People Who Don't Wear Deodorant or Seemingly Bathe Regularly, Why?
People Who Don't Wear Deodorant or Seemingly Bathe Regularly, Why?
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?
You're viewing a single thread.
It appears that a number of people in this comment section just downvote everyone that does not use deodorant for any reason. As a test: Deodorant never quite grew on me, I started hating the rather extreme and sometimes even pungent smell as a teenager. I shower (twice) daily to every third day depending on season, daily routine and other factors.
It's especially weird to me that they're so much harder on the ones who skip deodorant than the ones who skip showers. Aren't showers what actually takes the smelly shit away instead of masking it? I wouldn't be surprised if I found out these threads are created and/or maintained by deodorant marketing.
Pretty much my thinking. I'd rather have someone take care of personal hygiene than of their body odor. Save for a very few special cases where you really have to use deodorant, it is perfectly normal and acceptable to wash regularly and only deodorant sporadically when really necessary. I personally even prefer a person's "natural" (not implying that natural = good) smell to no smell at all. If you want to impress, use perfume.

It seems my test was successfull. Probably the same 4 people everytime.
I can almost smell you from here
Oh right now you definitely can, I am currently very sick and can barely get out of bed. Smelling non-sick is NOT a priority right now.
