years that I\u2019ve been going to gyms, this is something that I can\u2019t say that I\u2019ve really paid attention to until more recently.\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019s because my current gym is very small and has a very small sample size to analyze, but it\u2019s through this observational process do patterns begin to emerge, and lead to me being able to spout off bullshit brog posts like this one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But as the title of this post reads, I have observed a disturbing trend that has occurred enough for me to widely brush stroke the statement that white people don\u2019t shower after working out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Once or twice, sure, maybe we\u2019re short on time, maybe something has come up.\u00a0 A meeting you\u2019re cutting too close to, or the workout had been underestimated and time is no longer on our side.\u00a0 But I\u2019m witnessing the same people with regularity, who work out, and vanish into the locker room only to emerge just minutes later, with not nearly enough time to make believable that any sort of bathing had occurred.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Look, I\u2019m not a complete psycho who\u2019s following every white guy into the locker room after their workout, but I know from my own experience with expedient showers, that even when trying to be quick and timely as possible, I still need like 10-15 minutes in the locker room to shower, dress, groom before I\u2019m ready to go back to the office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">These Ben Afflecks are in and out of the locker room in under 5-7 minutes in most cases, and the laws of physics are saying that these motherfuckers ain\u2019t showering, full stop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And it\u2019s always white guys.\u00a0 Much like myself, all the black men who also work out at my gym, they always shower after working out.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t matter if they\u2019re doing weights, or spending any amount of time on a cardio machine, if they exercise, they\u2019re showering.\u00a0 It\u2019s only the white guys where it\u2019s more of a surprise to see one actually taking time to bathe and clean themselves after a workout than not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The thing is too, a lot of these guys I\u2019m witnessing on a regular basis who don\u2019t shower, it\u2019s not like they\u2019re doing some wimpy pussy workouts where they don\u2019t build up a sweat or put themselves into situations where they should probably consider cleaning themselves up for the courtesy of the people they\u2019ll spend the next half of the working day in close proximity to.\u00a0 Lots of these guys are doing cardio and building up a considerable amount of sweat and perspiration, the chief ingredient when it comes to generating BO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And then they finish their workouts, get back into their white guy uniforms and hop on the elevator to get straight back to the office.\u00a0 This kind of lack of regard for the olfactory comfort of others is equal parts selfish, arrogant, disgusting and just plain dickish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">My brain can\u2019t wrap itself around the idea of not showering after a workout.\u00a0 The shower is practically the best part of the workout, the reward for taxing the body and now we can cleanse ourselves of all the sweat and strain of exercise.\u00a0 I love the feeling of being clean, and especially in the workplace where feelings of positivity and physical pleasure are often being worked against, why would I deny myself something that I could realistically indulge in?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">White people, man.\u00a0 I just don\u2019t understand these motherfuckers sometimes.\u00a0 For as much as they think they own the entire planet, they sure conduct themselves in some truly mind-boggling, third-world manners.\u00a0 I feel very fortunate that of all the white guys that I\u2019ve seen not showering after sweaty workouts, that I don\u2019t have to conduct any business with them; I just know that if I saw them in the actual office, I would just know that they probably reeked of varying degrees of BO, and I wouldn\u2019t be able to hide the displeasure on my face, and nobody wins when unpleasant interactions occur.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In all my years that I\u2019ve been going to
