Body odour can be due to several different factors- how much you sweat due to the weater, personal hygine , personal habitsa like bathing, mouth washing, etc, and most importantly WHAT IS THAT YOU EAT.
Body odour also has a relation to smell of your urine which is again mainly due to what food you eat.
Non vegetarian foods have more acidity and this leads to several different odours from the body.
For those who want to get rid of body odour as also getting rid of smelly urine, here is a simple inexpensive suggestion:
TRY TAKING A TABLE SPOON OR TWO OF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR MIXED IN WATER EVERY DAY IN THE MORNING , ON EMPTY STOMACH. CONTINUE THIS FOR ATLEAST 2 MONTHS AND THEN SEE THE RESULTS FOR YOURSELF. FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT GET RESULTS IN ONE OR TWO SPOONS OF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, YOU CAN INCREASE THE QUANTITY AS YOU FEEL FIT. SURELY YOU WILL GET RID OF THE BODY ODOUR AND MELLY URINE.
I smell some sort of body odour (only from the armpits) within a half hour of leaving the shower. It's the constant humidity of the underarm area that screws you over I think. After I leave a hot shower I never forget to put on deodorant. Not because I consciously remind myself to, but because after a short while I feel some sort of uncomfortable friction in my armpits from them becoming too moist. My body won't even be sweating or anything, the area just stays hot and humid since armpits never really get much open air, which is especially noticeable after 10 minutes of being doused with hot water.
After I put on deodorant they seem good to go until the next day at least. I noticed that only the deodorants that are roll-on with white on the stick (rather than clear or blue/green or whatever) work though. Not sure why.
So I'm not sure how to answer the poll. If you mean without deodorant I am horrible, with it I am less smelly than average I would think. I see lots of people mentioning diet, but I eat really well, have a good weight, and am not someone who leads a sedentary lifestyle, although I am also not a jogger or anything.
If you shower regularly and wear deodorant, your body odor shouldn't be too bad. I work out regularly and never stink afterward. I take long walks in the hot weather with my camera and never stink regardless of how much I sweat. Everyone is different though, and I would imagine diet can play a part in it. For instance, I think I remember reading that heavy garlic eaters may have stronger body odor than someone who doesn't consume a lot of garlic.
Its true one cant be a good judge of their own odor.
I think my natural smell is good cause thats what my boyfriends have told me .
But im no alien, i can smell sometimes, in summer if i sweat a lot.
However, i had one boyfriend who....didnt smell at all. Ever. I mean, all the other man i dated had their own peculiar smells, they all smell good most of the times, but they were human in the sense that they sweated, they could have bad breath in the morning, and smell of sweating, etc, i mean like a normal person.
However, this guy: NEVER smelled. He was like the guy from "Perfume" the novel. I swear it was freakish. Never had bad breath either, he always smelled like mint no matter what he just ate. And never had a bad smell in his body even if he was out working all day in the heat of the summer and i just smelled him. I mean i smelled him all the time trying to find a bad smell even a bit of it and...NOTHING
It was scary actually, cause hes the only person i ever knew who never ever didnt smell at all.

I dated a guy once (just dates, nothing further), who always smelled wonderfully. Even if he had just worked out, he smelled great! He wasn't a particularly nice guy, but boy did his body smell good!
My body odor is pretty much nonexistent due to cutting out meat and dairy and daily bathing.
you have less body odor by cutting out daily bathing?
I got my own office at work without asking for it. My non bathing seems to pay off. If I just weren't so lonely.
