Is it me, or does it seem females usually have better hygiene than males do?

[Anonymous]

It seems girls constantly do their hair, wash it, take showers, and wear clean clothes. I know many guys who barely shower, or wear the same clothes every day.

Yes, females usually have better hygiene than males.

No, males, and females are about equal when it comes to personal hygiene.

No, males usually have better hygiene than females.

[MaskedSanity]

On average women tend to have better hygiene, HOWEVER

Have any of you seen the bathroom of a "high maintenance" female? Women have better hygiene when it comes to them and their bodies, but they also have the filthiest most disgusting bathrooms.

I find this appalling, but it's ridiculous just how often a super clean type girl will have a nasty bathroom - dirty bathtub/shower, garbage in the floor, pads/tampons thrown around everywhere, collections of empty bottles of gels and creams that have been used up weeks to months ago.

Obviously I'm not saying all women are like thus, but I've seen my fair share of gross bathrooms to notice a pattern.

[sweettckae]

yeah my sister is like the girl you described, unfortunately she doesn't take care of herself physically.

[CHARismatic110]

Seems that way

[AleDeEurope]

Yeah, women tend to put more attention to their hygiene.
I personally put a lot of attention to that too. I don't go out if I haven't taken a shower, and I always fix my hair, put on deodorant and cologne, put clean clothes...
Women tend to be judged by their looks more than men, so they put more effort.

[Azara]

I don't think women out nude effort into being clean bc if judgement. I think when people put effort into being clean its bc they want to be clean :)

Thanks for the MHO

I think it's because generally, females have been pressured into looking a certain way, so they feel as if they need to take care of themselves at all times.

Females are objectified more, so we feel as though looking good is one of the things with a lot of importance.

While males, on the other hand, don't feel as much pressure. Sure, there's still pressure, but not as much.
There are also fewer men that wear make up than women, and make up clogs your pores, so we've been taught to clean ourselves well. (Same goes for body since females are more prone to diseases via bacteria in certain places)

Also, I've noticed if a girl smells bad, everyone judges. If a man smells bad, people dislike it and might mention it, but not as much.

[fermatote]

But if a male tries to be clean, does shower everyday, tidy up hair, wears clean clothes then people will tease them as gay.

[MaskedSanity]

Is that why you shower and clean yourself? Because you feel pressured into it? Totally not because you feel gross being sweaty and smelly? 😂

[bente2]

@fermatote lmao no. Being clean is kind of a must😂 And having nice hair and clothes isn't 'gay'.

[fermatote]

lol, I didn't disagree. I, myself is a so called "prettyboy". I get a lots of attention from women. But its some men who tease for having shower everyday, spending a good amount of time for tidy up etc.

[bente2]

@fermatote well yeah, but that doesn't leave you able to complain does it? If men still want to be your friends and only make it a joke thingy, and females still like you, why are you whining? That is so typical.

If a female doesn't spend a fair amount of tifying herself, people don't want to date or befriend them.

Femininity is attractive, it has connotations of good hygiene and classiness. Masculinity is attractive, it has connotations of being rough and at times, dirty. Men don't have to be clean to come across attractively, whereas women do- i think that could be why. Obviously, goes without saying though, there are many squeaky clean men and some filthy women out there.

[GingerGuy]

I think for the most part yes. Biologically women's sense of smell is stronger than a man's also so that probably has something to do with it. Plus all the various feminine products women like to wear. Guys don't care as much about that stuff.

[Shorty1991]

I prefer guys to have good hygiene, there's nothing worse than a guy having ass breath, stinking of B. O, pish and shite. I've met a few guys like that. But thank hod it was only a few of them. Lol.

[Pac-Man]

*sniffs armpit* How do you feel about guys that smell like curry?

[Shorty1991]

@Pac-Man mmmm curry :P makes me hungry. Lol. It could get quite sickening, but its better than any of the odours I mentioned above.

[Bandit74]

I have heard girls say that that ladies restrooms are in some cases more disgusting than the guys :/

But when it comes to personal hygiene I agree, girls are more proactive with bathing, wearing perfume/deodorant, changing clothes etc..

[james_beau]

As a guy in colllege It seems like that. But I also see some guys who take care of themselves in hygienic rise. But that is more of junior and seniors.

[popsickle]

yeah. usually that's the case. I'm not sure if it's just because women are more meticulous by nature or expectations of femininity.

[ChaosKilledTheDinos]

It depends on the person, but most of the girls I know have better hygiene habits than most guys I know personally.

[Azara]

I like guys that have really good hygiene. Usually that means they are a bit upright but Ill take it if it means clean body:)

[Greggy]

As far as I know,90% of de time girls r far more hygienic than de men
Ironically, its also true dat squeaky-clean girls have de worst bathrooms

[LaVilaine]

I think in general that most people are pretty good about not being disgusting.

[Tanisha69]

Come on now. You know we have better hygiene. everyone knows that. I love guys but most guys do not care about stuff like that enough.

[Unapologetic-1]

I don't know about that. But the males I know are always clean and smells amazing. Even after their workout and with their sweat ❤️

[Polocrew]

I shower thrice and have like biggest cologne collection ever

[Asker]

Speak for yourself.

[Polocrew]

Spoken

[93stepsawayfromhome]

I get that these are supposed to be troll questions, but this is actually something I haven't noticed. B.

[Anonymous]

I think part of it is that men have a stronger smell, probably as some kind of territorial thing.

[Aqualung]

Duh, wake up and smell the coffee, dude. You haven't noticed it until now?

[TonyRyanAgain]

I don't know, I shower once sometimes twice a day. I'm OCD when it comes to hygiene, lol.

[luvstoned4him]

I've met some neat and tidy males before.

[idkwtftoputhere]

guys barely shower? Nasty
