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??
Get unwanted attention from men
how does one not act like a moid, what are common non-moid behaviors?
Well, the common behaviours are the shit you'd associate with the stereotype primitive men: reducing people to objects of sexual attraction, being oblivious to boundaries, exploiting vulnerable situations.
In this case, you just don't stare at the other sauna guests. You look for a spot, preferably away from others, sit down, focus on your own breathing and all that and leave everyone else alone to do the same.
To take advantage of the fact that someone is naked and exposed to ogle them, then strike up a conversation they didn't ask for (because sauna isn't for chatting, it's for sweating) when they already feel vulnerable and exposed, violates the trust in mutual privacy that makes shared saunas possible in the first place.

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.

She was absolutely looking to leave as soon as this guy schlubbed in to look over her "good body, tits, and butt". The attempt at conversation was just the opening she needed to escape.
Here's the "rule": The first time you speak to someone they should be fully clothed, unless there is a clothing malfunction you are attempting to resolve and that requires spoken communication.
It's fine to make friends at the gym, tho that's not what I'm ever there for. It's fine to talk in the sauna, to people you are already on speaking terms with. It's not okay to see someone in the sauna, appreciate their body, and use that as motivation to talk to them for the first time.
Not true, you may address anyone at any point in the sauna if you bend over, spread your ass cheeks and lip sync every word you say with your anus.

A "do you mind if I pour some water on the stones?" Is a good opener. Then you wait for them to engage. If they don't, so be it.

In Germany everyone is naked in the sauna. It's a rule. Ok, you might wear a sauna hat, but that's it.
Of all the places to wear a hat, why a sauna?
It's a sauna hat, where else would you wear it?
If there's ever been any logic that is sound, it is this one.
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
Be careful not to wear it inside out. It'll reverse the effect!

Is it like a top hat or a beret?
Like a pointed felt hat
I'm sorry, are you telling me you get to wear a wizard hat in the sauna?!?
(I apologize for my American ignorance)

I think this has nothing to do with it being a sauna and more about "Girl with real good body, tits and butt" which means OP was already staring and moaning under his breath.
People like this don't realize how much creepiness they ooze without saying a word.

People talk in the sauna? I thought that was a nono
At my local it's like a fucking pub in there. Yapping away. I wish they would all just shit up and sweat silently

It seems the rest of the world has decided that saunas need to be quiet, when the actual Finnish thing is a social event. You have a beer, sometimes a sausage on the oven. I don't know what the point of a stfu wellness sauna in a gym is.

Is it naked I here or is that just you
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.
That's not really true, or it might be in some parts of the world.
However, in the land of the Sauna, that is the place to talk. It's where you ask someone to be your best man. It's where you ask your boss a raise. It's where you agree on a business deal, or maybe to set up a monopoly with your competitors. And you best abide by these words: Never enter a Sauna sober, nor without a drink.
Never been to a womens Sauna, but I expect them to do something naughty as they don't allow us guys there...
You can talk private if you have a private sauna.
In a public one, nobody wants to listen to others small talk.

That's not really how it works in the US. People talk so much in the steam room/sauna, that you're pretty much expected to have a conversation when you step inside of either one. As an introvert it's very anxiety-inducing.

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

You smell that?
OP after releasing a stream of whey farts for the past 10 minutes.
I didn't know about the no speaking rules in Saunas. I would think that should be a sign but there easily could have been and anon didn't read.
It would already be creepy if the first thing he asked was where she lived; however the line "Well I decided to talk to her and ask where she's from" can imply that he spoke, got no response, then kept yapping.
Furthermore, the fact he's complaining about how what he did was not "really that bad" without acknowledging he broke a rule, tells me that he knew what he was doing but decided to break that rule because he's not "really that bad".
All that said, I'd probably break that rule to crack a one-liner like the reply, because dumb jokes are my favorite.
I've never seen any no speaking rules in Germany but "no flirting" is very much an implied rule and the way anon describes her has having a "good body, tits and butt" he probably might have been creepy before even saying anything.
I'm not a big sauna guy and thus mostly was there with my girlfriend. And in the setting where you're there with a partner, causal small talk with strangers was quite normal. I think it heavily depends on being able to read the room.
Heh I miss saunas. I grew up with them. Perfect bonding experience. As in stfu and meditate.

"I'm a sleazy fuckin creep, where did I go wrong?!"
She was polite enough not to storm out when a dude entered the women's sauna.
my cat likes hanging out with me in the bathroom after I shower.
that's all i got going.
I'm imagining this as a sitcom In which the scene cuts after anon's mouth opens, but just before words come out.
TIL tits and butt are not part of the body.
Maybe he wanted the room to himself. No awkward girl there
So close and so far
