Sweat in the seat: anyone else have this problem? - Page 2

I was going to ask the OP if he is unusually stressed in this class, b/c I have noticed that I will definitely sweat more if I am in a tense situation... even if I am not noticeably nervous.
That might be a factor. I've taken all of my classes online so far, and this is one of the first classes I've taken in the classroom in about two years. Plus math isn't my best subject. So I am stressed some of the time (usually on the way there; once I get in there and know what's going on I relax). I know this is irrational, but oh well.

This really only happens at work though, which leads me to believe it is related to stress. Not nervousness, per se, but the "in the zone" feeling that I get at work sometimes. Hard to explain.
I think I know what you mean.

When we left, my hair was wet in the front. Everyone was commenting on the heat though, we thought it might have been some kind of test.
Hahaha, that's great. Here is something I recently tried that seems to help a little. When I know I'm going to get stressed out or something later in the day and I need to get a shower before I leave the house, I get out of the shower and put on a pair of temporary pants before I have to leave the house. Then I just switch right before I leave. It doesn't prevent me from sweating later, but it at least keeps my pants dry from the initial after-shower sweating. Reminds me of the Maestro's tip on Seinfeld.

Oh yea and your clothes are most likely cotton or a blend with it. Cotton keeps water when it gets wet and stays swampy. This is why active wear for sports is almost never cotton.

I'm 50/50 with you guys on this. I'm slim, but like hot showers. However, I need the room to be cool or I sweat, but because of my lack of body fat, I get cold very easily after a certain point.

Also, this threak needs a DT parody.

Happens to me all the time and I feel like I'm the only one. The trick that I figured our is to tuck in an undershirt right into the undies to cover the butt, also slide of the chair instead of standing up, so that way you'll wipe off most of the sweat. People usually say that "fat people sweat like pigs" but I'm the skinniest guy next to anyone and I sweat at the slightest temperature changes.

Pigs don't have sweat glands, which is why they lay in mud or water to cool off.

I sweat like a whore in church...its sucks...I deal with it. Maybe try showering at night, but then if you sweat like me, you'll stink from sleeping in sweat. My wife says the same thing...like sleeping next to a furnace...oh well.
