If he stinks he should be taking one a day at least. Deoderant and cologne would also be a great idea.

At least once a day for me--sometimes twice if I'm going out or something.

I thought that was normal?

The men that I have known bathe daily. My sister has an ex that didn't. Came up in marriage counseling... wasn't helping in the romance department.

Daily , I shower at least once a day , sometimes 2 if I go out and work more afte
I thought was done for the day.

Is he European? I had roommates in college that I literally had to tell them to shower daily. Skipping might work in France or England, but not in hot and humid South Carolina!

I shower daily.

Hey outskiing, don't generalize us poor Europeans. I shower or take a bath at least once a day and so does most people I knew back in Scandinavia.

I have known women who are the same. I don't understand the thought process on that one.

I also know someone who only believes in flushing the toilet only when full. I finally asked why and they consider it a contribution to conserving water. EWWWWWW!

Not sure which is worse BO or TO! (toilet odor)

I take a shower at night and one in the morning before work. Only when camping, or just absolutely worn out do I skip but never do I go without showering for more than one day.

Oops, didn't mean to offend any Europeans! Actually, when I was in England, I could understand that showering daily wasn't necessary (as long as you did wash up). Maybe when people who are used to cooler climates move to where it is warmer, they don't notice the smell?

Funny though, when I was in England, I continued to shower daily and friends got onto me for wasting water.

My stbx usually showered daily, but there were a couple of periods when he was pretty depressed and then he would go sometimes 4 or 5 days without a shower.

Hi! I just left an abussive relationship but, this is simular to a situation I dealt with. My ex-fiancee always dreseed to the "hilt" for work: ie. tie, colone etc. But, on weekends when it was "my time" he would shower... but, he wouldn't shave all weekend. He was a good bit older than I. So, when his whiskers grew in it was gray. It made him look older than my Grandfather. Don't get me wrong, I like gray hair. Then he became physically, emotionally, and verbally abussive. I understand he was sick but, when he would get so nasty and not shave it got so I didn't even want to look at him. He is a very handsome man cleaned up but, he disgusted me when he looked like that. He had the nicest wardrobe. I mean this man had beautiful clothes and shoes etc but, on weekends he would wear this ugliest thing he could find. I like for a man that can go out in the yard etc. and get dirty but, then there is a time to get cleaned up. I would actually be embarrassed to go out shopping with him etc. I am extremely hygeine conscious. I like to keep my hair, nails, make-up etc. up and it would really upset me that he didn't do the same when it was "my time."

All the men I know shower daily but my ex would wear the same jeans to do his remodeling, maybe washing them once a week if that - yuck, sweat and dust, they stood on their own sometimes.....anyho, i just went and bought some little deoderizers the kind you hang in a car, stuffed them in all the pockets of the jeans. He got the hint.

Once a day, perhaps twice if the work load calls for it. However, in my situation, my stbx would ask me (literally, not joking here) "Are you sure you washed, you were only in there 10 min.?"

My boyfriend showers every other day, unless he sweats, in which case he'll shower more often. My father used to shower only 2 to 3 times a week, which used to drive my mom nuts, but growing up he was only allowed to shower twice a week (8 people, 1 shower), so that's what he did.

Empty... knowing some background.. that just made me laugh.. my husband thought I was OCD for sowering more than once a day.
