Ncsamuel: I respect your thoughts. But I don't make the rules. And when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Otherwise you just become an outcast. I doubt clinging to the cause of being a non deodorant user will be worth a life of hardship. Hardship of not being accepted by society, and collecting anonomity wherever you go. It's all well when you are rich and powerful enough to create trands and live on your own terms. But the people I am talking about are neither, and are here to make a living. Can I ask you to watch this for perspective? https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1047170772004392&id=277508445637299&_rdr Thanks for your input. A question, if you don't mind, from an ignorant person. Just trying to learn. I take it, from your reply, you're against antiperspirants. The body smell, is it considered, to you and others who don't wear deodorants, as a pleasurable smell or not? Like on a scale from 1-10 where 10 is the most blissful smell and 1 the complete opposite, where would you put it? What would you compare the smell to in terms of how pleasurable, or not, it is? |

So I'm in a non-African country with a lot of Africans. I'm african too, although I was raised elsewhere. So please excuse my ignorance I noticed, unintentionally, that almost all of the ones that have recently arrived from Africa tend not to wear deodorant. This habit has given black Africans a not so lovely reputation among locals here, unfortunately. Whenever one sits next to a non-African, that person would shortly afterwards get up because the smell can be pretty overwhelming. I don't think they realize that they have body odor. Or maybe they do but regard it as normal and not offensive. The other day, one of them was dressed immaculatey for a job interview. I sat down with him to talk and immediately I could smell him. I know for a fact that he would never get hired smelling like that. And sure enough, he didn't get the job. Now granted, it could have been for other reasons, but still, it would be a major hindrance. A few days ago I was sitting next to another one while he was on a video call. He was bragging about not wearing deodorants. I couldn't believe it! He was saying that he would never do that and that he is not like that. The way he was talking was as if wearing deodrant is a disgrace. The same one who had an interview, I was chatting with yesterday and he was telling me about certain ethnicities how they don't shower for 3 days and how they stink when you get close to them. I was screaming inside "that's you!". But I just couldn't bring myself to say anything. It's funny too that he brought it up. We were talking about race, and that's how it came up. I deduced from what he said that I don't think he realizes that he smells. Always immaculately dressed with really good clothing that are not cheap, but reeks for a block! It really defeats the purpose of looking good. I like the guy. And I want to help him out. But I just don't want to offend him. Thoughts? |
