I'm surprised it's not considered on the gross side.

Don't both women and men complain about the person who is perspiring and has no deodorant when riding a subway car?

Yep, right after a workout I don't stink. Let it fester for an hour or so though...

No one likes someone who smells all the time. That's gross. However it has proven that women get turned on by the natural smell of a man. I believe they put many women that were ovulating into a gym room with sweaty male jerseries and they got excited. So it just depends. Men get excited when a woman is ovulating and her voice is higher. There is also pheromones perfume that women were to attract the opposite sex.

And yes if a man can't get down and dirty from time to time with hard work, he is a sissy boy in my book.

Fresh sweat doesn't smell. You and your clothes will start to smell after a while when bacteria start growing.

I totally think this is true. For example, I think one of my male friends is much more attractive when I run into him 5 minutes after a bike ride (or some other physical activity). Otherwise I just think meh. Hahaha.

Back when I lived at my dad's I'd usually hit up a coffee shop after going to the gym. Maybe this is just looking back through hazy, rose-colored lenses but I'm pretty sure the ladies there always looked at me a bit more when I came in after a workout, and trust me I didn't look like some shredded Marine!!

Some men just have very low-scent sweat. Me? I can start smelling stuff on my shirt's pits just a few hours after waking up if I don't put on deodorant

Yes, and like I've posted before, women prefer the "bad boy" when ovulating, too, according to a study. But that's another thread. And if some psych department was willing to test that out, how can we refute it.

This is the exact reason I'm so glad I carry scented sprays, was on the bus yesterday with a bunch of smelly men, pulled out my spray, proceeded to discreetly spritz the area around me. Had to do this a few days earlier as well. Not one thing attractive about a sweaty man, wet, (water dripping off that hot bod,) yes, sweaty no.

No. That has nothing to do with masculinity. Women find more masculine men to be more masculine.

HTH.
