While talking to some friends I discovered that many of them shower every day, or almost every other day. This made me feel as Lord Stinky or something, with me showering only once a week. I mean, of course I will shower more during the week if I do a lot of physical work, but I know people who shower on almost every occasion. Even in the morning. Why? You were sleeping in your bed, not in a pig pen, why shower in the morning? So, anyway, I hope I'm not the only Stinky Poo around here :p, how often do you shower?

Watch your thoughts, for they become words.

Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
You do realize that your bed retains the sweat, dirt, and grime of your household within it's fabric, right? (I have OCD, so I may not count lol)
I shower EVERY day because I find it disgusting not to. I have a rather large friend who showers every two to three days, and he reeks like a dead fish. The thing is, he doesn't believe he does because he is so used to his disgusting odor.
I shower once a day, usually the morning. I might shower twice a day if I'm doing something physical. I just can't go out into public unless I've already showered that day, I don't feel comfortable, I feel like everyone can smell me.
EDIT@Wingerw28: Yeah, I shower in the morning for that exact reason. I used to shower nights but would wake up in the morning feeling sweaty and dirty.
I shower usually once a day. I might skip a day sometimes, but it rarely happens. I shower twice if I had sex.

The interesting thing about us legacy players is that we consider Force of Will, Dark Ritual, Blood Moon, Tarmogoyf and Swords to Plowshare to be fair.
While talking to some friends I discovered that many of them shower every day, or almost every other day.
Every day normally, sometimes twice a day, sometimes I skip a day if I'm like spending all day playing online poker or an MMO, not going outside and my gf is out of town so there's no chance she'll skip out on a make-out or sex session because I reek... This means maybe one day a month I skip out on the shower, at most.
This made me feel as Lord Stinky or something, with me showering only once a week.
Ugh, yeah, definitly Lord Stinky.
Are you in high school? Puberty hit you much yet? If you're still not hitting puberty that might be the only way you're not stinking up the joint after a few days of no showers. I know people who take a shower in the morning and still start stinking at the end of a M:TG tourney. 2 days? Smell starts being overpowering. A WEEK? Do you still have friends hanging around you? Do you ever speak to girls?
It depends on whether or not I'm going out (or at least going anywhere I'm likely to run into someone I know). If not, I aim for at least once every other day. If I am going out, I try to shower every day.
I have naturally oily hair, so if I skip a shower I start looking really, really greasy. After 2 days it looks perpetually wet. It's not pretty.
I don't find I have the time and showering frequently makes my skin really dry. My skin is already really dry normally so when I say "dry", I mean to the point of cracking and sometimes to the point of bleeding, mostly on the bottom of my feet.
Of course, when I do shower, I do so thoroughly. I'm one of those people who will spend 30 to 50 minutes in the shower and then another 10 to 20 minutes to dry myself off and blow dry my hair in the "correct" way. Often, I'll spend another 10 minutes lotioning myself after so my skin doesn't crack.
Some guys claim they shower everyday but it's quite obvious from their hair and such that they don't shower well. There's a lot of people that don't shower thoroughly so you don't have to feel too bad. Some people are never clean, whether they shower or not. My brother is like that.
Personally, I shower once every 2 or 3 days. Mostly, I only shower on the days when I work out. Showering is my incentive to exercise. I also shower whenever I feel grimey, so I do have exceptions. I spend most of my time indoors and don't do any heavy physical activity most of the time so the exception isn't that often, though.
I shower at least every morning AND wash myself quite well; if I came home from work and I'm sweating like hell, then I'll take another one that day as well when I come back.
BTW, I just don't feel right knowing that I went to sleep dirty, especially in the summer when my skin gets really oily from sweat. Anyone else get that?
I go to sauna twice a week, and shower whenever I work out or do something physical, and whenever I feel like it. Anything from 4 to 10 times a week, basically.

I try to shower every morning, but I live a fairly active life, so if I don't make it home for a couple days in a row I'll do without.
When I am working, I shower every morning then again when I get home from work. I can't wake up proper without a shower, and my work is very physical so I end up getting drenched in sweat.
I shower usually every other day. I don't do enough physical activity to warrant showering every day. I usually do it at night because I like to take my time when it comes to showers.
It's pretty much seasonal for me. If the temperature is over 60 F, I'll need to shower daily. If it is consistently below freezing, I can forget for a day or two before I feel filthy. And regardless of whether the season has me showering 4 or 14 times a week, I wash my junk a few times a day. There is no way to maintain attractive genitals without good hygiene.
Once in the morning because it does wonders for my bad knee and it wakes me up without the need for caffeine. Once after work because, well, I work outside with bags of manure all day.
Once a day always in the evening because I don't like going to bed dirty. Every once in while I'll skip a day if all I've done is hang around my house. I don't think I've ever gone more than 2 days without a shower except when I went camping when I was a boy scout.
For morning shower people- Do you change your sheets more often because you go to bed dirty or does it just not bother you?
or dinosaur pirates!!! big hulking dinos with eye patches and peglegs and troll the ocean on their ships made of smaller dinosaur bones in search or treasures. I would sooo go for that. or better yet, slave dinosaurs that serve the pirates like some sick dinotopia world where people own the dinos.
Twice a day. Morning shower, which includes shampooing, wakes me up and recovers me from bed hair as well as preps it up for styling. Evening because it feels nicer to sleep clean. Obviously if I used any hair products during the day I would shampoo again at night as well. Night shower also includes facial cleansing.
My brother showers once every 2 or 3 days and I find it pretty disgusting.
Well. You should shower at least once a day. I usually shower during the day or at night before I go to sleep, depending on what I do. But I always shower when I'm sweaty and when I get home sweaty. I wash my hair every second day.
I don't always need to shower twice a day. But I shower every day, simply because I think that the stink can easily drive people away, but it also shows lack of personal hygiene on your part. Take care of yourself dammit!

In general, I shower every day. However, I don't wash my hair every day. Maybe 2-3 times a week. I have about 2 feet of hair though, and if you constantly shampoo, it will destroy the integrity of the hair and make it brittle. My *******, however, does not have this problem. So to answer the question, every day.
Twice a day in the summer and once a day in the winter (its to cold to shower in the evening in the winter.... serously you can have Icicles forming on your body even with proper drying)
Once or twice a day. Usually I work out right after I wake up, so I only shower once in the morning, but often if I go running or play some heavy-duty DDR another shower at night is called for.
I shower six times a week - I almost always miss one of my days off of work because I'm tend to get overbooked. When I shower changes around, but it's generally within a few hours of going to work as being clean is a top priority in kitchens.
I used to shower once a week for a few months back in high school, but I was being aggressively lazy and I know it had a negative impact all around. I'd think if you weren't sweating much or at all, once every two or three days could be enough.
