So, I’m a male, turning 25 pretty soon. I deal with a moderate amount of underarm sweat, but here’s the thing: it doesn't actually have any smell at all. 🤔

Is that actually normal???

So, this elderly lady goes to see her doctor because she’s dealing with some major gas issues.
She tells him there’s absolutely no smell and no sound to it, just... nothing.
The doc just hands her some meds and tells her to come back in two weeks for a follow-up.

Fast forward to the follow-up visit—now she’s complaining about massive amounts of gas and an incredibly unpleasant stench.
And the doctor? He just shrugs and says, "Well, we sorted out the sinus issue, now let's see what we can do about your hearing."

To answer your question... no, that's definitely not normal. You should probably ask someone else if it smells—I bet you don't notice any scent from your own sweat, but I guarantee everyone else does. I'm thinking your sweat glands might just be working overtime...
Maybe this will help you out

I’m still sticking to my guns on this: you can definitely see the spots. But once they actually dry out, there isn't even a hint of a smell left. 😳

So, when it comes to how much you stink, I think it really just boils down to the individual, doesn't it? I'm pretty active myself—I usually hit the tennis courts for a solid two hours several times a week—and I've definitely noticed that what I eat has the biggest impact on how my sweat smells.

When I stick to a light diet full of fruit, veggies, pasta, rice, potatoes, and fish, my sweat is basically odorless, almost like water. But if I overdo it on the heavy stuff—you know, lots of pork, beef, roasts, stews, or sausages—well, I start smelling like people used to back in the day, during those old-school eras before deodorants were even a thing and everyone just accepted body odor as part of life. 🤦

I actually read somewhere that Napoleon used to insist that women be prepared for his parties only if they hadn't bathed for at least forty days, which just goes to show that what one person finds offensive, someone else might actually prefer. 😉

Look, here's my take. Even though I stick to a pretty healthy diet—which keeps my health in check, mostly—I still keep my meat intake pretty moderate. By that, I mean I mainly stick to chicken and pork. As for beef or lamb, 👎

I end up having such a neutral body odor that I don't even bother with deodorants 😁 since it's been proven they’re packed with carcinogens, heavy metals, and all sorts of nasty chemicals. 🙏

Are you just bragging about not smelling, or are you actually looking for advice on how to start?

Anyway, pork and chicken are a far cry from what most people call "healthy eating" (if we're even going to go there)

By the way, I constantly run into folks who claim they don't have any odor—and then go on to say that deodorant and soap are basically toxic—so it’s perfectly fine to wear the same clothes for a few days straight 😬

🤣 You can always just pretend you don't smell.
