

She wasn't changing though….. she was taking off her wetsuit and was wearing a bikini underneath. What's weird about that? Were y'all at the mall? Weird. Were y'all at the beach? Totally not weird in any way.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Don't understand what was strange if she left her bikini on. If she did take her bikini off, the polite thing would have been for you to look elsewhere. As I read on a backpacking forum once, if you can't get privacy, you should give privacy. You should have given her privacy by averting your eyes.

Have you never been to the beach? The pool? Like….it's a bathing suit my dude.

But changing out your old friends regularly is a good idea. Like batteries in a smoke detector

I can't tell if you missed the point or if this is next level humor

I agree with her tbh. I've changed in front of friends and never found it weird, there's nothing sexual in it. But you should only do it if your comfortable changing in front if them and if it makes you uncomfortable don't look or just ask politely if they can do it out of your eyeshot.

Calm down OP she had a bikini/bathing suit on underneath her wetsuit. No one was naked....get a grip

I've had friends change in front of me who actually did get naked and I'm not even that close with them. Just don't make it weird and it won't be weird. They're just changing clothes, they're not doing things to you. It's not like you don't get naked when you change, the fear of nudity is really weird, especially since this isn't in front of a big crowd or anything, it's just someone you know. Just some examples: Female friend needed to change but the only option was the men's room. She told me to go in with her because she felt weird being in there. She changed and we were out in like 60 seconds. Female friend was spending the night and I was renting 1 room in a house at the time so she changed into the shorts and shirt she borrowed from me with me in the room. She was in the middle of a 48 hour drive and I was the midpoint so I told her she could stay the night. Friend changed into her outfit in the car during a music festival event. Friends got into the hot tub nude because it was nighttime, it was outside tub, and they had nothing suitable to wear because they didn't know there would be this awesome outdoor tub, but still wanted to join us. We were taking shrooms and watching the stars while in this incredible tub. Nobody should be kept from that. I went camping with the boys and we were on a dinghy going fishing. One of them needed to change into his wetsuit to go spear fishing. He also changed out of it into his normal clothes once he was done.  I guess I would have found it weird 15+ years ago. But I'm old now so I don't really care.

Not weird at all

by Anonymous 2 years ago

As someone who has been in the theater and opera world (lots of backstage near-nudity), changing in front of people is only weird because we make it weird. This is an especially silly case because she was wearing a bathing suit. Considering the situation, that's about the least scandalous thing I can imagine.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Some people have different ideas of what is weird/not weird. I grew up on the swim team, I think its totally normal to change or be shirtless around friends. I can completely understand otherwise tho.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Haha you're actually the weird one here. I bet you project sexualization onto a lot of things you shouldn't too haha

I bathe and sauna naked in mixed company. I think you're a bit uptight.

It'd be weird if she randomly stripped naked for absolutely no reason. But she was changing out of a wet suit, wearing a bikini, and put a t shirt on immediately. Not weird

by Anonymous 2 years ago

How was it any different from her just wearing a bikini?

by Anonymous 2 years ago

What do you expect her to wear under her wetsuit a t shirt and a pair of jeans?? TF.

It is so weird that in America the human body with minimal or no clothing at all is so taboo. Like when you go to Europe there are tons of nude beaches. But movies like Hostile and Saw are 110% okay so odd and bizarre.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

It's not weird. You can look away, close your eyes or just act normally.

If ur scared of girls in bathing suits, you shouldn't have picked surfing as a sport. Steer clear of the beach

I've camped hiked swam snorkeled skied and lots of other stuff with guys and girls. It is not weird to change clothes around others like that. Yes I've peed in cans and dumped it over the side of the boat too. Avery your eyes if you don't like it.

It's unfortunate that people are friends with you

I guess this is unpopular, but it's so unnecessary, you can look away, you can go somewhere else, you can choose to not care…shoot I'm a straight 34/m and i walk around the euro spa butt ass naked: solo, with friends, with my wife, with my dad…I'm butt ass naked when i go to the spa…i got a membership, i go often, and some people think it's weird but I'm just comfortable with my basic dad bod and i don't care, I'm comfy in my skin…people be half naked at the beach already…it's just body parts that everyone has…what's the big deal?..is this only close friends, like chill semi friends it's no big deal? I guess I'm fascinated by this compartmentalized perspective…

by Anonymous 2 years ago

I don't personally find it weird, and I am even a bit of a prude. My close friends are like my sisters and we don't really care. Granted, we are all girls, but still. I would change in front of a male friend without completely undressing. Not a big deal and wouldn't be a big deal if he did it either.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

it's only weird if you stare or gawk it's not weird if you are mature about it

by Anonymous 2 years ago

I don't care if my close friend got completely nude in front of me, keyword is close and I have no problem there. At my wedding reception after party, me and like 10 others of my closest friends and their significant others did naked slip and slide. I've been skinny dipping with a whole bunch of friends. It's fun. No one cared. Course I'm not doing that with strangers so close friends really is the only way that it seems to be appropriate. Unless they're you.

Kids spend waaaaaayyyy too much time declaring things 'weird' anymore. It's something generational.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Generally speaking, it's weird. Considering you were at the beach though, that's perfectly normal.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

The only reasonable way this could be weird is if you aren't actually a friend in this situation and sexualized someone, or sexualized the gender of someone who thinks you're a friend. And this would make you predatory and weird.

Naw she taught me how to surf and we played volleyball a lot

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Just because she taught you something or participated in a sport with you doesn't mean you didn't sexualize her or by proxy her gender simply because she changed clothes in front of you.
