I'm Indian and I'm offended by what you said. People of any race, creed, color, or nationality can have a stinky smell. It doesn't matter what race that person is. The cause for anyone would be a lack of hygeiene, not taking a shower, not brushing properly, not using mouthwash. If I wasn't such a nice guy, I would report you. Someone ought to though.

I really can not stand patchouli. My mom and sister just love it, so I have to smell it often. Sometimes, I think they pile it on just for my benefit. :p\n\nWhy would anyone want to smell like burning dirt???

ain't that lucky, to have an in house shower.  When it gets warm, we jump in the crick and jump around a bit.  Get some of that winter grime off the body.  Gotta be careful though, with the crocks and snakes swimmen around.  Personally i hates the smell of clean peoples.  Don't find it appealing at all.  Nothing like the rank odor of a dirty crotch, butt kicking arm pits to turn a country boy like me, "ON".  I bet some of you out there even have that ass wipe paper?   Never tried it.  To me, Clean is mean.  Smellin shitty is pretty.

The main reason some people's feet (or more precisely, some people's socks and shoes) smell worse than other people's is that some people sweat more than other people. This is just one of the many variable physiological qualities of human beings. This is also why sometimes your feet smell much worse than at other times -- it all has to do with how much you sweat.\n\nSo, since foot odor is caused by bacteria digesting sweat, there are two main ways to reduce the stink. You can:\n\n    * decrease the amount of bacteria on your feet\n    * decrease the amount of sweat that collects on your feet and in your shoes \n\nReducing the level of bacteria is really a matter of cleanliness. To control the bacteria population on you feet, you should:\n\n    * wash your feet with strong anti-bacterial soap\n    * wear clean socks\n    * don't wear the same shoes everyday - give a pair of shoes 24 hours or more to air out before wearing them again \n\nTo reduce the amount of sweat that collects in your shoes, you should:\n\n    * wear well-ventilated shoes instead of very constrictive shoes, such as boots\n    * always wear socks, preferably made of cotton or other absorbent materials that absorb a lot of the sweat so the bacteria can't feed on it\n    * change your socks a few times a day\n    * buy some absorbent Odor-Eater type shoe inserts\n    * apply an antiperspirant to your feet \n\nIf your foot odor is really bad and these solutions don't help much, then you should see a doctor. There are a number of prescription drugs that can treat serious foot odor, some by killing bacteria and some by reducing foot sweat.

Because they contain methane in them.  Also, Beta-mercaptoethanol is the substance that makes them stink.

What makes farts stink? \n\n\nThe odor of farts comes from small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas and skatole in the mixture. These compounds contain sulfur. The more sulfur-rich your diet, the more sulfides and skatole will be produced by the bacteria in your guts, and the more your farts will stink. Foods such as cauliflower, eggs and meat are notorious for producing smelly farts, whereas beans produce large amounts of not particularly stinky farts.

In some cultures, body odor is actually preferred to products that cover up or prevent the smell.  There is no hygienic reason to use it.

Vaginal odor could be due to an infection.  If it is a foul odor, then you have an infection.  It would be best to be checked out by your doctor to see what is going on.  Avoid douching as this can disrupt the normal bacterial content of your body and make things even worse.

It is not true with all men. Some men do have worse odor like some women do. It usually depend upon how one's body prespire. Some people prespire but they have no odor. It is not necessary only men have worse odor. It is actually how our body acts. Body odor can be controlled by using deodorants and perfume and using quick dry clothes. Frequent shower also help. If odor is uncontrollable, then doctor should be seen.

they can't smell it.  just like people don't mind the smell of thier own poop or thier own farts.  I think its a defense mechanism built into our physiology to protect us from ourselves.  lol

I'm sorry to hear your problem.  I am not a doctor but I know that eating certain types of foods will cause body odor.  (eg. garlic, onions, lamb, curry, spices, etc)  I do not know anything about your situation but other things I would recommend.  Showering daily, changing and washing your clothes daily, using antiperspirant and deoderant.  These things will minimize your body odor.\nIf multiple people are bringing this up, there must be some validity to it.  Good Luck!

If you're serious:\nheath, diet and hygiene are the the big three effects on how a person smells.\n\nIf you're kidding:  Some people just stink.
