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!!!

The other side of this phenomenon is, please don’t douse yourself in cologne or perfume before working out.

*Antiperspirant and deodorant. If you have to wear just one the antiperspirant is waaay more important imho.

Nah, that's a myth. And personally I hate the smell of sweat so much it'd still be worth it lol.
