Girls: would you date someone with hyperhidrosis?

Ok, hyperhidrosis sufferers got it bad. Take me for example. I sweat, a lot, from my face, hands, feet, all over my body, for no reason at all. We'd be kissing and I'd be sweating for no reason. Sweaty sex. However, I'm not showing off (nothing to show off when you got this depressing condition) but I look good and have a nice body. I'm also a very nice and sweet person if you get to know me. Would you date me?

PLEASE BE TOTALLY HONEST

it's obviously a big issue to me as to if girls would date a guy with this annoying condition, and I want to get some input. Thank for all the replies. I'm sure the whole hh male community would like to see you girl's replies.

Never considered to live in a very cold place? I'm not joking, it is the first thing I thought. You think you'd be sweating also with -30 c? :)
Being totally honest with you, that would be quite a big pain in the ass.

to be quite honest, i don't know... i mean, we all have our perks and we all have our own drawbacks, ya know? i'd say it would depend on how the guy dealt with it.. i mean, i wouldn't want him always bitching about his condition (though i do understand the extreme pain in the ass it must be), but you know what i mean? it'd probably be easier for me to look over it if he were looking over it, too... like how a girl who constantly complains about how ugly her nose is is only drawing attention to her nose? haha... okay, i'm being confusing!

some women find sweating men attractive pharamones or something like that


i dont think it would be an issue if you stop worrying about it and as poster above said just try not to make it a big deal

lol

srsly?

It's not as easy as let's just move to a really cold place? You'll have to live in a warm house and cuddle up with a woman at some point.

does the sweat from hh also release pheromones? At least something good out of it. And plz keep posting i'm seeing a pattern that we shouldn't bitch about it just be cool about our sweating, weird to say that. Maybe just make it clear that it's genetic at first and just never mention it again?

aw i didn't say you were bitching! that sounded mean, sorry! but kind of.. i don't know, i'm just saying confidence through your insecurity would be better (sexier, haha) than acting very self consious about it, ya know? i mean, i can tell that complaining about my insecurities to a guy makes things more awkward, haha..

no i get you and i like your reply as long as it's honest yes

i mean you wouldn't find it disgusting to kiss a sweaty guy or sleep with him you just said he should deal with it and not whine about it... that actually gives me a boost from this condition down.

No, definitely I wasnt serious with that cold place thing.
Yet, I found in here a very clever point:
to be quite honest, i don't know... i mean, we all have our perks and we all have our own drawbacks, ya know? i'd say it would depend on how the guy dealt with it.. i mean, i wouldn't want him always bitching about his condition (though i do understand the extreme pain in the ass it must be), but you know what i mean? it'd probably be easier for me to look over it if he were looking over it, too... like how a girl who constantly complains about how ugly her nose is is only drawing attention to her nose? haha... okay, i'm being confusing!
You see? she's not saying you're bitching, but she says a big truth about a lot of women, or she implies: they want a man which is self-confident, or if not as that at least... careless? about phisical flaws firsty.
And, another truth, of more general value: it is not important a thing itself, but how do you deal with it. It is true in our mind and in our perception of ourselves, and it is true also in the image of us that we give to other ppl.
Made me think...

Well I wouldn't date you or anyone since I"m married :D but if I were single, heck yes. If he was nice, funny, caring, understanding...all the qualities I looked for in a man. It's something I'd get used to and probably wouldn't be bothered that much by it.

Hey i think that as long as you didn't smell bad i would defiantly.
And im sure there's nothing wrong with sweaty sex.

haha you girls are lovely

ya it doesn't smell it's like excess water coming out (at least for me)

the confidence thing is the main issue what i noticed here

i think you have to let it out that it's genetic/inherited so girls won't think you're unconfident

if they see you sweating they'll think you're anxious when it's not the real reason yeah? I think I should devise a way to let it known that I have a condition and not anxiety or lack of confidence, though that's hard to do

and thanks for being totally honest, turns out you all had nice things to say. still, keep posting and if u have anything bad to say just say it. but i think the majority say they don't mind if they really like the person behind the sweating and if he doesn't let it bother him and whine about it

To Rexus, it's never been an issue for girls I've been out with. Reactions ranged from, being ok with it to not even noticing until I pointed it out. I guess it is more of an issue for me than it is to the people I'm around. I only really get it on my hands and feet though so it may be different for you I'm not sure.
And to the person who said just move somewhere cold, my hands can still sweat even when I'm building a snowman - as I did during this particularly harsh winter ::p: For me at least my HH has never been temperature dependent

If you meet someone who truly cares about you, nothing really matters, even if you couldn't talk or walk. There's always a way around things if both are committed to make it work.

There's a lot of shallow people out there, don't let them get you down. Remember that there's also people who care what's inside more.

Good luck meeting that special someone :)

in the end, i do agree with what pretty much everyone is saying.. that wouldn't be something that would be a 'deal breaker' for me if i really did love the guy.. to be honest, i feel like when i fall in true love with someone, nothing will be a 'deal breaker' because i'm obviously in love for a reason (and i'm not going to love someone with general bad qualities anyway, ya know?)

and i think you're on to something.. everyone has a right to discuss things they feel insecure about, i'm not saying you have to completely ignore anything, or that "bitching" or something is bad.. but like you said, maybe just establish that those are the cards you were dealt and if anyone has a problem with it, well there's nothing that you can do about it... i'm sure it's definitely difficult for you to remain confident and all, but when someone truly accepts you for you, then i don't think you'll have a problem :)

uber ya i think a lot of what bothers us is also in our mind. we just want the sweating to go and we keep thinking about it. we should just live and forget. i mean a lot out there would probably prefer having our condition than what they got. let's say what would u prefer being born a midget (no offence to anyone i swear) or having hh? I'm sure most would say have hh, i mean it's annoying and bothersome, but it shouldn't stop us.

GIRLS really thank you all for your great opinions, you're really lovely, and I think you speak for most girls out there with your opinions.

Thanks katie you really helped out <3
