I would undersand if these people stayed in their houses all day long , or lived in another country where everything smelled the same way. But the people mentioned here seem to be out in public a lot. I could maybe understand children smelling and not knowing, but adults? Maybe its a religious thing.
That just makes it worse. BO plus cheap cologne is not good. I don't even own a bottle of cologne. If you just bath every morning, you really shouldn't have a problem. I just don't get it.
I own two botles of Cologne, but I only use them when I go out on the weekends etc. No need for everyday use. Showers will cure everything, and then deoderant to top it off.
She's not ugly, but I wouldn't go as far as attractive. I just remembered I have her for sociology too and nobody sits next to her in that class. I wish I didn't have to sit next to her but it's hard as funk to get a good seat in my class unless you get there a zillion hours early.
No, I wouldn't call her attractive. And the smell makes me want to look over in the other direction. Her replacement sure was awesome though....
YESSS! Great idea! Now, all you have to do is find said smelly but good-looking woman and send her my way, Mrs. JB!
Ok I feel the need to defend smelly chicks. Especially in Texas its hot as a mofo outside, and when you only have 10 minutes to get a zillion miles across campus, you haul buns... So you start sweating, and by the time you finally get to class, you are completely sweaty and out of breath. I always feel bad on the days I have to go all the way across campus because of this very reason, and I'm not fat or out of shape or anything, its just this darn texas heat! Then there's always lacrosse practice... 2 hours in the heat, with all sorts of padding and gear on.... I KNOW I reek after practice - and the first thing I do when I get home is shower. but ultimately yes, I understand the problem. That's when you just learn to breathe through your mouth or take a long bathroom break or get a drink of water out in the hall or something.
Smelling like sweat is one thing, ...but no_answer said a girl smelled like pus....now that is damn right nasty......
as a student of women in general, or at least one for the last 10 years on a serious level i have to say I have not come across this to my recolection. I have come across the slightly earthy hippy chicks. but they even though not fresh clean have a sweet petulie undertone that makes what might otherwise be offensive, not offensive. and almost a sweet smell. the stripper smell makes me a bit nervous about a girl though. I mean why wear so much body spray unless you are a stripper? the only memorable bad smell issue I ever came across was a female personal hygene issue that does not need any deep detail for these boards, but the storry in general is kinda funny. It was summer and i was talking to my best friends GF. she was skiing me why i was not attached, I have typical answer of being too picky. she said that there are plenty of beutifull women in the bar, why dont I talk to them... well I had no real answer, but am a bit shy, so to challange myself,I made her challange me to talk to the one she thought was the prettiest in the whole bar. she chose and I was off. bolstered by alcohol I chatted it up and well even made out in a later bar that night. we at a 3rd bar ended up making out down on the beach and let me tell you that is when it happened. I was terrified. she was so pretty, had a beutifull Irish accent, but ruined my hand for life. I casually withdrew from the embrace. my friends called me from the car(saved from an embarassing moment by the friends) so I washed my hands in the water, and sand and water. kissed her on the cheek, and ran up to the car. as soon as i got in they all let out a howl the smell was so loud. even the girls in the car were giving me crap. I have my best friends GF crap for a long time after that. never before never again.
But seriously, I've run into more and more people (here in SF) that really stink -- a lot of young people. Especially young hipsters with mandatory floppy hair, mandatory thick-framed glasses, and mandatory trucker-style caps. I think is simply hip to stink! I was wondering how in the world I could become less hip than I already am (with my non-polo shirts and pocket-protectors), but now I know. I can just keep wearing deoderant.
Just make sure she gets in first... then wait a few minutes... that ought to knock the first few layers of demon funk off.
Okay. Let's see. How often do you take a bath? I bath ONCE everyday. My girlfriend baths TWICE everyday. How about you?
