Like, I travel around for work and I’ve met plenty of people from all backgrounds.
Why is there a demographic of people who don’t seemingly bathe regularly, or at the very least wear something to cover up their BO? I could understand if it’s an allergy, or even religious reasons (though the people I’ve met that smell bad are usually you’re average American young adult man) but recently (like in the past week, recently) I’ve met a concerning number of people who don’t seem to wear any kind of deodorant or possibly don’t even bathe regularly; it’s starting to become an issue for me, as I don’t even want to interact with them when I can smell them walking up from 3+ feet away yet I need to for work.
Does anyone have any possible insight?
I shower once a day. I don’t generally wear deodorant. I get away with it I think because body odor is largely impacted by meat intake. I swear I don’t smell bad, I’ve asked others. This is the Internet and so no one will believe me unless OP comes to my house and smells my arm pit.
Diet plays a role, but I’ve found it’s far more down to the spices one consumes. I’d bet the strongest component is hormones and genetics.
Meat intake? I’m a vegetarian and if I don’t use deodorant, my pits stink within hours.
No idea. Personally I never had much of an issue with it.
I rarely ever eat meat (and almost never red meat) and my BO still smells if I don’t shower or use deodorant daily
Apparently it could also have to do with the microbiome on the skin too, there are a couple companies developing probiotic deodorant based on the flora of people who naturally don’t smell very bad. It’s a balance of good bacteria versus stinky bacteria and I can see how things like antibiotic use and diet can have an impact on that balance just like it does in the gut, but a decent portion of it does seem to be genetic.
That’s pretty cool. I didn’t know that was a thing.
I’ll smell you. I’ll smell you so good.
