I've had people question me for a lot of things while boymoding but smell is an interesting one
@MariaShima @Battymaddie huh, yeah that… I could see that leading to either a very interesting conversation (hopefully in a good way), or a very awkward attempt to extricate oneself from it.
I love this one! its so cute!
Can someone please explain what it means to "smell like a girl"? I just really don't understand what that would mean exactly...
First of all: I don't know.
But here's my two hypothesis:
Interesting. I guess that would make sense, using soaps and perfumes meant for girls would make you smell in a way people might think is girly. Although I have used many "girly" products for years and no one ever said I smell like a girl so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
maybe people "feared" telling you even if they noticed because they were afraid of making you uncomfortable!
or maybe they thought that anyone is allowed to smell nice not only girl and those are the best vibes.
It's really really funny when one of my best friends (who is a girl) tells me "you smell like my ex girlfriend...and I like it" lol
Hormones affect the scent of your body odor. It's hard to put into words what the difference is other than testosterone makes you smell like a guy and estrogen makes you smell like a girl. I suppose testosterone scent is... more pungent? This is with proper hygiene btw.
It was actually my biggest source of dysphoria when I fell off my hrt for a bit. When you stop smelling a certain way for over a year you lose any noseblindness you had. I could smell myself constantly and I hated it. Hair products and stuff can shift the scent but it doesn't really hide it completely, unless it's some really strong stuff, in my experience.
Side note, I'm reasonably sure this is why my cat at the time suddenly became more affectionate, he didn't really like men so when I stopped smelling like one he stopped perceiving me that way. This was well before any visible changes occurred.

You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways.

We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally cool—just say so.
