People Who Don't Wear Deodorant or Seemingly Bathe Regularly, Why?
People Who Don't Wear Deodorant or Seemingly Bathe Regularly, Why?
Like, I travel around for work and I've met plenty of people from all backgrounds.
Why is there a demographic of people who don't seemingly bathe regularly, or at the very least wear something to cover up their BO? I could understand if it's an allergy, or even religious reasons (though the people I've met that smell bad are usually you're average American young adult man) but recently (like in the past week, recently) I've met a concerning number of people who don't seem to wear any kind of deodorant or possibly don't even bathe regularly; it's starting to become an issue for me, as I don't even want to interact with them when I can smell them walking up from 3+ feet away yet I need to for work.
Does anyone have any possible insight?

I shower when I feel like I need to. Usually every 2-3 days, unless I've been sweating or working in a dirty environment. Wife says I never stink and she has the nose of a god damned bloodhound. Guess it depends on body chemistry and the PH balance of the skin. I use gentle soaps. I do wear antiperspirant everyday though. So I dunno. But I did find this:

Thank you. I am a 2-3 day showerer as well. I do wash my face every day, wash my hands regularly of course, and wear antiperspirant deodorant. I tend to shower when my hair has finally become oily enough that it's noticable, of if I start smelling bad, but my body somehow doesn't produce much of a smell. It's not that I'm just used to my own smell, I've had it confirmed by plenty of people. Even on day 3, I'm generally fresh. I do try to put a hard day 3 limit on myself, though. Times when I've pushed it to 4 days have not been so great lol
