You sweat throughout the night so the sweat has been sticking in your asscrack, in your hair, in your armpits and you're not going to wash in the morning? Ewww

I don't know about you, but I sure don't wake up in the morning covered in sweat. Maybe you just have crazy dreams.

You don't have to be covered in it but your body does secrete sweat throughout the night. Sorry, I'd rather shower in the morning and to go to work feeling and smelling clean. However, I do have crazy dreams.

Girlfriend? Friends? Job? I'm assuming no on all of those.

How could you not bathe every day? That's...gross?

My friend from Germany said the people in his area only shower every three days or so. Seemed odd to me.

That's why they stink like sauerkraut.

i take a shower everyday unless i know that i'm going to be staying home for the whole day (ie: if i'm sick) - and even then, i still usually take a shower

once a day, because that's what i'm used to and i feel dirty if i don't.

the last time i enjoyed going more than a day without a shower (or bath in those days) was when i was a kid, under 10 years old i'd say. i don't think cleanliness and hygiene is high up there on the priority list for little boys :p

You know he's just going to lie now, so why did you even ask?

Well, everyone is different. I smell and feel just fine when I get up in the morning after taking a shower the night before. It's not like I did anything in between the two.

In college, you can get away with once a week. Once you get a real job, you'll need to start showering practically everyday. You'll also have to start wearing nice clothes too.

about 5-6 times a week. I don't produce a body odor like half of you. When I sweat a great deal, I don't stink. It takes a bloodhound to actually sense my odor.

You're bragging about this?

Yup

Youre an idiot.

I typically shower at night - I like to get the funk from work off of me and I like to sleep while clean. It also helps me to unwind for the day. Additionally I am in no way a morning person so I absolutely hate to do any more than absolutely necessary in the morning. Stupid mornings.

Sometimes I won't shower on a weekend if I crash over at the girlfriend's house and we wake up and are just on the go all day (hell even in most of those cases I try to run home to shower and change).
