So I have balls and yeah they're the first thing on my body to start to smell. I can skip a shower if I'm in a hurry and I don't smell much. That's with working a job that's usually physical. I was a punk kid fucking punk girls when I was younger and we didn't bathe every day. I didn't notice much smell then.

Now I see these ads regularly that are like hey women you stink after 12 hrs 5/10. What's up?

Must not live in a very humid area, 4 days wouldnโ€™t fly here for anyone that goes outside at all

[โ€“] victorz 1 points 6 months ago

It's not very humid in the winter, no. Far in the northern hemisphere, here. Farther than 63ยฐ North. So very dry air during the winters. I guess I do shower a bit more seldom in the winter. That's probably true.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Humid or or not I find 4 is doable but 3 is more ideal but only if I don't do any strenuous activity. If I do then I pretty much like to shower it all off.

[โ€“] victorz 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

And this is exactly what is happening with me. I don't actually wait until 4 days, because if I do I start to smell. People in this thread are confused about that and down voting according to their confusion lol.

I actually do sunday and wednesday nights so go the four but its the end of the weekend when I can sorta afford it. Its not like I stink to high heaven. I can just sorta tell that really 3 is the sweet spot.

Exactly the same for me. ๐Ÿ‘ Apart from the days of the week. ๐Ÿ™‚

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

basically im prioritizing work week even though its remote and figure sunday I don't often go out except in realtion to holidays.

[โ€“] victorz 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Seems reasonable.

I usually shower after I play badminton twice a week, then Saturday on the ~~third~~ second day after the last badminton of the week. It's perfect. I never feel dirty.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah any type of significant extertion and gotta clean up and also special events and such.

You get it. Most other people in this thread are being absolutely ridiculous morons (and very rude, too). I lost faith in the Lemmy community with this thread, seriously. Bunch of prejudiced assholes who won't listen to what is being said. They don't know me. Never met me. Seem to think they know more about me than I know about myself, when they've never ever met me before, or even seen what I look like. That's some low-IQ shit. Very frustrating. It's Reddit again.

I mean. you need to have a bit thicker skine when interacting online. Some of these folks might be ruder at one point in the day and not in another based on how much or little they thought or even just their mood. great thing about online is you should never be to vested in what people say or think.

[โ€“] victorz 1 points 6 months ago

Well, I check Lemmy a few times a day and then I forget about it, so it's not too big of a deal lol. It's just disappointing to see such low-quality human interaction.
