Well the dude from Ma Nishtana blog hates it so much he made what seems to be the funniest video on the topic I have ever seen.
Do you hate going to the Mikvah?

I didn’t know that people who make the ?? sound instead of ? actually go to the mik.
I didn’t know that people who make the tuf sound instead of suf actually go to the mik.
hahahah, us women have separate changing rooms and go in the pool alone. Also, the water when I converted was like a sauna. Eww, about the guy who left his you know what behind in the water.
A secular parallel is gym locker rooms:
When I had a gym membership, dudes would be like “Hot day out.” I’d respond “Yup, right,” while trying to ignore them. In my head I’d be thinking “Why couldn’t you talk to me five minutes ago when we were fully clothed?”
hesh what di you think of kew gardens hills this shabbos
you left the young israel to early on fri night for me to say hello
You have to say hi while you have the chance – I was scared my people’s would eat without me
Hilarious!!
so true; why won’t men’s mikvaot adopt a one-immerser-at-a-time rule?
Yes, some of us tav-uttering liberals use the mikvah regularly too
Thankfully we have private dressing rooms and solo dunking only.
What he describes sounds like skeevy locker room behavior. Where’s the modesty that’s supposed to be part of the mikvah experience?
Eeeeeewwwwwwww!!!!!!
Oy, where to begin…?
The mikvah is creepy for most men for soooo many reasons.
Starting, since this is a G-rated site (ha!), with the slimy tile floors and wet towels everywhere.
Why are snags so homophobic? Naked around people = theraputic, not scary. That guy isn’t going to rape you, he’s just not hung up on proving how straight he is, like some of you closet cases. Chassidim don’t stress these things. Why? Because they get laid better. That’s why they came to the mikva in the first place.
Being a ginger, I always get the curtains-match-the-peyos jokes. And yes, there always seems to be that one old naked guy who insists on being naked in there and talking to you about stuff. Once, he was there and naked before I was. I undressed, dunked, and came back and he was still in the changing room…still naked.
And they need to add “no high-fives while naked” rule. That’s really weird and any smacking noise heard while naked always makes me run for my clothes.
So is the proper greeting, Mah Nishmah Nigguh?
B”H
The only rule I have is that men who haven’t showered yet, may NOT accidententally brush up against me with their grossness.
This is one of those rare occasions when I partly agree with Yosef Leib. I don’t get the whole towel thing, usually from the generally more uptight Litvaks. (no offense)s Although, a lot of mamlachti settlers who try to show everybody else how super frum they are, are also uptight. Hilltop youth types go to various natural springs,…no qualms.
Unless you have certain miqvah minhagim you follow, like in Toldos Avraham Yitzhaq, get over it. One shouldn’t be ashamed of the brith milah of Avraham Avinu.
