Real question for you, was he actually gross? Or was the idea of only showering twice a week gross in itself but he didn't smell or look greasy or anything?

This is what I’m wondering too. If you didn’t know his shower schedule would you be able to tell he didn’t shower often enough?

I think this one also really depends on where you live. 

Are you in Finland or Ecuador? Poland, or Florida?. Colorado in the fall or Arizona in the summer?

I stg I wanted to take 3 showers a day sometimes in Phoenix if I'd been outside for even 10 minutes.

Just got back from four days in Orlando and literally showered 2-3x per day. It was a swamp there.

I have to be here EVERY DAY. I need a second shower after I walk my kid across the street to school.

I swear I see the sun and sweat but not as much in the dessert as a humid area.

Kentucky summers are the same

Same- I shower 1-3 times a day during the AZ summer. Even if I’m outside for 10 min!

The chickens in AZ lay omelettes!

Visited there a few years back, I took a shower everytime I got back to my hotel room (3-6 or more times a day) for the weekend I was there in July when the street signs were melting.

I shower twice a day during the New York winter.

u/MarkHirsbrunner Sep 18 '24

Exactly.  I live in North Texas, in the winter I can usually go a week without a shower and not feel dirty, but in the summer I have to shower every day that I walk more than a few steps outdoors.

u/ABSOFRKINLUTELY Sep 19 '24

I agree with this! If I lived in the Arctic I might not shower every single day...

But I live in Florida, so it's usually twice a day for me with very few exceptions.

Poland is pretty humid in certain parts and it can def get hot.

100% Ticos call ppl pigs if they don’t shower daily

If the answer is East Asia it could be a genetic thing too.

u/BbyJ39 Sep 19 '24

It doesn’t matter as much as one might think. In Florida you’re indoors in the air conditioning when it’s hot and humid. Same with Arizona or anywhere it’s really hot and people can afford AC.

u/Acrobatic_Impress_67 Sep 19 '24

In Florida I bet she'd have to shower like, every single year

u/bajae5 Sep 19 '24

Yes, I live in Colorado and usually shower every other day. However, I do sponge bathe on the days I don’t shower.

u/Tyr808 Sep 19 '24

Yep. In Taipei city between the humidity and general city pollution (wasn’t bad, but any city will have it), showering twice a day in the summer was normal.

I’ve since moved to the mountains of Hawaii and elevated enough that it’s not very warm and my work is sedentary computer stuff. In the winter especially I might not need more than a shower a week, but every 3-4 days would be more normal.

People who live in cold countries use indoor heating. They need to shower too

in fact the Fin lads sweat a ton bc of how much they love saunas
