I take my shower in the evening-it’s easier because then I go to bed feeling all nice and clean, and I can get ready quicker in the mornings. I wash up in the mornings, of course, but I take my full shower at night.
Plus, I always feel really grimy after a long day-sweaty, tired, and just in need of a nice, hot shower.
Dearie? Dearie?
I’m a bloke avec hairy pits I’ll have you know 
Perhaps this is an example of that recurring problem of lumping some 30 countries under the banner ‘Europeans’, like we all went to the same school of hygiene or something.
Indeed.
I blame the Eurovision Song Contest for letting Israel in (my only objection is geographical!).
Born American here, and I shower when I need a shower. Sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon and sometimes in the evening. I probably shower 4-5 times a week during the summer and 3-4 in the winter. I guess I don’t produce a lot of natural stink or oil.
I shower every day for work, and most of the time on the weekend. If it’s hot, every day. If it’s cooler, or I’ve not done any work that has caused me to work up a sweat, then I might skip a Saturday or Sunday shower out of lazyness.
If I’m hunting that day, then it’s not just a shower, but one with scent free products.
There are two types of jobs. Those where you shower before working, those where you shower after.
I would say office work, sales, things where image is important, fall into the first catagory. Construction, service industry, things where one gets dirty or sweaty while working fall into the second. If I didn’t shower after work (construction), my bedding would reek, my skin would break out, my sinuses would suffer…
I also shower before a date, going out with friends, going to church, etc… I like smelling and feling fresh.
BTW, you probably won’t be able to get one definitive answer here. Seems more like an opinion poll.
We like to keep our hair spotlessly clean. We wash it at least once every two weeks. Once every two weeks!
Not singling out anyone in this thread, but there is plenty of subjective evidence suggesting that some of us are clueless when it comes to evaluating whether we possess objectionable bodily odors.
Maybe bathing/showering is overrated. Rasputin hardly ever did, and he got plenty of babes.
I trust that my wife would tell me if I was a stank-ass! 
The Mongols at the time of Genghis Khan followed a shamanistic religion which believed that water was a magic substance used only by sorcerors. Getting rained on while riding horses was the only “bath” Mongols ever got.
When they conquered Islamic lands and found people constantly bathing and making ablutions with water several times a day, the culture shock must have been considerable. All those sorcerors running around loose…!
This time of year I have to shower in the evening. My shiny new students are at their shiny new community placements working with children, who have all just gone back to school and are busy transmitting diseases. I sometimes change clothes in the garage after work so my germ-infested garments can go directly into the wash.
Yeah, and look what happened to him!
It’s like the old cowboy joke- I take a bath once a year, whether I need it or not.
I don’t understand showering only in the morning.
You live during the day, right? Living involves sweating, being sprayed by diesel exhaust and people’s sneezes, and tolieting. The idea of taking all of the day’s grime to bed is repulsive. I don’t sleep well when I’m dirty. And I hate the idea that I’m soiling my sheets every time I lay down.
I know some people sweat a lot while they sleep. I don’t, since I sleep with a fan. So upon waking, I can jump out of bed and dress. I save 5-10 minutes by saving my shower for the night.
All the day’s grim, if any, lands mostly on the hands and face, maybe arms. The rest is covered with clothing.
But a person sweats all over his/her body, correct? And what about your butt and genitals, arm pits, and other moist, funky areas? Don’t you feel all sticky and gross?
Psychologically, showering at night makes the most sense to me. I get to wash away all the day’s stresses and problems, properly closing out the day before I go beddy-bye. Seems to me that going to bed with the day’s dirt on you is also like taking the day’s burdens with you to bed as well. I admit this is a strange way of looking at it.
I used to shower morning AND evening, but my skin got so dry and flakey I cut the shower back to just morning. And I feel just as clean.
I do. A lot. And I can’t run the fan, because it’s cold as shit when I go to sleep, this time of year. I know it’ll heat up before I wake up (I’m an unemployed student, so I usually get up in the afternoon), but I can’t leave the fan running because I’ll be too cold to get to sleep in the first place. So I change my sheets every day, sometimes multiple times if I wake up in the middle of the night after sweating a lot, and I shower in the morning because showering at night seems pretty pointless.
No, not during this time of year. I’m sure you do, because you live in freaking Miami. But I only feel sticky and gross during the summer, and even that only because I live in East County, not within 15 miles of the ocean like I used to.
Kinda fitting that he ended up in the river.
