do you not smell body odor or do you just get used to it?

Genuinely curious. I have met a few people of different walks of life that I could tell did not and I have always used it, so I’m just curious. I know there was a couple that stopped using it for around a year, and they said their body actually end up not perspiring as much as when they used antiperspirant, but I’d like to know other people’s experiences.

I've never once noticed someone's body odor

You are truly fortunate xD

I work in a warehouse and omg the things I have smelled. The worst is when the person working in front of me has strong BO and a fan is blowing it into my face all day.

Can't be worse than someone with cologne sitting between you and a fan...

Really depends on the cologne / dosage

Lol I take pure cologne over stinky any day

colognes wear off, but stink only gets stronger and stronger...

The worst is the sickly sweet floral perfumes like my grandma, and sometimes my mom, would wear. Being trapped in a car with them, I think gave me PTSD bc I instantly go back to that feeling of suffocating nausea even to this day.

My partner will be like ooh try this (essential oil) and I'm like ugggghhh

Thankfully nobody really seems to wear those anymore. Even super pungent colognes don't hit me the same way, and we have some guys who must bath in that shit...

Your comments are making it sound like you smell bad and just cant tell

[-] ThatFembyWho 1 points 2 years ago

Oh is that why everyone flees when I enter a room?

lol I would actually like to know how I smell to others. Gross, exotic... enticing? Assuming freshly showered and let's say no scented soaps or anything. Just normal scent.

My partner says not at all. The only thing that really bothers me is underarm odor, being transfem I feel like mine is a bit too masc, I need to reappy deoderant halfway through my shift at work.

Also would like to know how my voice sounds to others...
