Let’s return to this much-discussed issue. Because this topic definitely does not go out of fashion. It does not happen that men justify themselves for all the smells that come from them. Thus, the theme does not get old.
When scolding men…
For example, when men are scolded for the smell of tobacco coming from them, they say that even if a man smells of tobacco, what should he smell? When scolded for the smell of sweat, they say that you smell like sweat if you are a man. To justify themselves, they carry the unpleasant smell of tobacco into our homes and offices. At work and at home, we regret hanging clothes in the closets we share together. Because they either smell of tobacco or sweat. But for some reason, some men can’t smell themselves. Perhaps this is the subject of extensive research as to why they cannot smell themselves. However, unlike them, women are sensitive to any odor they have and immediately try to avoid it.
Men, on the other hand, ignore this and continue to smell of tobacco and sweat. Of course, this cannot be applied to all men. But the majority is like that, we would not be wrong. Smokers smell particularly unpleasant. Moreover, after spending hours drinking tea and playing checkers in teahouses with people who smoke tobacco like themselves, when they come home, there is such a strange smell that it makes you wonder. When women say to them, “Do you know about the smell coming from you?”, they clearly see that men are not aware of the smell coming from themselves. Either this smell fills their noses and becomes normal, or they have problems with their senses.
As well as men who smell like sweat. They are certainly not aware that they smell, or they would think about preventing it. Such situations are often encountered in public transport. And you pray to God that this man will get off at the next stop. Sometimes it’s the way you want it, and sometimes you have to smell it all the way to the apartment.
Suffocating dark men’s fragrances
Some men use too much perfume so that you feel like you’re suffocating when you walk by. Also, the choice of most men is dark perfumes. It’s so dark that the smell doesn’t linger for minutes when you drive by. Or, after wearing this perfume at home, the smell does not leave the house for hours. Even in their closets, this fragrance settles, and every time they open it, it fills the room again. Clothes that are washed and ironed also give off this smell.
And you know when the worst happens? Men who use those dark perfumes and smoke tobacco. So, they smoke cigarettes, put perfume and cologne on their heads to get rid of its smell in their world, and also, as they say, bathe with perfume. After that, the skill is for him to be able to breathe surrounded by this smell. That smell cannot be removed from the house or office for hours.
We’d love to know how they like such dark fragrances, but we respect it because it’s their choice. Because there are many women who like dark perfumes. And we have no choice but to respect the choice of men and women.
Will men ever notice their smell?
But one issue still remains unclear, whether men will ever be aware of their own odors. Otherwise, they will continue to justify the smell of tobacco, just as they justify smoking tobacco. They will be perfumed and have an even more unpleasant smell so that this smell does not appear.
In short, I think the question of what men should smell like is a very wrong and inappropriate question. Both men and women should smell what is considered normal: pleasant, unobtrusive. And how to do it, everyone knows well, even if they don’t follow it.
Families broken up because of the smell
I know families who decided to divorce because of the smell. Regarding the smell coming from either a woman or a man. It is true that there are some smells that come independently of the person himself. That is, it is related to some disease, deficiency in the body. But most odors come from neglect. In both cases, it is possible to prevent it. In an era where medicine has developed so much, there are dozens of treatment methods that will prevent someone from smelling bad. However, if we are irresponsible and do not consult a doctor, considering it to be an empty matter, if our family falls apart because of this, then our level of thinking is also not in place. Or, as I said above, if we smoke tobacco, sit for hours in teahouses, absorb these smells and go home, if we put perfume on ourselves to avoid being reprimanded and make it smell stronger, it is still our fault.
Bad smell
Of course, not everyone welcomes these smells the same. There are people who are allergic to the smell of tobacco and strong perfume. And when these smells hit him, as they say, the milk he sucked from his mother comes from his nose. He feels nauseous, dizzy, and vomits. Therefore, such people should be taken into account. Everyone should fight on their own against odors that will bother people, especially in the family and workplace. It is also possible to reduce smoking for the sake of a co-worker or spouse who is suffocating from cigarette smoke.
When I tell men, most of them don’t take it lightly. Moreover, they give rude answers like “you can be allergic to the smell of tobacco and perfume.” This causes dissatisfaction at work and in the family. The smell of sweat is unbearable, and the reason for the breakup of the family can appear because the man does not go to treatment for it.
Respect people, men!
We want men to respect people. We wouldn’t want them to upset people with their unpleasant smell. It would be very well for them to think about themselves, to observe cleanliness, to try to avoid tobacco a little: you see, as tobacco robs you of your health, it also causes you to be scolded by the “perfume” it gives you. Everyone wants to stay away from you in order to stay away from these smells that have permeated your head. See what kind of damage it does to your internal organs if the smell of this tobacco surrounds you.
The result requires that men who smoke tobacco and have sweat problems think about themselves. And let them deviate a little from the claim that “a man smells like a man, smells like tobacco, smells like sweat”. If this happens, they will understand that both men and women should have a smell that does not disturb each other, and that’s it.
