So I have balls and yeah they're the first thing on my body to start to smell. I can skip a shower if I'm in a hurry and I don't smell much. That's with working a job that's usually physical. I was a punk kid fucking punk girls when I was younger and we didn't bathe every day. I didn't notice much smell then.

Now I see these ads regularly that are like hey women you stink after 12 hrs 5/10. What's up?

Just because you don't notice the smell doesn't mean there is none...

If I don't shower in the morning, I feel like a bum.

I wish I could shower in the morning, but I'd probably get killed for even just thinking of running water at 4 am in apartment building.

You should keep them away from water at any time, FEEDING them is what you should avoid after midnight.

Why?

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 months ago

Noise from running water.

I guess you gotta trust me on this but my wife and my coworkers are quite direct. They would tell me if I smell. It's very rare for me to skip a shower anyway.

They're just being nice. You stink

Trolling everyone in here, huh. Bully mentality, attacking everyone and anything at their supposed weak point, when in fact it's very ineffective. You're cringe, bro. Having a bad day or something? Go away.
