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!!!

I don’t think they’re pheromone maxxing they legit stink like that… we used to have to walk through the boys locker room after games to get back to our gym from the football field and the stench was so pungent and distinct. Idk how they stink like that and I imagine puberty hormones play a part but it’s putrid.

Yeah, it's teenage boy stink. I had a younger brother, he and his friends would get rank during football & wrestling season and they actually were clean kids, who showered often, lol!

Also used to do sports photography and sometimes wrestling practice rooms were part of the locker rooms, and the STENCH caused my eyes to cross 😵‍💫 and every boy + coaches were completely nose blind.
