I take about 10 minutes in the shower and then I come out and put all my hair care stuff in so I'm not actually out of the bathroom until it's been 20 minutes.
 
40-45 minutes. Put on the stereo, sit down on the built in shower seat and relax.

Now when I still lived in town and had to worry about the water bill I'd keep it down to about 15-20 minutes.
 
I take my time in the shower because that's my best "lost in thought" time. I do my best systems engineering designwork when there is nothing but a tile wall to look at, no computers, no TV, no phones, no people, just me and whatever programming problem I've been working on.

I dreamed up one of our company's most successful products while in the shower. So if the water bill's a little higher because I let my brain lounge in the steam a long time, so be it.

I used to, but then we started having lots of meetings at work. I find that those work better for that purpose.
 
Depends on the time of day... in the mornings I'll take a shower 15-20 minutes with a shave. If it's at night, a shower will run 25-30 minutes just so I can relax.

I wish I could take more showers at night, I always goto sleep feeling disgusting and cheated otherwise.

I was half expecting you to show up with a comment.

Hey, some of us are high-maintenance.

yup! and that's just the shower, takes about another 30 minutes just to emerge from the bathroom.
 
Usually 15. Sometimes more if I'm washing my hair extra well in preparation to dye it again, less if I need to leave 10 minutes ago.

Also, it can be more depending on my mood. If I'm angry, I can stay in the shower for 45 minutes. If I'm excited about going somewhere, I can be in and out in 3. :D

My hair is a different story... if I blowdry it, I can't straighten it. I don't know why, just doesn't.. work that way! So, if I want to straighten it, I have to let it air-dry. If I need to, I'll blowdry it and put it up. but I cannot blowdry and straighten.

My hair isn't curly, I just tend to look like a squirrel's tail when I wake up.

Who all #1's in the shower?

I have some type of mental block and can't but I know of people who do. (Never actually seen it though)
The first person to admit to this shall be nicknamed George for all eternity.
(I loves me the Seinfeld)

Personally, I can't do it. I just can't!

Call me George then :p

As a guy, it's easy, and most guys I know do this as well (whether or not they admit it is a different story).

Infact, I remember seeing a poll, which included women, showing the most who answered created their own "showers in the shower." :)
 
About 10 minutes to shower, add 5 minutes afterwards to brush teeth and shave.

I can happily shower with my girlfriend, but I feel awkward if I'm showering and she walks in, or if I walk in on her. Mine once walked in on me peeing (NOT in the shower, you sickos) and tried to hold a conversation with me, WHAT THE F*£&, WOMAN?! I'm peeing!

i used to, and then i just started realizing that i could hold it. haha. not to mention, when you're sharing a shower with other people... (not necessarily at the same time. ;))

Nope... don't shower in the shower. Yuk! :eek: I see dirty washing water as 'cleaner' than sewage...

And I used to walk in on my boyfriend peeing and expect him to hold a conversation... but he'd do the same with me so I guess we were quits. Then again, our whole family are the same. With 3 women in the house and no guys, the bathroom door was rarely closed so we'd all chat in the bathroom/toilet when getting ready.

It takes me an hour and a half before I'm ready to leave the house and head off to work every weekday. :eek:

I never get between a woman and her "getting ready" time. Besides the results end up benefiting the guy anyway. And impatience in this matter doesn't get me out the door any faster. :D

Personally, I don't know any men in any stage of relationship that don't appreicate a soft-skinned, well-dressed, great smelling woman around them. :D --Yeah that goes for the gay dudes too. --
