You’ll feel differently after puberty, trust me.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to get that...

Where do you live? Because that can make a massive difference. People who don't shower everyday when we have 40C heat should not be allowed to socialise...

Ask the people who have the misfortune of being downwind of you, friendo - you stink more than you think you do.

Do you know me, son?

That is nonsense, unless you are running miles every day you will not stink that fast or you need to buy some deodorant you savage. It’s just stupid to shower that much. Why not shower every hour if you like overdoing it?

People don’t dislike body odor because of “societal norms.” They dislike it because it smells horrendous. There are people I encounter at least once a week who consistently smell and I have to try very hard to not literally gag over the stench. “De-stigmatizing” body odor doesn’t stop it from smelling awful.

I work one on one with clients, which means I can’t smell like ass and B.O. Instead of skipping showers to avoid drying out your skin, just use gentle soap and some goddamn moisturizer and don't take 35 minute scalding hot showers.

I’m fully aware of everything in this article. I however, still choose to shower every day because despite commonly held belief, I am not in fact a goddamn savage.
