Why do some people not like taking showers?

[massb]

I take showers everyday and in the summer twice a day. I know some people that go days without showering and that's disgusting. What do you guys think and how often do you shower?

Once a day

Once every other day

Once every few days

Once a week

Every few weeks

There's plenty of health studies that have proven if you don't sweat during the day, it's not necessary to shower every day and it can actually be harmful in some ways.

Frequent showering can strip your skin and hair of their natural oils, which can lead to dryness and irritation.

Also your skin hosts many beneficial bacteria that protect against harmful microbes. Overwashing actually disrupts that balance.

All I can say is don't be a sheep and assume that people that don't shower daily are dirty. Some are, some aren't. You can usually tell by how they smell if they're not showering often enough.

[massb]

Okay so how often do you shower? I sweat a lot so I have to shower everyday. At least before I leave the house. If I'm not going anywhere I might skip a day but most times. its everyday

[massb]

If you go out your touching things and leaning on things so your body will pick up germs and get dirty.

I've been sick in recent months and the act of taking a shower wears me out really badly.
So bad that after I'm done, I'm so exhausted that I sweat my ass off for a few hours afterwards and I end up needing another shower.
So, I've been trying to not sweat, stay as clean as I can, and just wash up a bit here and there.
It's a Catch 22 situation.

I used to shower once or twice a day.
I hope I can get back to doing that.

[massb]

Yea at least your trying and I hope you feel better soon

[nolabels]

Thanks.
I appreciate that.

Cheers to you!

Some people prefer taking a bath instead. Nothing wrong with that. That's what bathtubs are for.

Maybe you could have added to your choices "I take baths instead".

[massb]

Yea I guess so , but I just ment like taking a shower or bath at all.

[Mr_twoface]

Generally I shower once or at times twice a day. However, there are times when you visit people and stay the night when you are literally indoors all day and chill, those moments I can just skip it. If I tend to go out, then tend to shower.

[massb]

Exactly I'm the same way I agree

[Lovetomakeyoucum]

These are the things people have asked ainc time began it is because of the people and how they have to ives and coped on todays world it is about perception perspective and reactions to the lot bestowed upon our shoulders we take it the best we can for the burden your shoulders and mind can uphold another shall fall beneath the weight of

[massb]

Yea I guess so, it's still disgusting though. And we have so much more amenities now to be clean. That they didn't have before. So there is no excuse, it's just laziness

[SotiCoto]

Because it is heavily uncomfortable and takes ages to dry off properly.

I shower, but I don't like showering. I hate showering. I do it because I have to do it.
I've tried basically everything to avoid having to shower before... but none of the rest worked. Not even setting my skin on fire in an attempt to burn the dirt off.

Anyone who actually claims to enjoy showering is clearly as insane as people who claim to enjoy sunlight.

[massb]

I don't think anyway enjoys it per se but I enjoy feeling clean and smelling good afterwards. Just like sometimes I don't like going to the gym but I do it anyways to stay In shape

[DrPepper12]

I was just read the riot act by my dermatologist to cut the shit and stop showering every day. Shampoo every 1-3 days, dove soap specialty bars, no luffa or facecloths - just use hands & soap, get thick pile low thread 100% cotton towels to pat dry, lotion every day and stop shaving everyday.

Yeah, she was serious and meant business!!

[massb]

Yea whatever works as long as you shower

[Sharkstealth]

It's actually been proven that excessive use of processed soaps and shampoos actually do more damage than good to the human body. Many people also use cancerous and disease causing cleaning chemicals also. This shows a dependency on pier stupidity and television product dependency without question.

[massb]

Okay with that said how often should you shower then? And if you sweat a lot then what are you supposed to do?

[Sharkstealth]

Look up The Liver King.

[Sharkstealth]

It's all really up to you. Your probably around women who would not want to be near you if you don't follow societies advertised rules.

[massb]

Okay I will and we'll I don't want to stink and I like to leave the house smelling good so. But what about you? How often do you shower?

[Sharkstealth]

Just depends on what I'm doing but my hair is receding from the use of shampoo. I like good colognes and tailored clothing so I smell and look very nice sometimes. I have very short hair and have for a while and I am a truck driver so I don't smell or feel any different if I skip a day. Nor do other people even notice.

[Charliefretz329]

At least once a day when there is a shower or some water source available. More often when I’m getting really sweaty and dirty. Who wants to be all nasty?


Sometimes while hiking 🥾 or in a foreign country traveling for work, I’ll have to go longer between showers. But anytime I get the chance to freshen up even in a creek or a bathroom sink, I’m on it quick!

[massb]

Exactly I fully agree but some people think otherwise which is nasty

[Charliefretz329]

I can’t understand how they can be comfortable with rashes and skin problems

[massb]

They try to say its not healthy to shower everyday. But to each it's own I guess

[Charliefretz329]

Yuck

[ChicoFromThe305]

I skip a day or two cause i heard it's not healthy for the skin to take constant showers, also there's many days I know I won't sweat, besides i dont have any hot water either lol

[massb]

Possibly, but if I'm sweating all day I need to take one. If not then no, or before I leave the house I need to take one. And damn understandable

[Alex-Snow]

I like them. IO workout every day... either from a long run or a long swim and like a shower afterward. Sometimes a shower before and/or after sex is also fun.

[massb]

Same here that's why I have to shower daily even if I didn't workout everyday i still would. I don't know why people like to be dirty

[NathanDavis]

could be depression

[massb]

Yea possibly

[OddBeMe]

This can be a sign of depression.

[massb]

For some cases probably yea , but I'm talking about the people who just don't want to

[OddBeMe]

Hard to parsel out I’d say. Why wouldn’t people want to be clean?

[massb]

I have no idea , some people say they just don't have to shower everyday

[Fireguy17]

At least once a day.

[massb]

I agree especially in the summer

[Fireguy17]

Sometimes a couple 2 3 times.

[12karen]

Twice a day usually

[massb]

Same here

[Iron_Man]

Your water bill must be outrageous

[massb]

Not really it's just to shower , wash the dishes and the toilet so not really

[Iron_Man]

I could never have somebody like you as a roommate. I have a water leak

[massb]

So you don't want to smell good? You rather smell like shit? If I sweat and I smell I'm taking a shower. Before I leave the house I'm taking a shower and smelling good. If you don't want to smell good that's on you. I just said twice a day in the summer because I sweat a lot

[Iron_Man]

You don’t understand what I’m trying to tell you and who is talking about me I said my water bill is outrageous. I can’t have a roommate that takes two showers a day and you probably daydream in there. Do you want to pay my water bill wise guy?

[massb]

First you said your water bill must be outrageous referring to me. Then you said you could never have me as a roommate. And no if I need a shower guess what I take one. I'm sorry if your dirty and want to go days without one

[Iron_Man]

Clown 🤡

[Iron_Man]

One shower once a day no more than five minutes you’re not there to daydream and fall asleep. You’re there to wash and clean up. Save the water bill leak appreciate the landlord what he’s going through

[Iron_Man]

if you had to pay for all that high priced water bill you wouldn’t want. Nobody taking any showers especially more than five minutes a day.

[massb]

Did I say how long the showers were? No you just assumed

[MrGSpotHer]

I don't shower at all actually it's been years..

[massb]

Lol very funny sure

[MrGSpotHer]

I bathe, I don't need to be rained on anymore. It rains enough where I'm from

[massb]

Okay makes sense. As long as your cleaning yourself

[MrGSpotHer]

I'd definitely be clean even if I was homeless 🤣

[massb]

Same lol
