I'm a trans woman so obviously a little different but Ive discovered I smell mostly the same whether I use deodorant or not so early this year I stopped. I usually shower at most every two or three days but sometimes won't shower for the better part of a week.
While I don't feel like I get more attention from men since quiting deodorant I've noticed the women are a lot more into me. Most recently a couple nights ago in Asheville at a Disco Biscuit after party I was aggressively getting hit on, danced on, grinded on, just pursued by this woman. I thought it was odd at one point when she ran her fingers through my armpit and sniffed them but maybe that was part of my sauce, idk. Never been told I was sexy by a stranger so many times in such a short period.
After all the increase in female attention I was getting this year I thought maybe women were just picking up on an increase in my confidence but I guess it could just be that I quit wearing deodorant. Would be on brand for Asheville.
