If you shave your body hair you can probably get dry (other than your hair) with like 3 washcloths for most people. Isolating to the US its probably closer to 5 to handle the extra surface area. Maybe 6 if they’re out of shape enough to start sweating while they dry off.
You’re not wrong with the increased surface area, maybe even lowballing it lol
Some people are also just cursed. I had manager get mad at me once when i worked fast food for how many paper towels it took to actually dry my hands, my skin just clings to water like crazy

A tip for that: shake your fingers into the sink 12 times before drying. You should only need one paper towel this way.
An important addition to that, fold the paper towel in half, it absorbs additional water between the layers.
