I'm very sweaty m24

I'm a decently fit man who goes to the gym 4 days a week and does cardio every day and i eat decent . My big problem is that I'm really sweaty all the time. I'm not even hot or out of breath. It's incredibly difficult in my daily life. My hands are always wet. This makes it especially difficult In job interviews where its customary to shake hands. It especially bad at night where most knights I don't sleep with sheets I just lay towels down because I know it's just going to get wet anyway.

The main reason I bring this up is that I'm going on my first date soon and I'm told that people hold hands on one. Due to this fact I don't want to embarrass myself and put her off if I hold her hand and it's gross. How can I politely tell her I think she'd find it gross to touch me?

First - talk to a GP. It's called hyperhidrosis and it can be treated.
Second - take a shower before the date and use antiperspirant instead of deodorants. For the palms you can try powder antiperspirants, they may help a bit for such occasions.
Do not mention it on the date, it's not a deal breaker but health issues isn't the most attractive topic to discuss on a first date. Before holding hands, try to inconspicuously swipe the sweat off your palms (I just gently rub them on my jeans which looks normal, or inside my pockets if I'm outside).
Mental note - the more anxious and nervous you are the more sweaty you'll become, naturally. Try to reduce stress by whatever means that worked for you (for me it's having a very engaged conversation about a topic we both enjoy, say a hobby or whatever, so you forget about the sweaty issues). Basically try to forget you have that "problem". Yeah I know it sounds like the "Don't Think Of A Pink Elephant" kind of thing, but basically try to distract yourself from such thoughts.

I wish you all the best :smile:

Hi, I am likewise decently fit male, and I will def be older than you,lol. I have had that same problem for a long time, not so much my hands, but sweating simply at the thought of hot weather, face sweating ,under arms etc. Yes believe me I know exactly what you are "putting up with" . I have found that as I got older it got slightly better, not perfect and on occasion I find weather so hot, if I do anything energetic I sweat easily. A lot of ppl suffer that was I am sure.

Let me say what I would suggest for you. Find a good hypnotherapist and get her/he to implant in your mind more confidence (in case it is nervousness causing it, even without you knowing that is causing it can be that) If you are down South then can point you to good therapists then dm me and will give you their info. Seriously though, do not do what I did and "work around" it, meet the problem head on and deal with it, i.e. first try the hypnotherapy and see if works. If not, which I doubt would not work, then see doctor if any way to lessen the sweating.
For £60 you can get 1 hour session and may work with 1 session, or maybe 2 at £120 . It is well worth that to not
have that problem following you, do it now ,head on !!
