I've noticed a lot of people don't do things the way I do them and it bothers me too!! Stomp your right foot with me if you agree!

For me, it was because my mountain bike gear was being washed on cold as heat screwed up the Eva foam in the knee pads and body armor. The jersey also got washed cold, so bacteria never got killed off. When it got hot, the heat would activate the smell, but it's hard to tell when you are going fast down a trail.
Once I started washing everything possible on hot, it stopped a lot of the smell.
I assume people are doing that with non-mtb clothing and getting similar BO results. So it's quite possible it's also not necessarily them, but their clothes.

I just don't like them. I like the natural body odors, even with women, I hate it when they cover that up with some heavy perfume.
you donβt like showers
I do, but not excessive showering. Sure, once a day in the summer, 2 or 3 times a week in the winter, I think that's fairly normal.

am smell good without deodorant
I am not of those you are describing but in general: Some can have (afaik) genes that do not necessitate the use of deodorants.

I know I will let myself go when I'm in the midst of being deeply depressed, but then again I usually don't get much past my bed then. So that could be some of it.
I used to have a buddy that stank to high heaven, good dude overall, but damn did he smell. Turned out that he never washed his clothes. Once he got in the habit of doing that the problem resolved itself quickly.
The only other thing I can think of would be some Andrew Tate types going on about some made up benefits of 'natural male musk ' or something like that. Not sure if anyone is doing that, but I could see some men taking to that advice.

I don't apply deodorant at all. Maybe before I know I'm about to be active, but even without it, it's fine, I shower after anyways.
