Is it true that Europeans are against showers/baths?

Oh no, please,
People are the same all over the west,
We sleep in beds, eat cooked food, work for a living, go out with friends to sporting events or dinner or the cinema or bars, vote in fair elections
and Yes We Wash Daily Too.
Do you not think that's a bit of a rude question?

Lol, not at all, I shower every day

bla bla

Yes I'm European
Yes I have a bath.... and a shower!
Yes I (and my family) use either/or and even both daily

The moral of the story is don't beleive all the stereotypes you read. Often stereotypes are either myths or incorrect classifications by those who can't understand that people are individual

P.S. for the benefit of the "deodrant" comment below, here's the link to one store (just one) and it's online shopping section (and it only delivers the most popular brands and not the total selection) and there are 92 different deo's. That's a lot of choice if people here don't use them! http://webwinkel.ah.nl/process?fh_location=%2F%2Fecommerce%2Fnl_NL%2Fcategories%3C%7Becommerce_shoc1%7D%2Fit_show_product_code_1398%3E%7B10%3B20%7D%2Fpr_startdate%3C20090404%2Fpr_enddate%3E20090404%2Fpr_ltc_allowed%3E%7Bbowi%7D%2Fcategories%3C%7Becommerce_shoc1_1al%7D%2Fcategories%3C%7Becommerce_shoc1_1al_1ahal%7D%2Fcategories%3C%7Becommerce_shoc1_1al_1ahal_1ahalal117%7D%2Fcategories%3C%7Becommerce_shoc1_1al_1ahal_1ahalal117_1ahalal392%7D%2Fcategories%3C%7Becommerce_shoc1_1al_1ahal_1ahalal117_1ahalal392_1ahalal411%7D&&fh_reffacet=categories&fh_refpath=facet_85502244&fh_refview=lister&action=albert_noscript.modules.build

Is it true that all Americans are loud, obnoxious and obese jerks?

lilybelle

No. Is it true all Americans are fat inbred retards?

Lol of course not. Perhaps you are thinking that they are environmentally friendly as baths and showers use up a lot of water.

Not at all.
I think the old sterotype came from people that were forced to go to public showers because they lived in very old flats that didn't have bath tubs or showers in them.
They like to be fresh just like anyone else does.
Nowadays most flats have been remodeled and have either bathtubs or showers in them.

Kacey

Nope.

i dunno dude, its best you dont use the E word around here. just do as i do and my fellow american brothers do and ignore other parts of the world

It's easy to stereotype but no, it's not true. I will say however, that I have been a few places in the EU where deodorant doesn't seem to be very popular but even in those locales, people still bathe regularly.

No they do tend to be more frugal with their water though, out of necessity. We in North America have taken water for granted for so long don't even consider it wasting while in reality may have to start cutting back in some regions. Those daily 30 min hot showers with the full flow shower head may have to be re-thought.

avo_still_single

yes it iz true- my friend smells like cheese left out in the sun for about a week. =)

i dont think so they just tend to do things less
eg bathe 1ce a day when for some twice is the minimum, go to church 1ce a years
there pretty stiff to do anything more than 1ce to them is some sort of fanaticism
we had some european students on exchange and they thought we were abnormal going to church every sunday
