Uh... I have the ABCC11 gene so I don't have body odour and don't wear deodorant. Can I come in?
you have the ABCC11 gene so you can't smell your body odour. go shower
No, ABCC11 means you have no body odour and dry ear wax. It's very common in Korea but far less common among Caucasians.
You don't produce the smell from your own glands, but sweating can still make you smell.
Are you mansplaining the ABCC11 gene to someone with the ABCC11 gene?
I mean, you just said it's about being a decendant of Genghis so you're clearly not that knowledgeable about it

(Wash your ass anyways, ya filthy animal, you still get dirty and produce other skin oils even if you're not quite as smelly)
Hey, so, can you explain to me how putting deoderant in your pits helps with the oil and dirt on your skin? Too many people think that wearing deoderant is a substitute for showering and that's truly gross.
I'm sorry, I made an assumption about someone that thinks "doesn't smell as bad" is the same thing as not smelling at all.
Wha a foolish, pedanic statement.
Point to where I said that I didn't shower.
I have it too and I shower because I'm not gross like you.
They said they don't wear deodorant, not that they avoid showers
They got their feelings hurt because I called out their manspalining. Everything from that point on was a bad faith temper tantrum. Once backed into a corner by their ridiculous arguments they ran away and hid.
I don't care. If they're gonna accuse me of mansplaining, I'm gonna assume they don't shower. I think it's fair game.
Point to where I said that I didn't shower.
I don't want to have to mansplain why I said that. You're a smart person, go figure it out.
Can you explain how deodorant helps with the oils and dirt on your skin?
I don't know about her genes, but I once had a coworker who you could tell didn't use deodorant, but in a clean, freshly-showered way. I absolutely adored her smell when we got into a situation where she was reaching up very near me. It wasn't like the nothing or soap smell you get after a shower, but a human smell. It made me feel very content.
That's what happens when you don't nuke your pits and privates with soap every day. You develop healthy bacteria colonies that don't stink, and which compete with the stinky bacteria for resources. Water and friction is enough for daily washing. Soap is for every couple of days. Except for your hands, wash your hands with soap every day.
Yes. There is no sour BO smell. When I'm working hard I smell like wet clothes and wet body. After a long day in the sun I smell musky.
