Mutant body odor

[Portland Ute]

Am I the only one brave enough to confess that stinky BO on a woman is kinda hot?

"stinky" BO? No.

However, I'll admit that I like the natural smell of a health woman with good hygiene more than a woman coated in Victoria's Secret lotions or Bath and Body works crap.

I tend to believe there is something to pheremones.

Everything in moderation, right?

[Pheidippides]

Japan disagrees with you.



I don't know if "Brave" is the right word.

Japanese hygiene is amazing.

Also, they don't use deodorant usually. And no issues. I find that I don't need to either when I eat very well - light on meat, low fat, whole grains.

I smell some pretty ripe people here in SF, typically homeless people, and it always give me a flashback to my mission.

Robin, there is nothing sexy about a woman with BO, sorry. However, I will admit that I enjoy smelling my own BO even though I know it's horrible.

You are not alone...

My best friend growing up had knock-you-on-your-ass BO. He could literally step out of the shower and reek. He never dated because it was just awful. People wouldn't sit next to him.

He married a woman from Singapore. Later he found out he had some kind of mineral deficiency, and he takes pills for it (IIRC) and he doesn't smell at all now.

And he dumped the mail-order bride about 15 minutes later, didn't he?

No, they're still happily married. Happily inasmuch as a hen-pecked, brow-beaten, cock-on-a-leash dude can be.

I can only speak for myself, but I do not find offensive body odor to be attractive. Ergo, I see no bravery in your actions.

How do you explain 'red' to a person who was born blind?

How do you explain 'red' to a person who was born blind?

The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum with a wavelength between 635 and 700 nanometers

How do you explain 'red' to a person who was born blind?

Heat some rocks in a pot of boiling water, then hold the rocks.

For blue, touch something cold.

And for billowy clouds, touch some cotton balls.

When a person is willing to say the things that are on many other people's mind, but which they are afraid to say publicly, that is the epitome of bravery!

methinks you are the only person who has this on his mind...

You've seen Mask haven't you. And not. I'm not talking about the Jim Carrey movie Mask. The other one..

Where do we find the greatest variety of cheese in the world? France. Germany. Spain. Italy. Greece. The BO Belt. It should surprise no one that the same countries that gave rise to the fetching fetid females of France and Frankfurt (T-Mo, you do NOT have my permission to use that), are also the world's source of Roquefort, Limburger and chèvre. If one's nostrils are sophisticated enough to appreciate a good stinky cheese, then one is probably also the sort to enjoy the great variety of international women's BO. You know that cloud of air that hits you in the face when a woman walks past you in the hall or on the street or when she is getting on the bus? Well your typical American is going to want that cloud to smell like soap and water, or perfume, all of which are the olfactory equivalent of Velveeta (which makes a damn fine grilled 'cheese'), whereas when a 'ripe' woman walks past a sophisticated European or Canadian (like me) we think, 'Why there walks a lovely Stilton.'

Trust me, dabrockster, I am NOT the only one on this board with a refined sense of smell and an appreciation for a little variety in BO. If this weren't primarily an American board, I wouldn't be the lone brave soul willing to speak this truth.
