Does anyone in your life gently pat themselves with a towel when they're sweating, like characters consistently do in the movies?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone do this IRL.

I’ve seen it, usually when its really hot, and always someone who is wearing make up to prevent smearing the makeup.

Guess that would make sense. They’re all wearing makeup in movies…

Has this person ever seen a sporting event? There are a million towels.

I think the question is about blotters rather than wipers.

As an especially persperous gentleman… Absolutely

If I try to use a gym without a towel I end up flicking sweat everywhere and nobody wants that

Gym and exercise. Stops salty sweat dripping in to my eyes.

Not as gently as I think you are talking about, but I definitely use a towel to dab my brow regularly in the summers. I live on Texas, and spend plenty of time outdoors working in a woodshop. I don’t like sweat dripping all over my workpieces.
