[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Americans shower too much and for too long. It is a waste of water. It is a luxury. The rest of the world, especially in poor places, do not shower as much.

But to be reasonably clean, twice a week is enough. You can supplement this with a washcloth and cleaning selected areas periodically.

And odor is not a problem if you use deodorant, lotions, perfumes, etc.

I am a spoiled American that showers daily.[/quote]

Do you work in corporate America or any American owned company?  I guarantee you if you attend any meetings smelling the way you have described is ok, you will not be there for long.  Your malodorous body will be annoying and distracting to your colleagues and someone will either tell you you smell or they will slowly begin to exclude you from meetings and you will find yourself leaving voluntarily or shown the door for various reasons but the body funk will be the culprit.  I would find it highly annoying working with anyone who smells like they have not bathed in several days.  It is best to teach young people good hygiene at 11 years old than have them risk losing a job over a simple thing like showering regularly.[/quote]
