KnightCrawler, Well I do know our masala smells a big time ... in fact very good to me, but for some it smells bad, just the way the deodarants smell allergic to me. When I smell deodarants, I know the guy is hiding his real smells first and foremost; he might be trying to be nice to folks but not to me. One thing none has probably dared to raise but with some humbleness I dare is: when you masterbate, you have a wet night or have a good sex with your partner, you'll eventually smell like a bull. This is the same foul smell that comes from H2S (Hydrogen Sulphide) you find in rotten eggs. This is true for both men and women. So Make sure right after this godly ritual, you take a good shower. I mean it. Again, do not take me wrong. You should not fart, smell bad in a public area. Your socks should not be detected by those radaral noses from miles away. But rather than trying unknowingly things, it is 1000 times better to follow simple rules to stay out of the problems all the time. However good deodarants you buy and use, the deodarants are also chemicals bacteria can easily decompose. Once bacteria start decomposing deodarants, Sir Crawler, you will smell worse than without it. ------------ Regarding this kind of issue, at one point you gotta stick out your thingy and say hell with you and your nose. There are folks who want to pretend more civilized in one way or other. For me this is an ignorance. Face it, a human should be able to tolerate a human's smell at one time or another; there are no perfect humans. White folks have their own smells, black have their own proprietary smells you can never have them even if you wanted and we Asians are known to have food smells. What is the big deal?
