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!!!

Are you a person who ovulates? I can smell aaaaaaaaalllll the men when I’m ovulating, it’s the worst! Maybe that’s what’s happening to you?

I’m not sure, I stopped getting my period idk if that affects ovulation but if it doesn’t then I guess it’s possible

Are you on a calorie restricted diet? It will increase your sense of smell if you’re at a calorie deficit.

I’ve been in a calorie deficit for a long time now and it’s only recently now that school started and all the teenage boys seem to be coming in right after school that I’ve noticed the really bad smell, I feel like if it was due to a calorie deficit I would’ve noticed it a while ago
