I haven't hung out in a ladies room in years but the last one I was in had a couch, and a plush chair in a separate area with a large mirror. I think I ended up in there chatting with girls for over an hour. A couple stayed the whole time, most were quicker probably 5-10 minutes.
For not so nice bathrooms for a guy 2 minutes will be about the total in and out time.
Edit to add: Another experience I had at a baseball game. The line to the ladies was long and slow so they started to use the stalls in the men's. While waiting in line I decided to count how many men could go in the time it took a woman to go. It ended up being about 10 to 1

I don't go to baseball games, but sports stadiums are a unique case. The majority of attendees identify as male, so it makes sense to create a separate line. What about, in the future, creating a third option, similar to "family" restrooms, where any gender can go? This way there are fewer children running around unattended in restrooms (which will make queue times in the women's room faster), and it creates a gender neutral option at these high volume events? I'm not saying mandate that every stadium be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up to create equal spaces for all individuals to pee without being harassed. I'm talking about in the future.
What was your point about how you enjoyed hanging out in a restroom? Are you implying that this is common?

I'm guessing "in the men's room".

I've worked as janitor and I can say a lot of times the men's room will have just a stall or two and a urinal. Meanwhile the corresponding women's room may have 3 or 4 stalls and even sometimes chairs and a front waiting room. Shit's crazy, why can't women just use the bathroom for what its meant for?
