I’m so jealous of people who don’t get that smell… summer and spring would be so much easier without it. I really want to go to Korea, but I’m afraid people will think I’m gross because I either smell like sweat or deodorant 🙁

Anyway, interesting video. Thanks for explaining, so that I know what to pack when I do go 😉

Some people love BO smell. There’s a story about Napoleon returning from the war. Supposedly he sent a 2 weeks notice to Josephine (his wife) for not to take a bath before he gets back, cause he loved the BO smell (or stink by that time).

I have a personal experience to prove that as well. I was hitchhiking in Finland few years ago. I had no chance to take a shower for 3 days. It was cold and rainy, so I had all the clothes I had with me on for 24/7 x 3. By time I finally reached Helsinki (capital) I felt so gross myself that if I could I would have run away from myself, probably one could see the stench hanging around me. And yet I have never been winked at that much in a day as I was then in Helsinki. Ewww….

And don’t think that finnish guys are outgoing ‘winkers’, they are usually very shy, especially the unmarried ones.
Is hitchhiking common in Korea?

I sweat a lot but don’t really have a noticeable BO smell unless someone puts their nose under my armpit lol. Is the gene either on or off, or can it be weakened? I’m Chinese. When I smell someone with BO, it almost makes me want to gag so I don’t breathe while near the person (same thing for smokers)–I have an ultra sensitive nose. Funnily enough I don’t like the smell of deodorant either, although I haven’t looked for a no-scent deodorant, I always see cucumber melon, fresh scent, etc. and I can’t stand them lol. However, even if I don’t smell, I still would feel weird just hanging what I wore back on a hanger, my general rule (unless it’s a suit or something that has to be dry cleaned) is that I wear it once and it has to be washed!

Hello, my name is Miss faith, I’m from USA. I want to inform you all that there is a spell caster that is genuine and real. I never really believed in any of these things but when I was losing Garvin, I needed help and somewhere to turn badly. I found consultant.odia spells and i ordered a LOVE SPELL. Several days later, my phone rang. Garvin was his old self again and wanted to come back to me! Not only come back, the spell caster opened him up to how much I loved and needed him. Spell Casting isn’t brainwashing, but they opened his eyes to how much we have to share together. I recommend anyone who is in my old situation to try it. It will bring you a wonderful surprises as well as your lover back to you. The way things were meant to be.” you can contact the spell caster on ogbonispelitemple@hotmail.com he’s very nice and great. mmmmmmmmmmmmm

As a half-Japanese, I will unfortunately have to let you know that your kids will probably have that stinky gene. Sucks but seems like the BO and sticky ear wax is a dominate gene (my older brother is same way). Although in our case at least doesn’t seem to be all that strong of a BO, it is still definitely there. I do however, re-wear clothes all the time, just wearing any kind of deodorant seems to prevent the BO from transferring to clothing.

Was quite frustrated though when I went to Japan a few years back and spent the summer working on a cow farm (was trying to improve my Japanese by working). Could find deodorant all over Japan but it wasn’t the antiperspirant/stick kind, just some can of aerosol deodorant that didn’t do anything besides cover up the smell for a bit. Didn’t do much for my BO from sweating all day.
