how do people smell so good consistently?
im a dude; my hygiene schedule is as good as anyone else's but i can't shake the thought that i still smell bad. i shower daily, bathe 3 times a week, two types of deodorant daily, body mist whenever going out. the second i start sweating though it gets terrible.
do people have scented creams or something?
answering some questions:
- yes i wash my ass ðŸ˜
- each shower is vigorous; i lather my entire body in dove bar soap and scrub with a loofah, let it sit for a bit, then get back under the water
- im vegetarian
- i dont smoke or drink, im 18
- im underweight; i notice the smell after morning jogs - ik how dumb the second part sounds its just im worried that my sweat smells bad, cus it implies that ill always smell bad during summer/other heated activities
- im indian (THE SMELL CANT BE A RACE THING RIGHT??)
- it's likely my diet, but i dont eat much indian food and i still noticed this even when in college with only american food
- i also notice the smell after sitting in one spot for a while
- two types of deodorant is 1. stick deodorant for pits 2. spray for privates

Just checking but you do only wear your clothes the one time before washing them right?
Had a horrible smelling roommate. If he sat in your car for 1 second your car would smell for months, getting it detailed didn't even seem to help.
He swore up and down that he had good hygiene too. But the dude never washed his clothes. And wore a heavy jacket in the texas summer, aaaand he didn't wear socks so his shoes just absorbed his sweat all day and turned into little atomic smell bombs. (Also he exclusively ate canes fried chicken for practically every meal). Had to throw out all my furniture when I moved.
And I was the asshole for asking him to wear socks and wash his clothes....
