    Facts. I take between 2 and 4 showers a day (most are just to wash the dried sweat off, no soap necessary unless I reek).

    I’m originally from South Jersey where it gets humid as fuck for about two months out of the year with the occasional reprieve, so I’m used to it being hot as fuck. Before I moved down here, my friend and I spent 2 weeks down here in South Florida in August to see if I could stand it at its worst. I lasted a day wearing my typical summer clothes (khaki shorts and a cotton T-shirt, I’m a dude). The rest of the time was spent freeballing in basketball shorts and three tank tops that I bought and was still drenched every day.

    I’ve been down here since October and freeballing in basketball shorts (or linen shorts) and wearing mesh or linen shirts are the only things I wear outside between May and October. Two days ago I went outside for a 10 minute walk and was drenched within a few minutes. Yesterday I went out for a long walk and before I went out I soaked a mesh T-shirt in cold water to see if it would help keep me cool. It didn’t.
