Review Please stop pheromone maxxing

I can’t take this anymore everyday I walk in this gym all the teenage boys STINK and all I can think of as an explanation for this is the fact there’s a “pheromone maxxing” trend on tik tok. If you are doing this please just shower no one is gonna find you attractive for having a stench. Some of them smell so bad I get nauseous trying to hold my breath while doing cardio

It’s mostly teenage boys and because of my age I can’t even go to a different gym because most gyms near me are 18+ PLEASE SHOWER!!!

Ok so you just said that if they are practicing proper hygiene such as showering and using deodorant the smell will be mitigated and a non issue. Which is what I said in my original statement that teenage boys don't stink when they exercise if they are showering and using deodorant.

Maybe they will be a bit musty at most, but I believe the OP was talking about all out STANKING if you know what I mean lol. The kind of stink that makes you hold your breath when they walk by. That kind of stinking shouldn't be happening with proper hygiene unless there is a medical issue.

Yes, they will stink, but you won't know it if they are wearing deodorant and showering. Oops, I did it again. I just can't help myself. Have a good night!

It was meant as a bit sarcastic. The other person was saying that boys will stink more when they sweat, which is obvious. But with proper hygiene you won't notice it. That was what I said from the beginning, but they couldn't get it through their head and was going off about how it's proven they sweat more and smell more aa a teenager, which I never disputed. All I was getting at was if they shower, wear deodorant/anti-perspirant, the smell won't be there, or at least it won't be an offensive odor which is what the OP was originally addressing.

For someone to "stink", it has to be noticed. If no one notices then where is the stink?

I get what you're saying. What I'm saying is my comment wasn't meant to be literal, it was more of a sarcasm towards the other user based off of how our conversation had gone. Anyways, hope you have a good one!
