- goda90 9y agoBut how do you smell after you shower it off? It could also be that people who exercise a lot might be less likely to sweat outside of exercise time.

- glenneroo 9y agoUsually 2-4 times per week, but mostly just weekends. Definitely not athlete material (anymore at least). When I'm properly sweaty it generally isn't pleasant, especially when it dries. I should have also noted that I haven't used deodorant in at least 10 years. Maybe I just got lucky and won the genetic lottery in regards to smelly bacteria.
