Some don’t sweat. Some sweat more than others. And some accumulate more sweat than the devil’s ass crack in a sauna. Sweating is a normal bodily function, but there is a clear difference between the natural and unnatural, and it’s showing on your shirt. Yes, it can be embarrassing, but you are not alone. There is a whole community of women who constantly shimmer. Here are some signs that you are a sweaty Betty:
- Gray is not in your wardrobe.
- Neither is maroon, green, blue, or any color except for black.
- Padded bras are just sponges for the underboob.
- Wiping your upper lip sweat takes your foundation off along with it.
- And for the rest of the day you’re forced to rock a reverse mustache.
- Waterproof mascara stops you from looking like a racoon.
- You have to take breaks while blow drying your hair.
- Straightening your hair? It curls right back up when your neck gets too hot.
- And straightening your hair in the summer? Forget about it.
- Your glasses fog up or slide off of your face.
- Leather seats are torturous.
- Especially when you stand up and rip the flesh off of the back of your thighs.
- When you ask you friend what they are wearing, you subtract one layer for yourself.
- All of your Instagrams are taken at the pregame.
- Because by the time you get to the bar, you look like you have melted.
- Your “beer jacket” is more like a “beer parka.”
- Winter is your favorite season.
- But you end up sweating as soon as you step inside with your jacket on.
- Working out makes you sweat in places you didn’t even know you could sweat.
- Like behind your knees.
- Or your calves.
- Or between your toes.
- Or your collarbones.
- Or your eyelids.
- You schedule classes close to your apartment to minimize pit stains.
- When you go to class, you wear gym clothes so everyone assumes you just went to the gym.
- You carry extra deodorant wherever you go.
- And when you don’t have any, you don’t mind sharing.
- Desperate times call for desperate measures.
- Deodorant isn’t just for armpits.
- It can be used in between your thighs to prevent chub rub.
- Or on your elbows as you keep them bent when you are running.
- Dry shampoo is no match for your sweaty scalp.
- So showering every day is a necessity, not a luxury.
- You’re not kidding when you say you are sweating your tits off.
- There is a sweat ravine in your cleavage and your bra is the only thing stopping your boobs from sliding off.
- You are the first to notice when the A/C is not working.
- “Whoa, do you have a fever?”
- No it’s just about 68 degrees in this room.
- You have to wear the half socks with your Sperrys.
- Otherwise they would slide off as you walk.
- You never eat spicy foods.
- The heat from the inside shows on the outside.
- You can’t watch Netflix with your laptop sitting on your lap.
- It’s not hot in here, it’s just you.
Don’t feel bad — moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty..
