Recently I've been browsing through some of Roosh's older stuff and came across this:
http://www.rooshv.com/the-daily-shower

Quote:I stopped taking showers every day. I have stopped the religious scrubbing of my masculine body scent with the artificial chemical you call soap. Since then, my success with women has increased 400%. My intoxicating pheremones now fill the air around me, attracting women who long for a rugged, natural man.

I really think there might be something to this. Last week I got my first SNL since starting to seriously work on Game. I'd taken the day off of work because I was a little sick and went to the movie theater. I was feeling a little better after the movie so I went to the bar next door and got a drink. Sat next to two girls at the bar. Instant chemistry. Ran nice guy/asshole game (I was super nice to one of the girls and a total dick to my target). Worked like a charm. The thing is I hadn't showered in a few days and was wearing the same t-shirt I'd slept in. I'm wondering if this had something to do with the instant chemistry.

Another girl in the rotation comes and sees me while she's traveling for work so we usually hook up after she's been traveling for 6 hours straight. There's something about her scent before she showers that drives me nuts. I just can't get enough of her and it makes me want to come inside her raw. So I can definitely tell it works the other way.

Has anybody played around with this? If it seems to work for you, what's the right amount of 'funk' to build up?

With things like this I go through a phase where I push it to an extreme--not showering for days on end--to make a point to myself and observe the red pill reality. Then I settle back into a slightly more "respectable" rhythm but one that is still less "blue pill" than what I had going before.

These days I only use soap when I'm filthy, or after jiu jitsu, when I want to make sure I clean up potential ringworm. I rarely use soap when washing hands. My thinking is that it dries me out and removes organic body oils, which also goes along with Roosh's point about pheremones.

Additionally, with this and other red pill body habit revelations, I just don't panic anymore. Let's say I have somewhere to be and planned to shower, but ended up running out of time. Whatever. It is no longer any big deal. This is a wide and welcome departure from my days as a relatively panicking, hand-wringing beta.

I don't know. Do you guys shit? Do your balls sweat? Do you wear socks and shoes?

There are certain parts of your body that need to be cleaned regularly. I think George Carlin had a routine about this. Face, pits, balls, ass and feet, I don't really feel comfortable unless I clean those areas at least once in a given day.

Well, I know for sure I don't like sex shortly after showering - no natural oil on your skin = "rough" sex - too much friction.

My hair looks much nicer with 1-2 days no shower. Natural oil buildup, not smelly. But then again I work inside and don't build up much of a stink sitting in an office all day.

This is probably more of a lifestyle post, but I advocate pure, simple soap with no fragrance, used very diluted:



I dilute it about 1:4 with water in one of these (threw out the original soap that came in it):



The $10 bottle lasts me about a year like this.

The result? A very clean feeling and only barely rinse with a thin foam all over. I tend to focus a little more on what JR said, face, pits, balls, ass, feet - only a tiny bit of this stuff quickly in my hair and good to go - my natural oil in the hair and skin is somewhat preserved and I'm still able to feel clean and fresh.

I think it's important to smell "fresh" instead of taking the chance of stinking to those around you. It's hard to smell yourself and know when you're "pleasantly masculine" vs. outright BO. In the US, people seem to have little tolerance for natural "unwashed" scent. In Europe or Asia perhaps one can get away with this more.

I've read that girls instinctively favor the smell of guys who are more dissimilar to them genetically. This can't really be predicted that much though, so rather than take the chance of your pheromones turning her off, it would seem best to keep things neutral by smelling clean, so you won't turn off some girls unnecessarily. On the other hand, by putting your smell out there, you might repel some girls 200% more, but attract some 200% more, so I suppose in the end it's a wash. (No pun intended!)

For those of us that do man work, a shower is essential.

That was just a hippie phase.

This thread reminds me of this one summer years ago when my friend's dad spent the summer living in a cardboard box outside of a Jersey Shore restaurant and working in that same restaurant. This guy reaked of Irish Spring the whole summer. I'm pretty sure he didn't take a shower the whole summer and simply found a sink once in a while, wet a bar of Irish Spring and rubbed it all over himself. One night, I walked into a bar and saw this guy sitting there. I, of course, went over to him and started talking to him. Shortly thereafter, some shoobie came up to us, started acting like he knew us, and talked to us for a while. That shoobie eventually left. After he left, my friend's dad turned to me and said, "I'm glad that guy left. You can't get any chicks with that guy around." I, of course, was thinking, "More like you can't get any chicks if you live in a cardboard box outside a restaurant and don't take a shower all summer." My point is, not taking a shower can be fatal and it's a pretty easy thing to fix.

Hell no. Even if it somehow made me more likely to get pussy, I'd still feel disgusted by myself if I intentionally didn't clean up myself. I am already troubled when I sometimes get in a horrible rush and don't manage to shower for 3 days.

Post: #10

I shower twice a day. No wonder it's been a struggle.

In all seriousness, we should be discussing ways to avoid the stank without killing off our pheremonal advantage. I'm sure that we weren't all meant to go out smelling like powder puffs or Irish Spring bars. Perhaps that's part of the reason Roosh advocates baking soda? (It doesn't work too well for me, unfortunately)

If I'm not going to the gym or doing really physical work I can go up to 3 days without a shower, but my hair starts getting pretty oily towards the end. I always re-apply deoderant and will take a mexican shower. I talk about the mexican shower and a little more in this post (on my wordpress).

However, I've had a bunch of instances within the last few months where I ended up neglecting to shower in between girls and I did a quick crotch wash with hand soap and they were none the wiser. Keep yourself BO free, but there's nothing wrong with some natural scent and contrary to society's brainwashing, you don't have to shower every 24 hours (or less).

Scrub yourself skin clean with a exfoliant pad/brush when you shower. With minimal dead skin on your body when your sweat or release the Men fumes you will only be releasing the good stuff and not giving bad bacteria a feast.

BO is largely diet based too so watch what you eat, and/or invest in internal cleansers/deodorants like chlorophyll.

I can't jive with no showering once or twice a day. But I admit I like the sweet musty smell bitches give off after a hard good fuck.

I have to be clean or fresh when I step out but I do recognize when the fresh wares off and if I am in a sweaty bar the (good) aromas start creeping out and I can faintly notice it.

You have to wash your balls and ass daily. Like really? Because unless your using towel wipes on yourself in the key areas not bathing everyday unless your poor, or living in Europe is not an excuse. If your a Canadian or American with a abundance of cheap water to waste its a must.

Whenever I take a shit where it's private and there's a sink present, dampening toilet paper with hot water leaves my ass pristine after even the nastiest of shits. Feels good too.

Never really had easy access to a bidet but I would totally use one if possible.

Talcing your balls (talcum powder/baby powder) is also a MUST for after you get out of the shower and dry off. Keeps you fresher longer and keeps your balls from sticking to the side of your leg when it gets a little hot.

I think you'll work up a bit of natural scent within a few hours of showering, especially in the warm months. Going days without washing in the hopes a chick might catch a whiff of your unwashed balls and approve of the flavor doesn't seem worth the bother. I like feeling clean. I can't imagine getting up in the morning without waking up with a shower. It probably depends on the person. If you don't have oily skin and hair, aren't hairy and don't have a strong natural odor, you can get away with washing less.

Post: #15

Another reason I get irked is because if it's a normal thing people do, then females will do it. Many already do but I gag thinking of bitches going days with our a shower. I have seen bad enough with chics bathing in baby powder and stuff and even that drove me nuts.

Post: #16

I'd like to see someone go days without a shower in 100+ heat with humidity and try to pick up girls. No one is being brain washed or tricked, it's fucking disgusting to not clean yourself if you have access to a shower. Use unscented Dove if you want to have a neutral odor and not smell like soap.

Shit = shower for me, unless I'm caught in public or at a social event. It's gotten to the point where my ass feels physically uncomfortable if there's any shit residue on it at all. I wouldn't do well in the bush.

I don't always use soap or shampoo, but generally I'm rinsing off in water 1-3 times a day, every day. Is That Beta?

Also, double blind studies are still outstanding, but anecdotal inference has subtle traces of cologne outperforming hippie stink when it comes to pheromones.

Have you considered getting a bidet, either full or toilet seat, instead? 3 showers a day is excessive.

Scent is only attractive on someone you are already attracted to.

Your GF will find your smell intoxicatingly sexy.

Your cold prospect will find your smell nauseous.

One of my nicknames is Mr Clean. Nuff said.

It's apart of my ritual for going out, even if it's just to a coffee shop to work on school work or master my music. I have to shower, shave and have a fresh pair of clothes on, otherwise I feel like I'm not leaving my house the best I could be.
