Why do people at the gym smell bad?
>>
good morning saar
>>
My south Korean friend never brushed his teeth
My Indian coworker smells bad all the time

Not sure if you meant it in the evolutionary way, but if there's any fit scientists, what IS the evolutionary benefit to smelling bad after exercise?
>>
haven't showered yet
no point doing it right before getting all sweaty
enjoy the leftover bedroom and woman stank... my gf sweats all over me it's ridiculous

Because they are sweaty? What kind of question is this?

>Why do sweaty people smell
It's a real mystery

>evolutionary benefit
Bad body odor isn't really something that has a reason for evolving, it's a byproduct of bacteria breaking down sweat. There are other odors created from exercise though, they convey messages about the health of a person, the sex of a person, hormonal cycles, woman have even been shown to subconsciously prefer the smell of men with stronger immune systems. We subconsciously perceive the pheromones, it's why women are often viewed as more attractive during ovulation.

Mixing the pheromones with cologne or deoderant often causes a stink reaction that is highly undesirable. Also old sweat is just a rancid smell, but its a chemical reaction especially to women in heat as it greatly heightens their senses and need to fuck by give or take 2x. It just brings a rush of adenaline and lust and all they can think about is getting their butt pounded then all sweaty and naked.

Too many indians. Do you live in Canada?

Ehhh kind of, you're on the right track though. Human ovulation is very subtle compared to other animal species, it's nothing like 'heat'. Animals with heat cycles have show obvious signs they are sexually available. Even compared to other animals who menstrate like us we are different, female chimpanzees' butts literally swell bright pink when they are ovulating. There isn't that much of a reason for humans to be super receptive to hormones, we can reproduce year round. We can also just say that we are horny instead.

Isnt their some association with pumpkin/the harvest and particularly women being in a more romantic than slutty mood? Theres also the old cuffing season thing which now everyone thinks is no longer cool and instead gay.

Theres also romance novels. Women are more sophisticated whereas men are stupid brutes, and humans seem to be beter looking than animals in my experience and puberty has more sexual dimorphism or whatever. I mean men all rush to college to make money so they get to have sex. Women are already mature by then so they get to have sex since women want a fully developed man instead of a young male to protect them because genetics were invented before martial arts.

A lot of babies are born during the fall, I would assume that the cold winters encourage people to have sex since they dint have much else to do. A lot of holidays and festivities happen during winter as well, people are having Christmas sex
>has more sexual dimorphism or whatever
Humans don't have much sexual dimorphism compared to our ancestors or our closest animal relatives. The biggest difference is muscle mass, but compared to our relatives like chimpanzees it is not that much. Human women have significantly more fat, but humans have more fat in general. Humans domesticated themselves, the creation of weapons reduces the amount of sexual competition among males. Why would you need bulging muscles when you can kill someone with a pointy rock? Humans are also very cooperative, entire villages would raise children, and men would help raise children alongside women. As a result, human women don't need to be significantly smaller than men. Our sexual behaviors are similar to bonobos, we lean towards monogamy but aren't strict monogamists. We also use sex to strengthen bonds between each other, humans have larger penises and have sex for longer, but we are less fertile. Interestingly, bonobos also have low sexual dimorphism.

It's the reason I use Axe body spray before I go.

I've noticed a lot of young people are wearing no deodorant - both white and non-white

There was a tiktok thing about using glycolic acid as a deodorant but they're clearly just not wearing anything at all. I'm surprised they aren't embarrassed
>>
>>76705832
I'm a young guy and I use a lot of perfume and deodorant
>>
>>76705834
I lather myself up all over until im shiny, then i go to the gentlemans club to put on my acceasories such as monacle and top hat I feel like impressing the ladies with my nice suits, black suit and bowtie with snakeskin boots and my favorite strolling cane.

Take care of your hygiene

>>76705252
what lifts to get women with this body?
>>
>>76705832
even my hippy dippy natural deodorant was irritating my armpits, so i just stopped using it. i shower just before going to the gym, so i don't think i smell bad anyway.
>>
>>76704836
Unless person has shit themselves or they don't wash ass I usually don't notice BO. Is this normal ?
>>
>>76706299
I'm allergic to those natural deodorants as well.

I use glycolic acid in winter and glycolic acid + a few drops of lavender oil in summer. It is something you should consider because chances are you do actually smell and you are making other people's gym experiences a lot worse.
>>
>>76706284
Be black I guess
>>
>>76706328
>don't wash ass

Literally this. If you just wipe, the poop crust on your asshole gets sweaty and starts smelling like a pig pen.

Evolution is not survival of the fittest but reproduction of the good enough
