I dont think this is the appropriate answer for this column except--I need to ask -- being a fan of your Georgia Straigt column-- errrrrrrr
What do women want a guy to smell like.??? nothing? some testosteronic hoojab of ascerbic hormones? -- sweet? or fresh sweat/ not so fresh sweat? old underwear smells or romance and cigarettes-- the reason I ask is cuz I have NO smell of my own YES YES YES,, it is as if I were Grenouille the mass murderer of the Perfume novel. What I gotta do to get 1 women to look at me -- How do I have to smell?

Mr B in Canada

Mr B in Canada--I once had a GF who remarked on my lack of smell, but I can't say I recall whether it was a turnoff for her. Anyway, my solution was simple: Switch to unscented or lightly-scented hygiene products. You'll be able to find such variants of soap, deodorant, laundry detergent, shaving cream, and the like with only minimal effort. I've had the best luck at places like natural-foods stores and grocery co-ops. After I switched, my GF said that she could smell me a little bit more than before, but that it wasn't very strong. My conclusion was that I just don't have much body odor, which can definitely be a good thing.

There's no way to determine what a woman wants a guy to smell like a priori, so you'll just have to ask. Fortunately, in my experience, most women aren't too particular as long as you shower daily and are otherwise clean, and this applies particularly when you're just trying to get women to look at you--in fact, I'd venture to say that most women who could clearly small a man's body odor on a first date wouldn't agree to a second. As for later in the relationship, you'll have to ask whether your lady wants you to be extra-clean, regular-clean, filthy, or perfumed with whatever scent she desires. Again, however, I doubt insufficiently strong body odor would be a deal-breaker.

No body odor for a man is a definite advantage! My guy of six years can easily go without deodorant without anyone noticing. I suspect it may vary from woman to woman, but my guy wears lightly scented man-products and they smell nice.
If women won't give you the time of day, though, there's probably a better underlying reason...make sure you're not triggering the "ew creepy" alarm.

To FARTS: This happens to me all the time after sex. Mostly because somewhere in all that sexy thrust-y action, air gets inside. So when we're all done, or even shifting spots, the air jumps at the chance to get out, and there is the icky fart sound.

Let's be clear: it is not some weird methane leak. This is just air. Some women get it from sex, some women get it from yoga, and some just get it here and there. It's not gross at all. I've gotten into the habit of giggling.

But then again, I giggle at farts, too.

Not Grossed Out By Body Sounds

Mr B.

Try not to smell like such a honky turd.

P.S Thats absolute bullshit, you have a smell, you just cant smell it.
