How come some people don't realize that they have a body odor? They can't smell it?

Answer 1

I think it has to be that they're used to it. I can't really smell the cologne that I put on in the morning any more because I've worn the same one for like the past 5 years. I just have to trust that it's on there. But my g/f immediately can tell whether I'm wearing it or not.

I guess what goes for nice-smelling cologne goes for body funk too. I think if you could just get all those people to take a shower and wear clean clothes and deodorant every day for like 2 weeks, then let them go back to their old habits, they'd immediately smell their problem.

Answer 2

Maybe they like it. Maybe they wonder why you don't have any smell. What is wrong with smell? What if food had no smell, would we enjoy eating as much? What if flowers had no smell? What if there was no fresh fragrant breeze after a summer shower? Wine, cheese, smoke sausage, no smell? I bet you don't smoke either, do you? There is nothing wrong with body odor, unless someone hasn't washed for a week, of course, grow up girl and learn to enjoy life and stop bitchhing at silly little things. PMTs?

Answer 3

I think it's because most of them can't smell it any more. They've gotten used to it, but other people notice it right away. Body odor is one thing I can't stand.

Answer 4

My body odor smell like yours.

Answer 5

They have probably gotten used to the smell. Whats worse is when they try to cover it up with cheap perfume/cologne! YUCK!

Answer 6

b/c people cant smell themselves like other people can. so just put something that smells good around someone who smells

Answer 7

I guess not.
Maybe they're used to it.
