How do I get my boyfriend to shower?

    Me and my boyfriend have been dating for almost 1 years now. I'm 20 and he's 23. I've noticed that he doesn't really like taking showers. I myself don't like to go a day without showering at least once. I just feel so refreshed after I take a shower and even if I've been sitting at home all day, I still feel the need to shower and refresh my body. Once, I went to visit him for 3 days, and he wore the same outfit all three days (without showering). He did take those clothes off to sleep but just put the same ones on for the next two days. I try not to be the overly bossy, bitchy girlfriend that demands that her boyfriend do things but I don't think this is too much to ask. I would feel so nasty if I went three days without a shower. Am I right in having these feelings or do I have a right to ask him to shower. His excuse for not showering is that the soap makes his hands dry. I'd actually even be happy with him showering every other day. Anyway, how can I ask him to politely take a shower? Any other girls have this problem? And guys have this problem with their girlfriends?:confused:

    "Accidently" shit on him while making love-if he doesn't take one after that there's something wrong with him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,272 ✭✭✭✭Max Power1

    As suggested above - but bring lube too! :D

    Show him this thread.

    Or go to the Daily Mail.

    (Same thing)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,362 ✭✭✭Sergeant


    Tell his mother. He sounds like the type who will listen to her.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,918 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    Promise him a blow job.

    After he showers of course

    Award him his brown wings.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,331 ✭✭✭✭bronte


    Ewww......develop some kind of ocd like aversion to germs and refuse to so much as touch him if he isn't fresh as a daisy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,893 ✭✭✭Canis Lupus


    Refuse sex or as stated get in first. We're embarrassingly easy to manipulate :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,381 ✭✭✭fakearms123


    Take note

    Veronica Corningstone: My God, what is that smell?
    Brian Fantana: That's the smell of desire, my lady.
    Veronica Corningstone: God no, it smells like, like a used diaper filled with Indian food! Oh, excuse me.
    Brian Fantana: You know, desire smells like that to some people.
    Garth Holliday: What is that? Smells like a turd covered in burnt hair.
    News Station Employee: It smells like Bigfoot's dick!

    If it is genuinely down to showering drying his skin out (and not just an excuse!) get him a tub of aqueous cream from boots to wash with instead of soap/shower gel.

    AH answer- don't wash yourself for a month and see how he likes it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Dump the scummy fcuker for someone who understands basic hygeine. Or picture the amount of sweat, bacteria and dead skin cells all over him every time you go heels to jesus.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,200 ✭✭✭muppetkiller


    I'd actually seriously say "Start showering or find another girlfriend".
    Poor personal Hygiene is a major turn-off.
    Can't use Soap ??? Ever heard of Shower Gel ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 666 ✭✭✭scottie pippen


    so you guys sleep together (I take it you guys have sex)
    then he gets up the next day and puts his clothes on and goes about the day as normal.

    that's fairly manky! dose he smell?

    most people wouldn't tolerate that, you wouldn't be out line to speak to him about it from a hygiene point of view

    or as suggested above, ask him to shower with you


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,463 ✭✭✭Kiwi_knock


    Swallow a couple of bottles of shampoo and then give him a golden shower. He shall smell perfect then.

    Become a bad babysitter making six bucks an hour.......... woooo I got my boyfriend in the shower.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,619 ✭✭✭ilovesleep


    Give him a golden one. That will get his ass in gear


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,718 ✭✭✭upandcumming


    What in the name of fuck is wrong with people that don't shower?
    I really don't get it! "I'd rather go around smelling of death than have dry hands?"
    You must really love this chap...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    That's pretty sick. I shower once a day and whilst I wouldn't expect everyone else to shower once a day, going several days without showering whilst in the company of your girlfriend and wearing the same clothes to boot, is pretty rank. I would simply be honest and tell them that I'm a little offput by their lack of hygiene...I know it's daunting and difficult, but it's the kinder thing for both parties in the end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,238 ✭✭✭Ardennes1944


    I don't get it either. It's horrible. I can't stand not being clean.

    I'd say leave a trail of crumbs into the shower


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,132 ✭✭✭Killer Pigeon


    Put a message up on facebook about it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 666 ✭✭✭scottie pippen


    dose he wear the same condom the next day too? :D

    Men aren't as fragile as women about personal hygiene. We often take a strange kind of pride in smelling like we've been doing a hard day's work.

    "You smell, go take a shower" won't be taken as an insult. It will be taken as a literal statement of fact and acted upon. Telling a woman that she smells will likely result in her developing an OCD complex about it and showering 15 times a day and bathing in perfume.

    thats fairly nasty! i shower twice a day most days!

    i'd say the key is not to confront him about it and ask him if he'd like to join you in the shower or even bath! no straight man is gonna refuse!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,421 ✭✭✭major bill


    Dress like a knacker yourself and dont shower for a week and see how he likes it!!!!

    Put a stink bomb in his shoes and if he doesn't notice throw a bucket of warm water over him .Not showering sounds like a cop out = just plain lazy .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,542 ✭✭✭Captain Darling


    Tell the smelly fecker for jaysis sake. Its not fair on your if he's he's going around smelling like solidified fart.

    Just febreeze the smelly f*cker


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,712 ✭✭✭lorebringer


    Buy him some moisturising shower gel (Dove or something similar) and refuse any sexual activities until he showers - if he knows he won't get any, he'll crack pretty quickly.

    I'm hoping when you say "he wears the same clothes for 3 days in a row" it doesn't include underwear, he better (for your sake) be changing these - if not, he's a nasty, nasty boy :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭St.Spodo


    Is he a Jew? He might have Post-Holocaust Shower Paranoia. You might have to bring him to a counselor.

    My boyfriend has been known not to shower for a week. Either tell him he stinks, or withhold sex. The only things that work really.


  • Posts: 6,025 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    And you are attracted to him because......???

    Seriously, how can you even be with someone who dosent wash?? Skanky.

    This all begs the question: what is the actual attraction to this guy?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,819 ✭✭✭howamidifferent


    That's rank and theres no excuse for it...
    How desperate are these women that they will stick with an unwashed bloke.

    Tell him he's rank and that you play with yourself till he gets into a daily showering routine...and no, he cant watch...:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 57,377 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Also, his excuse about the soap, does all the soap and creams/gels in the world make his hands dry? Or is it just HIS soap?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,819 ✭✭✭howamidifferent


    Tell him he's supposed to use Water with the soap, then it wont be dry...:D
