Why is there a surge of deodorant products mostly advertised to women in the US? (self.asklemmy)

So I have balls and yeah they're the first thing on my body to start to smell. I can skip a shower if I'm in a hurry and I don't smell much. That's with working a job that's usually physical. I was a punk kid fucking punk girls when I was younger and we didn't bathe every day. I didn't notice much smell then.

Now I see these ads regularly that are like hey women you stink after 12 hrs 5/10. What's up?

at which point I already know way before her anyway

You actually don't. Or your wife is accustomed to your smell too, which is probably the case.

I can tell before her, because I'll say I stink and she won't agree. I've also asked my mother if she thinks I ever smell bad -- never (as an adult), she says. I asked her because she asked me, as well, for this very reason (being too accustomed to your own smell, as she lives alone). She doesn't smell either, and uses no products when she showers, just her own natural ingredients soap mix. It might be genetic, that we don't produce much odour. I don't f-ing know lol. All I know is my own situation, and everyone here seems to think we are all the same and alike, but humans are very different sometimes. Deal with it.

Okay dickhead, I have a wife and two children... I thought I left Reddit not to bump into people like you.

The fact that she's my mother had nothing to do with it. She'd tell me if I did. I'd tell her if she did. What's your point?
