Girlfriend is not a fan of no shampoo/no deodorant

[Ben Kenobi]

Apparently many things fall into place.

[Fake Boris]

I'm no soap/shampoo/deodorant and I'm doing just fine.

Isn't it strange how things like this are incredibly surprising and incredibly unsurprising at the same time?

(xpost, but still works )

[Dinner]

Wash your goat smelling ass and wear deodorant, you barbarian.

[Fake Boris]

I wash myself with water. It works.

[notyoueither]

Dude, we got along fine for tens of thousands of years without deodorant.

Outside of the Arab elite, no one used deodorant until the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Wash your underarms and trim the hair and it won't stink.

Plus antiperspirants aren't really good for your body.

Deodorant is not antipersipant.

[SlowwHand]

No, it's not; but I'm sure she termed her request carefully. What a PIG! You not only have to be told, you have to come here and share? Ask if you should believe her?
BELIEVE HER!

[Dinner]

Why do you think I called him a barbarian? He finally suckered some poor woman into dating is barbarian ass and he's throwing it away because he's a pig who won't bath or use regular hygiene products.

I'm no soap/shampoo/deodorant and I'm doing just fine.

Again, many things fall into place.

Speer, when even your girlfriend is telling you that you smell like a goat's butt crack the correct answer is to believe them and make positive change to remedy the problem. It is not to be your usual retarded pig headed self and insist that everyone else is wrong.

Deodorant was known to 8th century Andalusians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziryab). I don't know if it was a short-lived fad or if it continued for centuries but given Arab cultural concerns with ritual cleanliness (that influenced Islam), I wouldn't expect the practice to have been short-lived.




Baking Soda absorbs odors and coconut oil has antifungal properties.

Here's a recipe for home-made deodorant: http://wakeup-world.com/2013/05/14/m...cipe-included/

Get the **** out of her with that ineffective hippie bull****

Bull****.

He's French, ffs.

Read the NY Times article I posted. Yes, after I sweat on a run, I usually take a shower though once the sweat dries, I don't exactly smell so I don't always do that. Maybe a quick dab of water on the armpits. But on other days when I don't sweat, I don't really need to shower either. I shower maybe 4 times a week.

If your girlfriend felt the need to ring you to ask you to wear deodorant then yeah I think you can feel pretty confident that you smell.

Also not showering after a run, wtf is wrong with you?

Decide what's important to you and act accordingly.
Do NOT try to convince the GF that your POV is correct. Unless (see above) you don't care how she might react.

Believe it or not, Alby, there are times in any relationship when the smart play is to ignore the debate and just play along. Small price to pay.

Get a grip.
