[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for a international company and have to do trade shows all over the world and HOLY SHIT, the body odor at some of these shows-especially France and Germany is overwhelming (dont' get me started on India, Malaysia, Dubai, and Cairo....that is just a whole other level of odor, that I'd like to just forget).  I feel like the Europeans are clean (unlike the above other areas), but their BO, it is just like they don't use deodorant. The business suits and the lack of A/C, the smell can bring tears to my eyes.

For me, I do shower in the morning, I normally have sex with my DH and don't exactly want to go into the office smelling "ripe".  In the summer, I usually shower and rinse off before bed. Don't most people? I thought that was the norm? Seems from the responses it is.

So WHY do Americans shower twice a day?[/quote]

The thing is that if we as Americans didn't shower daily, we'd actually get used to a little BO smell.  And I don't think that would be a bad thing.  We actually waste a lot of water with washing hair daily.

That said, I shower daily, but I do it at night before I go to bed.  I have long hair and I let it air dry.  But I don't necessarily think that I'm culturally superior because I shower daily.  In fact, I think we're spoiled and wasteful and a bit prissy.  But I'll admit I'm not going to be the first to give up my daily shower.

I don't think we're prissy and spoiled because we don't care to smell like a Philly cheesesteak with extra onions or old hotdog water. [/quote]
