Is it normal to only shower once a week.

Way to save water. You are a true humanitarian. A stinky one perhaps, but one, none the less.

Smelly :(

Why so often?

You must smell like shit.

It's not normal, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

I went 6 months without showering, but that was for health reasons

I only do it once every few months.

I bathe twice a month and I never smell because I regularly wash my armpits,privates and feet, only problem is that my skin gets darker and dirty. I feel like I'm allergic to water.

If you (and the people in your environment) are comfortable with it, then there is no problem with that. Saves a lot of water as well, as a positive side effect. ;)

Most of the people I knew that didn't shower lacked a decent love life or social life.

Take a navy shower. Save water. Do it more often.

How much do you sweat? Do you wash your armpits more regularly? If the answers are satisfactory, then I would say it's normal.

Even when you are on your period?

If you are only cleansing your body once a week, you are probably "wet and gross" to begin with.

That's just horrible. That's no excuse. My boyfriend's dad is terrified of water, but he still bathes. The only good excuse is if you're injured, crippled, horribly mentally deficient, or have no water

Although it can be hard t find time for a shower, taking showers regularly, every other day AT LEAST, will improve both your social life and your health. Because lets face it, greasy hair and body odor repels potential friends.
