    Germans smell bad; I've only been there thrice, but let's just say the hygiene industry doesn't get much business over there. [face_sick]

    Gravy, nobody referenced a specific french person who smells bad. So far as a collective, we know 3 russians who smell bad and 1 Czech

    They smell because they touch themselves at night.

    Oh well the answer to the thread subject is...well not sure I guess its different standards. Must also be a result of the wars where warm water was hardly available and it remained in people's consciousness.

    Also I think people here aren't noticing the smell because they're used to it.

    At the end though this thread is simply forcing one standards on another :)

    not shaving arm pits is soooo gross.

    To be fair only people from Germanic countries tend to do that. Think of The Netherlands, Germany etc.

    Eeeeexcuse me? You sure you're from the Netherlands?
    Odd.

    For the record: most people do shave their armpits here.

    Live here for 19 years thank you very much and yes out of experience I notice alot of Dutch women don't shave their armpits. Admittance most of them are the older generation or so to speak.

    Maybe not the newer generation, like yourself.

    Because we're undead. We died long ago and we've been raised by Islamic activists to continue the glory of long dead empires. See? It makes sense.

    I know and have known many Europeans and many Americans and even a few Africans and Asians. Out of all the people I have ever known from wherever they happened to be from, the Africans were the smelliest, the Europeans smoked too much, the Asians were short, and the Americans tended to be self-righteous and ignorant.

    As an American, I can say that I have been guilty of each and every one of these traits at one point or another. Not today though.

    Well, I've lived here for 23 years, so I guess by your logic that makes my opinion better than yours. I've never seen a woman with unshaved armpits, so you must just have looked at the wrong women.

    Americans are such idiots. Seriously, I met this guy once from Nebraska, and he thought that New Zealand was up in the Arctic Circle.

    And then there was this woman from New Hampshire who was so loud. She just wouldn't shut up about how great American is, and how stupid foreigners are, and how George W. Bush is the greatest president America has ever had.

    I worked with some guy from Alabama once. He was a member of the KKK and lynched black people in his spare time, and had the Confederate flag tatooed all over his forearms.

    Don't you just love stereotypes?

    Wow, you too?! :eek:


    3 outa 4 is most intriguing! [face_thinking]

    NH chicks, that must be a common trait for them.


    The one I know is more mouthy about how great New England and New Hampshire in praticular is greater than even America as a whole.

    I think the have medication for that, I'm not sure.


    Back on topic:
    Causes of European body odor include:

    Drugs, toxins, or herbs, such as alcohol, arsenic poisoning, cyanide poisoning, or cigarette smoking.

    Eating certain foods, such as garlic or raw onions, which can cause bad breath.

    Excessive sweating.

    Inborn errors of metabolism, such as a group of conditions known as aminoaciduria. These tend to be noticed in childhood.

    Infections, such as a lung abscess or pocket of pus, skin infections, ******* yeast infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or urinary tract infections.

    These can cause odor in the area of the infection. For instance, a lung abscess can cause bad breath.
    Liver or kidney failure ,poor hygiene,
    psychological conditions, which may cause a person to think he or she has a foul body odor when none exists.

    Tooth or oral conditions, such as cavities, periodontal disease, which is disease around a tooth, or gingivitis, which is inflammation of the gums.

    These are common causes of European bad breath.

    Tumors or cancer, which may cause an odor in the area of the tumor. For instance, tumors of the mouth or stomach may cause bad breath. Cancer of the cervix or uterus may cause a discharge from the ****** that has a certain odor to it.
    Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, or diabetes, a condition that causes increased blood sugar levels may do this as well.

    Hope that helps. :)
