Comments on: How To Bathe Or Shower: A Guide For Men http://www.misanthropytoday.com/how-to-bathe-or-shower-a-guide-for-men/ Hating Everyone Since 2005 .............(This Could Take Awhile) Wed, 01 Feb 2012 01:10:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Randy http://www.misanthropytoday.com/how-to-bathe-or-shower-a-guide-for-men/#comment-7798 Randy Tue, 30 Aug 2011 13:28:41 +0000 http://www.misanthropytoday.com/?p=718#comment-7798 Licensed Cosmotologist here. I've worked with hair and skin care for many years and while your instructions are thorough, there are a few minor inaccuracies and a few things that are better left unsaid. Let's get that out of the way first, shall we? Using the term "asshole" while you're trying to give advice lessens your credibility. Behaviour like that puts your readers on the defensive. It will make them want to dissprove you rather than listen to you. So chose your battle wisely. The ritual of cleaning oneself can not be done by using a cookie-cutter recipie, and is not bound to a "top-down" method. In fact, cleaning starts on the inside. All the scrubbing you can muster will be useless if you overlook the source of the odor. You must be aware that there are conditions of the skin and/or glands that can produce unpleasant body odor through no fault of the person. The food you eat contributes to the smell of your body. Even the color of your sweat can be affected by your diet. So, show some compassion because some who are repulsed by their own body odor can't be cured with a hop into the shower. And for the record, if you are eating healthy/right, your poop won't have a foul odor. As a general rule, you should limit detergent of ANY kind on your skin. It is unnecessary and can rob the skin of oil that it needs to maintain elasticity. More importantly, the oils you wash away carry the feremones that bring people to you. There are only 5 areas of the body that ever (not always) need a detergent cleaning--and you missed 1 of them. The areas of the body that secrete oil (not sweat) and odor are the areas that need detergent. It is the oil from the glands in those areas that produce the odor. Sweat contains no significant oil and does not stink. How quickly does sweat evaporate off your skin? Very quickly. This would not be possible if it had high oil content. Finally, the areas of the body that need detergent. 1) Scalp 2) Crotch 3) Buttocks 4) Armpits 5) Face. The remaining areas require nothing more than warm water. Licensed Cosmotologist here.

I doubt men get a sense of cleanness when they get the shampoo all over their bodies, rather I'm pretty sure they feel it sticky and can't wait to wash in those areas. But good tip on the foot powder, i'll get right on that :D errrr Shampoo is supposed to go first; if you wash your body first then when you wash your hair and rinse off all the shampoo off (which is now the equivalent of used soap water, aka dirty) it will go all over your body and you’ll have to start again since you just moved all the crap from your hair to your body.
