The same amount of water? Wow, either your showers last for centuries or you bathe in a puddle.

Whichever, it's fine either way. Personally, I always go for showers because it leaves me more time to get on IIN and talk about the quickness of showering and that leaves me more time to get on IIN and talk about the quickness of showering and that leaves me more time to... you get the picture.

A standard tub is about 54" long by 24" wide by 8" deep to the bottom of the overflow. Ignoring the curved corners, that's about 10,368 cubic inches or 44.9 gallons. Take into account that the outside corners are rounded on a 6" radius you get 10,121 cubic inches or 43.8 gallons (more or less).

Now a standard low-flow shower head is 2.5 gallons per minute. So you would need to take a 17.5 minute shower (at full blast) to equal filling the tub. Taking into account water temperature (you need a higher temperature of water for the same feeling of warmth given conductive cooling with the tub material) you'll also need to use more hot water for a bath than a shower.

Baths are much more wasteful.

And you're very odd.

This was a dumb post

Baths in my opinion, are nasty. Your sitting there soaking I'm a pool of your own filth. But that's just me. At least you actually bathe unlike some of the people on here that prefer a sink and towel...nasty

I take half baths sometimes because I don't have a hot tub. I'll get the water hot and relax for 10 minutes then shower. I only do this sometimes though

How does taking a bath equate to being gay or being perceived as gay?

You people are so funny at times, it's unbelievable... Goodness knows, perhaps breathing in a certain way will indicate being gay in times to come!

Perspective needs to be gotten, come on people!!! XD

baths are a secret among straight men in the USA. never admit to a bath or your girlfriend will leave you!

in the winter

Oh yeah! Women do it so why can't men?
