Yeah I've noticed these threads tend to have a weird anti-science slant to them. A general sense of "ignore what your dermatologist says, do what I say or we'll smell your reek from blocks away".
Add me to the list of people that very rarely actually smell others BO. Maybe I'm just blessed with a bad sense of smell, heh.
This, I also have pretty sensitive skinI don't shower because of social norms or because I'm afraid of people thinking I stink.
I shower every day because I physically feel gross as hell if I don't
Lol should have prefaced with "I personally shower every day"!
I'm just saying I can't smell people that don't. Seems like surveys are saying around 60% of people shower every day, which means 40% don't. I interact with, I dunno, 50 people a day, and I don't noticeably smell any of them. I guess I'm blessed.
Infrequent shower havers are just getting ahead of the Water Wars that will happen in a decade. See who's laughing when water is rationed! :P
I'm not getting into my bed with the funk of the day still on me. Also hygiene is kind of important if you're in a physical relationship with someone...

I'm just saying I can't smell people that don't. Seems like surveys are saying around 60% of people shower every day, which means 40% don't. I interact with, I dunno, 50 people a day, meaning about 20 probably aren't daily showerers, and I don't noticeably smell any of them. I guess I'm blessed.
That just reminds me of the sinkpisser movement
I genuinely don't know this, but is this going to be a problem one day? Or at that point do we just use salt water for general cleaning (i.e. not drinking/eating).
Stopped washing and conditioning my hair every single shower and noticed an improvement. Bodywash daily.
why are so many people crusading against showers
what do you people have against bathing
Actually, it might not be. I live in an apartment, and have a neighbor that you can smell coming from about twenty feet away. Any time he opens his door, the entire hallway reeks of body odor.
Must be nice. :/
I interpret "shower" as washing the entire body with a continuously running source of water. A sponge bath or washing just your hair in the sink wouldn't count.I don't really understand. Is the definition of shower used here to mean the use of soap/shampoo/etc??
Because it goes on to say "He sink washes daily, using a cloth to clean his entire body" and I mean, that's a shower right there. That's a person cleaning themselves with water.
So really this is about the method of bathing oneself, which everyone seems to agree is good and does it (and also water conservation). The article is saying we don't have to use the physical shower every time and that there are other methods to bathe.
Pretty rich saying the unwashed masses are the ones being holier than thou.Stinky Era trying it's hardest to defend not showering, the weird holier than thou mental games of saying shit like.
*Yeah well ha bet you twice a day people don't ACTUALLY wash yourselves, you don't wash your clothes and that's why you smell. You can't smell people who haven't showered!* Like playing politics with conservatives.
You're one of the leadership figures of the daily-or-die shower zealots, of course *you're* doing it properly. Not necessarily the case with the rest of your flock.No way don't assume we just as nasty as these barely bathing people lmao. Bend the fuck down and wash your legs, back of your knees, calves, feet.
Like, what?!? I bathe and exfoliate all over. How do some of yall function?
You're just used to her smell and don't realize she's actually making your life worse. At least according to some of the galaxy brain takes in this thread.I feel like shit if I don't shower in the morning. My wife showers maybe every 3 or so days and I've never thought she smelled bad or anything. So just depends on the person. People getting SO UPSET either way here should chill and eat an ice cream cone.
I can't imagine smelling someone from across a room and thinking "Wow, a lot goes wrong in two days!" and not "that fucker hasn't showered in two weeks".I couldn't imagine being able to smell someone's balls from across the room and thinking "boy, they must have really healthy skin!"
A whole thread full of incredibly polite bloodhounds who can smell past someone's deodorant and tell that it's been 36 hours since a shower and not 24. Sounds incredibly believable. I'm convinced.Everyone here saying we don't smell other people who don't wash daily
Yes we fucking do, we just aren't rude enough to tell them they fucking stink and should take a wash.
See, the mistake you made was reading the OP. That's a light suggestion at best and completely unnecessary for general discourse. This isn't a thread about "Is showering the only way to clean yourself, and is a water conserving bird bath sufficient?", it's a thread about debating the exact second past 24 hours that your disgusting pig manure scent ratchets up to 11 while you burn the sinuses out of the good natured people around you who won't tell you that you smell because they're busy gagging on your onion and garlic scent trying not to violently puke all over themselves.I don't really understand. Is the definition of shower used here to mean the use of soap/shampoo/etc??

I'll have some for you too.
I like how advocation of the daily shower makes you a sheep.You're one of the leadership figures of the daily-or-die shower zealots, of course *you're* doing it properly. Not necessarily the case with the rest of your flock.
I mean, it's ultimately semantics.Everyone here saying we don't smell other people who don't wash daily
Yes we fucking do, we just aren't rude enough to tell them they fucking stink and should take a wash.
This should be a faction in FalloutYou're one of the leadership figures of the daily-or-die shower zealots
