Q: Why don't people use deoderant here? Whew!!!!
Nothing like a bushy underarm on a hot day with no deoderant
some of these women need to be told and the men are no better
My Gf was nagging I needed a shower and all foreigners need cologne so they don't stink.Not like Chinese man, then i got on the elevator which stopped on 4 floors to let guys on this morning. They should still be fresh right,,na they were ripe. i think she's so used to smelling Chinese men that she doesn't notice. Btw I had just showered, used deoderant and cologned myself, brushed and flossed my teeth and used mouth wash, even fresh undies. geesh..maybe it was her she smelled.
haha, I was talking about this with a foreign friend yesterday. He complains it is hard to get deodorant here and its more expensive...
the worst situation is when you get on the train and the window can not be opened..
and by the way the girls in my class don't shave, and they(include my family) think i am alien just because i do.
and i guarantee you there are a lot of chinese never heard of deodorant.
one more thing, when woman delivered a babe, their parents will keep the woman in a room for a month, during this one month no shower, some of them even dont brush their teeth, window cant be opened etc... that sounds so disgusting to me, but people are very serious about it...
so its hard to notice that when someone born and grow up here.
TedDBayer:
I never had a problem with women not shaving here and many have so little body hair
bonita8187:
well, come to univercity town and you'll see woman with body hair everywhere.
I do believe as my wife has told me that one, they are used to the smell of their body odor, therefore the actually don't smell it, but will claim they can smell foreigners. LOL, anyway, also deoderants contain chemicals and my wife refuses to put it on her body, but man she loves the estee lauder,
Maybe they don't want people to be around them. who knows why? Could be that they can't afford any or they are too lazy! There are a lot of reasons why...^ ^
Here is a list of what I have heard.
Chinese people don't sweat like us
Chinese people don't smell like us
Chinese people have smaller glands
Chinese people have less hair where bacteria can grow and fester
Chinese people don't eat meat as much as we do
Chinese people are not as active as us
If you smell you smell and no one here will dare say to another that they smell so they keep on smelling.
My gf was shocked when she first saw me use deodorant. She said it's very bad for the body and then I laughed my ass off. She said she would never use it.
After complaining about everyone here stinking all the time...including her at times (jokingly)....I guess it sunk in.
About 1 month ago I found a mini ladies' deodorant in her purse that she had been secretly using of late....lol.
