I exude no body odor

Metal Mario · 03-16-2010, 11:31 PM

It's like my super power or something. I've gone four whole weeks without showering, and no one has been the wiser!

You know that you can't smell your own stink, right.

**Valigarmander** · 03-16-2010, 11:42 PM

Maybe you stink so freaking bad that it exceeds the human range of smell.

Do dogs bark at you when you walk by them?

Metal Mario · 03-16-2010, 11:44 PM

^^I thought of that. Fortunately, my parents drop by to visit every now and again, so I can ask them to smell me. And I make them stick their noses right up against me, too.

They always seem to think I'm fine.

**Deku Trii** · 03-16-2010, 11:48 PM

Wouldn't your hair be uncomfortably oily?

Metal Mario · 03-17-2010, 12:15 AM

It gets a little grungy, yeah. And my scalp itches. And I get these weird, uncomfortable sores on the insides of my thighs. Apart from those things, though, I can deal.

I just got out of the shower now, actually. Feels good, I'll admit, although it'll probably be at least another two weeks before my next one. I like to make it at least bi-monthly, though. Four weeks is a bit long, even for me.

t3hDarkness · 03-17-2010, 01:22 AM

But showering feels so relaxing and has good acoustics, why would you not do it daily.

So at that rate we're talking twelve baths a year? Unless you are unable to bath more often I'd step that number up.

***CaptHayfever*** · 03-17-2010, 01:40 AM

^It's twenty-four a year.

I can always smell myself when I start getting kinda rank. In fact, I notice it before anybody else does.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Same. Remember when I was telling you about that Old Spice stuff I bought? I was serious. Get on the Old Spice train, man. You can't go wrong.

I know my math is bad but four weeks is a month, and there are twelve months. At a rate of one bath per month, that should be twelve baths...right?

I know he said he generally does it bi-monthly but I meant at his current rate.

To me, it's just a nuisance. I honestly don't know how people tolerate doing it daily. When I was in high school, I showered every Sunday night, but that was it.

I do have a touch of Asperger's Syndrome (not a crippling sackful of it, just a touch), and I believe there are some other people here who do too. They could testify to the fact that Asperger's makes you a little bit weird when it comes to certain mundane, everyday things.

^ Oh yeah? Mebbe I gots it...

I've been doing this experiment recently where I don't use soap (but I still shower daily); so far it has gone along well. Soap is designed to cut away all of the skin's oils, so after a shower your skin works overtime to prevent your skin from turning into rough rawhide. The theory is if you don't use soap, the oil layer stays somewhat intact, and you don't exude as much. Inspired by boingboing: Body washing with water alone | Boing Boing

Also, this thread is kind of gross. Like, I know it's great how you can say anything on the Internet, but reading this felt unsavoury.

This is it, a legit reason why Universal Health Care can't work for everyone:

Apparently there are "actual" and "real" people who don't understand hygiene, or how it affects their health.

**Valigarmander** · 03-17-2010, 01:13 PM

I can't stand not showering every day. People get all greasy and smelly if they don't.

...Hey, MM, I think I figured out your problem with the ladies.

Actually, I never get sick. The worst I've come to expect is one or two head colds per year. So neener-neener-neener.

Well, obviously, when I think I stand a chance of meeting somebody, I shower. But there just aren't that many opportunities where I live.
