I must be getting old. I didn't used to smell like this.

Could be something you ate, could actually be a medical condition you're unaware of. Keep an eye on those odors OP. I'm an old fuck too but I don't stank like onions, that ain't right old boy.

seriously though the last couple years i noticed i smell different when i sweat. i always shower daily and go overboard with body spray/deodrant but at the weekend if i'm not doing anything or if i'm off work i might skip a shower and even if i'm not doing anything too physical i sweat a lot worse.

maybe it is age but it could also be stuff you're eating (i noticed if i have a hot curry cause i love hot chilli) or it could be something off in your body.

Have you tried taking a thorough bath? I find that a hot soak followed by a good scrub with soap reduces my general stinkyness for a couple days after.

i'm not really a bath person. haven't got the time for it in the morning before work. i prefer jumping in the shower and being out in 10 minutes. i do have a bath the odd time. i actually had one at the weekend because i was feeling a bit ill. i can't really say i've noticed a difference though.

What if the odor smells bad to you, but it is an aphrodisiac to women? Maybe they smell it differently...

Eh, don't sweat it OP. One time I ate some rotten berries...

I remember the first time in my life I ever smelled rampant BO, I was playing this kid one on one in basketball. A friend of a friend. And I legit thought he just got done eating tacos before we played because he reeked of something that smelled like tacos. Then at some point he lifted up his arm near my face and I got a whiff of it and I was like holy shit that’s what awful BO smells like.
I used to play a ton of pick up basketball.... middle school bo is the worst. I swear some people didn't shower for a week before games.

Plus I wrestled my sophomore year. I didn't notice as much cause when I had a match I was really focused. But lots of sweaty dudes back then

My wife sat next to a woman who pulled out and ate a onion like one eats an apple, on a NJT train. Wife reeked of onion when she got into the car.
Moral of the story: were you exposed to some one eating onion?

Yeah but sometimes you smell alright and you do the old scratch and sniff on yourself. Ahh don’t react that way. We all have done it.

Time to start putting moth balls in your closet. It will keep the moths away and you will have that permanent universally adored musty acrid smell.
