I've got a coworker with that rank, old man smell that can almost put me out. He's a great guy, but there are times when I have to avoid him like the plague.

I also happen to live in a community with a large population of unwashed hippies. I feel like pulling an Eric Cartman at times and want to yell at them to take a bath. It breaks my heart when I see an attractive girl walking down the road with dreads and a cloud of funk that precedes her. What a waste.

We also have a decent size population of Mennonite folks. Most of them are clean, polite and some of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. Lots of them farm locally or run their own businesses, but a few of them don't seem to have learned the old adage that "cleanliness is next to godliness."

Also, why does every heavy smoker seem wear sweats and hoodies that they never wash?

And don't even get me started on the idiots who think there are health benefits to not washing or shampooing their hair. What epic stupidity.

I don't know if I have an overly sensitive sense of smell or what, but sometimes it's almost overwhelming to be around some people.

If you eat lots of garlic then you are going to smell no matter what. Residents of a certain Asian country do but I'll just keep it at that.

Its all about the bacteria on your person.

If you never shower and never work in the dirt, you are going to smell rank. You can't say "oh well naturally your body stops producing as many oils" and well yea and naturally you'd have ammonia-oxidizing bacteria on you from running around in the dirt.

You really can't go without a shower, yes you smell bad. I take a nice long bath everyday. Gets your feet cleaner :awe:.

Essentially there is a scale from just took a shower to smelly homeless man covered in flies. Its really the same, distinctive bacteria smell once you know it. Particularly the homeless in the city, which is no different (no contact with dirt) from smelly computer nerd or smelly sedentary desk jockey. If you go into the convenience store in a stain covered hoodie smelling like 7/10ths of a homeless man you'll probably be treated as such.

Most people don't give a shit about their feet. I wash mine several times a day, not as often as my hands but still several times is way more than most people ever wash them.
Also, people don't actually wash them ever. They stand in the shower and by stepping in water they expect them to be clean. Bullshit. You have to wash each foot with both hands, lathered up in soap, get between the toes really well and wash top and bottom after they have soaked in hot water and are nice and soft. Rank bastards.
If you stick your nose to your foot, bury it between your toes and if you smell anything, your shit is filthy.
Actually, I challenge you guys, to right now, stick your nose between your toes and promptly report back with your findings.

Most people dont smell from oil or any shit coming out of their pores. Most people smell from the germs festering in the water or oil on their body.

You kill those germs once a day and you will be MUCH better off.

You also need to kill the hand germs, more than once a day. Usually each trip to the restroom is a good time.
You arent washing your hands cuz your dick is dirty. You wash your hands because its fucking time to wash your god damn hands.

Also, if you wash before touching your dick, then your dick stays clean.
