Alright, Anonymous, let’s tackle a touchy subject today - men’s body odor. I mean, seriously, have you ever noticed how some guys just… smell? I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had to sit next to a guy in class or on the bus who reeks like a dumpster on a hot summer day. It’s not exactly the most appealing thing in the world, is it? Now, I know some of you are probably thinking, ‘But Niamh, women can be smelly too!’ And yeah, that’s true. But there’s just something about the way men smell that’s… different. Maybe it’s the whole testosterone thing? I’m no scientist, but I’ve got my theories.
I remember this one guy in my contracts class last semester. Let’s call him Dave (not his real name, but close enough). Poor Dave clearly didn’t believe in showers or deodorant. Every time he raised his hand to answer a question, this wave of BO would wash over me and half the classroom. It was like he was trying to clear out the room with his armpits. By the end of the semester, people were actually avoiding sitting near him. It was sad, really - the guy was smart, but no one could stand being around him because of his stench. Moral of the story? Shower regularly and invest in good deodorant, guys. Trust me on this one.
Now, before all you men out there start getting defensive, let me make one thing clear: I’m not saying all men smell bad. There are plenty of guys who take care of themselves and smell great (hello to all you sexy cologne-wearing gentlemen out there). But for those of you who are still struggling with this whole personal hygiene thing… well, let’s just say it doesn’t exactly do wonders for your chances with women (or anyone else for that matter). So take it from me: stay fresh and you might just find yourself with more admirers than you know what to do with.
