Just please make sure you wash your clothes really often. Frankly, I find a daily shower the best thing about modern plumbing.
Am I the only person to imagine Rosey Grier crooning “It’s okay to smell”
Studmuffin seems like a very poor imitation of our dear lost Dio. Certainly I’m not the only one to notice his odd posts.
It worked for Rasputin.
Speaking of which, there is a beer called “Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout” which in one set of ratings got a 4.5 out of 5 for smell. Go figure.
You are right.
Tens of thousands of years of biological evolution prove you right.
It’s the vast sea of ignorant drones that you have to deal with — the ones that are convinced only what they perceive is true and nothing else.

If you wanna stink, go ahead. Just stay away from me. I’ll continue taking my daily shower, thank you very much.
Well, notice I said a good clean sweat. There is a difference between that and lack of showering. I’m sorry I confused you.
Sometimes I like spaghetti. Sometimes I’m more in the mood for a hamburger. Does that make me a hypocrite? Should I relentlessly eat nothing but spaghetti in the name of moral integrity?
Probably.
I was ten years old before I lived in a house that had a shower. Up until then, I had a bath every week, or when I got muddy.
Not a big deal when you’re a kid.
Now I shower every day, often two or three times if I’m swimming or footballing. I don’t take long showers though. Waste of time. I reckon people spend too long in the shower.
I once had a girlfriend who showered only every two or three days. She didn’t smell bad. I liked it. We were pretty… ermmm… rampant (sorry to use that word).
I will come right out and admit that I do sometimes skip a day showering. But it’s never been more than that and I can’t imaging the funk coming from a body that hasn’t bathed NOR changed clothes in six weeks. It feels good to be clean.
They must be very little whores, or have excellent balance. 
But even when I was a kid and we didn’t have a shower, I still took a bath every night. Or do you mean you didn’t even have a regular bath tub either?
My grandmother still doesn’t have a shower in her house, just a bathtub.
Even in prison, you shower three times a week.
Bathing once a week is unsanitary.
YUCK.
I’ve always been the type to shower every morning. SOMETIMES I shower at night and and set my hair (when it’s long) and then take a bath with a shower cap on in the morning…but I don’t even understand people who shower at night and then sleep for 8 hours in and wake up and think…oh hey, I already took a shower!
Bleeech. Usually people can tell.
Needn’t be. washing once a week maybe, but a weekly bath combined with daily washes with flannel and soap and daily changes of clothes needn’t be a problem - depending on the lifestyle of the person - obviously physical labour and exposure to lots of dirt is going to require more rigour.
(I bathe/shower at least once a day, with additional washes, BTW, so I’m not defending a personal preference here)
Hah! I say the same thing about people who shower in the mornings. I can’t imagine jumping into bed with the day’s crustiness on me.
I think it depends if you’re a night sweater. I don’t sweat at night so when I wake up, I don’t feel grimy or dirty. But I do have excretions during the day. Unless I’m just too exhausted to do anything before falling asleep, all of that grime needs to be washed off before I dare get into bed and mess up my sheets.
As long as some soap and water is touching your body SOME time during the day, I don’t think anyone will notice.
Yeah, not hypocritical. Fresh sweat = OK, Old manky sweat and never changing your clothes = Not OK. Two entirely different things.
“Would you like some birthday cake?”
“Yeah!”
“Here it is, my birthday was nine weeks ago and it’s been sitting on the counter ever since. I think the cat’s been nibbling on it.”
“Uh, no thanks.”
“But it’s birthday cake! You hypocrite!”
I shower two to three times daily, use anti-perspirant and body powder, brush religiously and use mouthwash before going out and normally wear a modest amount of a subtle, marculine cologne. If I’m going to offend anyone I do my best to make sure it’ll be with my personality.
We ought have a thread/poll about washing before going to bed. I personally at least brush my teeth, wash my face, and preferably wash my feet (this make a world of difference how comfy I feel in my bed). Ideally a shower but I only take shower before going to bed if I had a long day out or feel I need one.
