Horses sweat, men perspire, but women merely glow

Alternative title - do you sweat?

Sitting here on a tram in 34 degrees, and it seems that the moisturiser is coming back out of my legs! :eek: Bro tip - moisturiser is not a good idea when it's warm. Half of the people here are also all shiny, one guy is actually dripping, and the rest look grand.

So - do you sweat? Being Irish probably doesn't help..

Everybody sweats! That's like asking, do you fart?

Ah some people sweat a lot more than others though. I feel your pain OP, sometimes I'm on public transport or I'm in a late night bar and it is unbelievably warm and some people haven't broken a sweat, not a bit, bone dry and not a sweat stain to be seen. Then there's me, absolutely soaked with sweat and a big shiny face on top of me, it's not a good look

I'd say the OP means where are you on a scale between 'dry' and, well, this chap -

I perspire even in freezing cold weather, no idea why, but with three showers a day and deodorant, I manage to avoid any hum or unpleasant odours, or pools under my arms, that sort of thing

Hate sweating. The humidity we have here is the worst for it. And my hair is a big mane, absolutely detest that sweaty back of neck thing in the summer. GROSS!

Sure its raining too much to be sweating here.

Like a nun peeing on a pregnancy stick.

If you take the teabag that your ignorant colleague left in the canteen sink, wet it under the cold tap and put it under your armpit, you would feel like me right now.

Often have to wash my hands 6-7 times in the space of a few hours because they sweat, same with my feet.

Gets so bad I can't use my phone at times.

Strangly when playing football or in a hot country I wouldn't sweat an inordinate amount, but in Ireland, lying in bed sweat literally drips off my hands

Sweet soaked is a very good luck on an attractive woman.

Ridey as fvck.

I finally agreed to do a yoga class with my girlfriend, "how hard could", it be I thought?

I was like a small water feature in the room with the amount of sweat pumping out of me, and I was the only one sweating!

Reckon the owners will be checking the roof for leaks when they see the puddle I left behind in the studio....

Sweaty hands are the worst. Hate shaking I sweaty hand. I try to remind myself that I can wash my hand. It is the guy with the sweaty hands I feel sorry for, even after they wash their hand it is still a sweaty hand. My sympathies DS.

There's a condition called hyperhydrosis which I'm fairly sure I've got so if anyone calls me out on it I call at least excuse it. Try to wash my hands as often as possible before social situations.


I feel sorry for my girlfriend as my hand literally goes from dry to dripping ( ) in hers in a few minutes

Yuss - exactly!

The worst is during work. Running to get to somewhere. Laptop in bag on back. The laptop is already hot and it's like carrying a hot water bottle. And, work clothes - short shorts are not appropriate. Running + hot water bottle + heat + work clothes = spending ten minutes in the bathroom with the cold tap on and trying to cool down and not turn up to a meeting sweating like a paedo in a Barney costume.

I used to sweat buckets from my armpits, I'm talking about huge wet patches on my t shirts even soaking through to a sweatshirt.
Gave up smoking and my armpits have almost completely stopped perspiring, i mean I can feel slight moisture under there at times, but not nearly enough to show on my shirts.

Travelling to and from work in temps exceeding 30 and 60% humidity wreaks havoc on the light blue shirts.

fatknacker

Some of that 'glow' dribbles down my back and into the crack of my arse, in times of extreme humidity.

The worst things are doing your hair and all of a sudden it's frizzy then putting on make up in the heat, within minutes it's sweated off and you've a big red face. That's why a tan helps you look a bit better.

I've found that I sweat more the older I get. At this rate, by the age I'm 60, I'll be 90% sweat, 10% person.

My hair expands with the humidity, and I perspire a bit. I don't think I'm an awful Sweaty Betty, but I'm not a cool cucumber either.

I wear the hair up off my neck in the heat, it keeps the neck cool and the hair looking like it belongs to a human and not a midget Yeti. I carry deodorant wipes because I'm paranoid about BO, and a travel size stick deodorant to make sure I remain fragrant.

There's nothing worse than being stuck beside someone stinking of that acrid smell of stale, unwashed flesh.

Neck sweat. Bleugh. A great way to ruin hair that you've bothered drying straight. I just pin my hair up over here.

Agreed! Most of the sweaty people here still smell ok though. It's fresh sweat. :P Day old sweat is disgusting though.

I don't know how guys manage in suits. Anything other than a black or a white shirt is destroyed. Especially after lunch when everyone sits out - wet patches all over their backs.

I have the sweatiest crouch a man can get without having sex.
