I think North Americans tend to be a bit .... ummmm ... fussy (?), finicky (?), or something about wearing the same clothes more than a day or two in a row.>
Are you dating at the moment?
What does
that have to do with anything?
If your question is whether or not anyone will come near me, I have done all my tours with cycling partners who have worn their shorts as long as I have (or longer!). It's fine!! And as for people in grocery stores etc ... well, we get to the front of the line and out the door really quick. Works very well.
But even when I'm at home, I don't wash my shorts after every ride. There's no point in that. I do wash them after long rides (centuries, brevets, etc.), but not after my "after work" type of rides. I just hang them where they can dry and air out a bit, and they are good to go again the next day.
