I will shower if there is any kind of gel or hair styling product in my hair. If not, I won't.

So, typically if I showered the prevous morning, went to work, and showered at night, then I wouldn't. (all I'm going to do is sleep in, eat, and play games anyway)

If I didn't shower the previous night and so have some gel in my hair, then I would shower.

That is basically my criteria for showering. Is there gel in my hair?

Otherwise, only if I'm going out or somethign.

That's what Fabreeze is for. I am really surprised by some of you guys. Hell, when I was up in Alaska fishing I was lucky if I got to shower more than once a week. Nothing like the smell of Diesel and Fish all day long. Also, when I did shower they were usually in Laundromats. What do you guys do when you go camping?

stay in a 4-star hotel.

I'll shower, but I take my sweet ass time getting to it, sun might be down by the time I get to it.

Nice. Usually I just don't take one until I feel all sticky on that day off. There are so much more to do on that day off!!

Yes. Never know who might stop by, or if I'll need to run out. A shower gets me going in the morning, too. Gotta have the shower and coffee to achieve consciousness.

Nah i shower once every 2days, i use deodorant and wash my face. If i shower everyday i get dry skin and such since im not a greasy person. Most i'll ever go without a shower is 3days, and normally i wear the same clothes after work/school since noone is around anyway. Being clean all the time dries me out, if i dont shower for just 1day its not like i clear out every isle in wal-mart or whatever.

If I know I'm going to be working around the place, like yard work, or going to the gym, then I usually don't shower. However I do shower sometime during the day 99% of the days. On off days like Saturdays it is usually in the afternoon/evening.

Yes, unless I come home really late at night and pass out before I can shower. In which case I shower the next morning.

I generally shower twice a day, but occassionally, on a day off, I will skip showering altogether.

You people do realize that constantly showering in hot water and washing your skin is doing more harm than good? Hot water strips your skin of needed moisture.

it also rids you of your natural pheromones. How do you think all those French and Italian guys get all the females?

Strange thing though, is that the idea of daily showering has only come into practice fairly recently (like within the last 100 years)

Makes you wonder how human-kind survived many millennia with bi-weekly or monthly bathing/showering. ;)
