Why are boys assumed to be smelly

[Body odah Man]

I've been wonderin this for a while now cuz of my school experiences. Every time someone smells bad or we enter a smelly classroom, all the girls in the place blame the boys and sometimes we, or at least I, have gotten a sudden spray with airfreshener/deodorant. My question is-are the girls right and are we guys just naturally smelly without knowing it or are they just giving in to stereotypes? Or do I either just know odd girls or have I totally been told some weird things? What do you guys think?

[Plane And Simple]

I feel boys do smell more than girls, hence the stereotype. Not only I feel it and sometimes smell it, but it's been proven.

[Body odah Man]

who by?

[Remora]

more sweat = more smell. all you need to know.

[Blood]

Well I mean, girls can smell just as bad as guys at times. However, I feel like girls automatically assume that guys smell worse because gender roles have always dictated that men do the "dirty, stinky, physical" work, which in turn obviously creates more sweating and, if you don't shower everyday, body odor. But the truth of the matter is that women can smell just as bad as guys. When I get back from a hard work out, or if I've been out in the sun all day busy with outdoor activities, I will sweat a lot. And if I don't shower that night/day I will wake up the next morning stinking. Fairly positive it's called being human.

If you shower everyday and use soap, and deodorant/other smell good shit, you should smell decent throughout the day*. There is no truth in saying "guys smell more than girls." It's all simply up to personal hygiene.

*unless you suffer from some sort of chemical imbalance that could cause excessive body odor.

Who by? I remember a study being done that showed women having a better sense of smell than guys. But I've never heard of it being proven that guys smell worse.

Medical personnel and researchers :)

[Lovelife090994]

I think it's a stereotype but look at society. We throw unique scents of perfume and lotions and soaps for girls but all guys and men get are these musk smelling colognes. Plus men are seen to the dirty and women to do the cleaning or cleaner which has a lot to do with it. It comes down to personal hygiene though.

[Croconaw]

This is the truth, most of the time.

[JustJordan]

It is usaually true as boys gennerally sweat more than girls resulting in a worse odour most of the time. This isn't always true becuase I have hugged some girls who make me want to hold my breath...

[Body odah Man]

Rlly? What makes you say that, experience? (not trying to sound like a brat, just curious)

Ahh I see. Great, now science has labeled us guys as smelly. Fun

Ahh, that makes sense. Never thought about it in those lines. That study you mentioned also explains why girls have been the only ones to spray me with perfume/say you stink to me when I was younger. Thanks for your insight

[Croconaw]

Rlly? What makes you say that, experience? (not trying to sound like a brat, just curious)

It's just the stereotype. I guess that was wrong to say without evidence.

[Gamma Male]

They aren't?

[Stronk Serb]

The better question is: why is society stereotyping metalheads as dirty without hygiene when (at least in Serbia) they are a lot cleaner than the majority turbofolk untermenschen. I am the cleanest in class, but people say I stink because of my choices about appearance, I'm metal.

[Perfectly Flawed]

Like many have said this stereotype is because of gender roles that perceive men to be more physically active and sweaty than women. The more you sweat the more you smell, so that's where the idea comes from.

Medical personnel and researchers :)


Until I see the links to the studies I will doubt your claim.

[ConsiderMeDead]

guys sweat more n therefore smell more

[Typhlosion]

Because of todays standards where people will look askew if you smell as flowery as a woman's parfum.

If I could, I definitely would use flowery deodorant.

What you say is correct, though there may be some hormonal influences and all, both guys and girls can smell bad. Everyone of us has apocrinal glands mixed in with the sweat glands and these secrete smelly pheromones that mix with the sweat, add to that days of not showering or bathing at all.

Also take into account most grooming products for women have different smells than the ones designed for men.

Men do actually sweat easier - i.e., get 'smelly' easier:

Women are better at regulating the amount amount of water their body is losing, so they tend to sweat less and won’t begin sweating till they reach a higher temperature than men typically start sweating at. However, this does not mean that women regulate body temperature better than males. In fact, since a women’s sweat rate is lower and provides less opportunity to dissipate body heat, female body temperature may actually rise more, especially during exercise. Still, when it comes to sweating, men can sweat up to 50% more than women.

http://www.rexonasweatclinic.co.nz/why-do-women-sweat-less-than-men

Men had a significantly higher sweat rate (1.12 L[middle dot]h-1) compared to women (0.57 L[middle dot]h-1), despite the fact that there were no significant gender differences in ad libitum fluid intake.

http://journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/Abstract/2006/08000/Gender_Differences_in_the_Sweat_Response_During.40.aspx

The stereotype isn't baseless.

It also varies based on body chemistry. We all have a different body chemistry which is why some sweat more, or less, smell worse, or why perfumes don't smell the same on everyone. Your diet affects your odor as well regardless of gender.

Well, that's the thing, there is no true perfect diet. Go with what you love and eat plenty of vegetables and fruit. Not everyone can do vegan or vegetarian, so do what works. Eating healthy just means to watch what you eat.

[Nonameanon]

It is more acceptable for women to stop what they are doing and try to smell good (ie put on scented lotion, perfume, etc... in public) while boys only opportunity when they go home and shower.

Soooo while men and women may stink equally, women have more opportunity to cover it up.

If you have a fast metabolism, it meams you get smelly more often which will be noticed in puberty especially. Some guys have to wash two times a day so that they don't stink.

Just a quick shower in the morning and after school. It takes 20 minutes out of your day.

It's not the time that keeps me from doing it, it's the fact that it seems like overkill for me. I'm not a shower person.

[Christen]

as far i know fresh sweat doesn't smell at all.
it starts to smell when left on skin and decomposes

so a good shower now and then.....
ok do guys shower less then girls?
noticed enough guys that simply stink and not meant literally

[pjones]

i don't sweat a lot but shower at least once a day as do my friends. and we can tell which boys don't, they smell in all honesty. not that hard to take a shower every day, only takes a few minutes. and boys and girls will appreciate it when you do.

[Neverender]

Why do girls always assume us guys to be smelly?

I've never heard that or noticed that trend.
Guys do sweat more and produce stronger pheromones, so we do "smell" stronger than females. But I wouldn't use the word "smelly", in terms of being offputting or something worth avoiding

U've never heard or noticed the trend? So many girls at my school complain about people's hygienes yet only of the boys. I wasn't sure if it was a thing of my school or a legitimate problem so I made this thread.

Not by idle assumption and casual speech, no.

Obviously if someone just came from the gym and are clearly sweaty then that's what anyone would say of that person, male or female.
And there's also the little quirk of people writing "you smell" on random binders, papers, etc, but they're not being serious.

So I've never heard that generalized "boys smell" concept. I also live in a completely separate culture

I guess because we are more active. We just do a lot more activities that require us to have an odor I guess. Girls are also supposed to smell good and how perfume makes girls smell like flowers and fruit while cologne sometimes smells gross and that's just how the world is. They want men to smell manly and masculine like we are working hard.

Most men's products smell of musk and sweat and women get all these scents to choose from. I would so use Bath and Bodywork's stuff. I already use women's body wash but not their deodorant, it smells so good too!

[aceasarsalad]

Probably because we like to run around outside and play and don't get too caught up with staying fresh and clean 24/7 lol

Many can't but I like being clean. If I get dirty then that's another chance to get fresh and clean.

[Pacaveli]

Males often sweat more then females, because we are busy with sports and usually very active.

Females are also pretty sporty and active, some of them, yet no-one accuses them of stinking. Therefore, not sure that your hypothesis is valid.

I could never copy that. For me, getting dirty is fun, but then sucks cuz it results in a soapy bath. Nothing can more ruin my mood than a bath filled with scented water.

Yeah, but according to girls we reek, apparently. Thus this humble thread.

[sweetcake]

Depends though, most of the guys at my school smell really-really good, they're mostly a little insecure and aware of their appearances.. They actually bring cologne and deodorant to school just to show off their sweet smell to us girls. They're just silly. I know.

[Pacaveli]

I think my hypothesis is right, because when do you see a woman playing hardcore sports? Do you see the normal girl playing sports? Also, they have something called purses that allow them to carry deodorant and makeup with them, so they always look good.

[Zachary G]

all of the hormones that we have running through our bodies have a lot to do with why we sweat and why we "smell" so much, there really isnt much we can do about it except take more showers and invest in a lot of deodorant.

[aceasarsalad]

I don't remember cuz I've been bathed by parents/sitter til I was 8 or something (nothing inappropriate ever happened, dw). Was just a routine bath, only babysitter thought I needed to smell nicer than normal for some reason. And no, that's not why I hate baths. I hate em cuz I know they're needed yet it knowing why they're needed doesn't make em fun. Plus my sister tries to make me take as many scented baths as possible cuz of my 'boy stink' and I hate scents. I don't hate them because of a trauma or anything like that unless the trauma happened when I was 4 (that's when I started hating em according to parents)

Everything we are in contact with all day long contain chemicals, from the air we breathe, to the food we eat, the laundry soap, body soap, everything.
They say that a large number of people will deal with cancer in the future, it's not because you refuse to use deodorant, eat organic and whatnot, that you won't have cancer, statistics are proving you probably will have it anyway.

I suppose the fact girls do take more care of themselves they will tend to be cleaner as well and I know it's not even all boys and men who uses deodorant since they consider it more like a beauty accessory, that combined to the stronger hormones of boys end up not smelling too good.
If you add to that some teenagers have a phase where they despise showers or baths then it will certainly smell.

True, but this thread is about how, in general, guys that use deoderant, shower daily are still being criticized of stinking by females. I made this cuz I was wondering why, y'know.

Seriously though, I don't think any boy smell can't be handled with deodorant. If you still smell then change brand for a more efficient one or use more.

Isn't this like, the sixth or so time you've made a post just like this in this thread? Just saying, but I don't think too many people are that interested in this topic anymore if you have to say this. Let it be.

Anyways, short thoughts on this, I don't hear a lot of people actually assuming that boys are smelly that much, and if they are, it's likely because guys are presumed to be the messiest in general. :P

I could continue but then, it would get off topic again and my posts would get deleted again, haha.
I will just add that normally, deodorants for women are not as strong as those for men (remember the add for Secret saying: strong enough for a man but made for a woman?) Point is, it's usually not and so, if deodorants for guys has to be stronger, it's probably because guys does smell stronger.

Males tend to sweat more than females. It's not because males exercise "more" than females but rather because they have more sweat glands.
