Please do!

We'll probably be trying to meet at approximately the green arrow here, but if you can't find us, give a call and we can be more precise.

Hello, long time lurker here. Is this happening? Mind if I show up?
Where do you meet actually, in the tube station?

Showering daily seems to be unhealthy; decreasing shower frequency would save time, and it might be easy to control body odor with antiperspirants. Here's an NYT article.

Relatedly, there exist forms of clothing that stay wrinkle- and odor-free for 100 days of wearing without washing, though at the moment a shirt costs $100.

I wouldn't do that. Whatever health benefits you get from not showering have to be weighted against the health problems caused by you banging your head against the wall after that nice girl/guy actually talks to you and you don't even remember what you said because you can see they know that's not wax on your hair.

No, pointing out the health benefits of not showering won't help. Don't mention damp cloths http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSJQEl5vcAo

No, thinking that you are not playing the seduction game for whatever reason is not a valid excuse, it's just not playing to win by handicapping yourself. That's not very rational :|

Here's some actual advice related to personal hygiene and appearance in general:

  • Shower every day
  • Use deodorant everyday after showering (or, you know, just manage to not stink by whatever means necessary)
  • Always dress in a way that wouldn't disqualify you in a job interview or a date. You know that ridiculous shirt you wear when everything else is dirty? Throw it out right now and buy another one of the shirts that make you feel confident.
