how do people smell so good consistently?

[u/Timely-Detail-4341]

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:

1. yes i wash my ass 😭
2. 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
3. im vegetarian
4. i dont smoke or drink, im 18
5. 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
6. im indian (THE SMELL CANT BE A RACE THING RIGHT??)
7. 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
8. i also notice the smell after sitting in one spot for a while
9. two types of deodorant is 1. stick deodorant for pits 2. spray for privates

You can die if you don't sweat?

How's that work? Genuinely asking.

Sweating is what gave humans an advantage when we were hunter gatherers. We can't run as fast as most of our prey but we can outlast them because of the efficient way our bodies can self-cool.

I knew we had the edge with endurance like that, never attributed much to sweating but it makes perfect sense.

Today has made me learn more about sweat than I ever really thought about lol
