Like, I travel around for work and I’ve met plenty of people from all backgrounds.

Why is there a demographic of people who don’t seemingly bathe regularly, or at the very least wear something to cover up their BO? I could understand if it’s an allergy, or even religious reasons (though the people I’ve met that smell bad are usually you’re average American young adult man) but recently (like in the past week, recently) I’ve met a concerning number of people who don’t seem to wear any kind of deodorant or possibly don’t even bathe regularly; it’s starting to become an issue for me, as I don’t even want to interact with them when I can smell them walking up from 3+ feet away yet I need to for work.

Does anyone have any possible insight?

    I get away with it because body odor is largely impacted by meat intake.

    I’ve encountered plenty of smelly vegetarians and vegans.

    I swear I don’t smell bad, I’ve asked others.

    How sure are you they weren’t just being polite?

      I am 100% sure that I don’t smell bad and people are not just being polite. I definitely would have been called out by now.

      And again, no one will believe me either way. This is the Internet.
