I used to think white people smelled like Doritos.

I'm not sure I agree with the darker skin necessarily equates to stronger scent. The Vietnamese girl I've been seeing for a long time now has almost no scent whatsoever (and what does exist is very sweet and subtle), and she's got pretty dark skin.

Not to single out G/S Rock in particular, but I am amused by posts that begin with a non-obvious assertion and then support it with a citation along the lines of "I heard that . . ."

Jogging.... and armpits! Pungent... but at the same time... alluring... I guess you'd call it a strong "musky" aroma. Hard to describe but I'll never forget that uniquely feminine redolence that seared my olfactory senses and permeated the very depths of my soul...

I will have to remember to use "I heard that" in all my briefs from now on -- it will save time looking up all those annoying citations and having to adhere to icky form books. Who knows, might eliminate footnotes entirely and thereby reduce law review staffs rather considerably.

As the resident expert on the topic, I'd have to say that no matter the race, the odor tastes the same.

I once heard that white people smell like goats, primarily because of the dairy we consume.

I'm sure there are other sources if one were so disinclined to believe something like this, which I don't find so hard to believe.


Thanks for the link...

"Koreans are among the least odor-producing people on Earth."

"Only about 10% of Japanese people have any underarm odor at all."

Looks like my hypothesis was correct...

If you want to experience for yourself what Indians Smell like. Just come over for a visit.

Words can't discribe it. There should be a policy against people smelling bad in the workplace, especially an Embassy...I know the scarcity of water and all, with a Billion people populating this continent but... DAMN!.

Can't wait to leave this Arm-pit of a country..

From my experience with girls, i find white BO smell like rotten mash potato. Black BO smell like KFC. I don't have much experience with Latinos .. Asian BO are rare, but with Flips, they smell like bad beef pot pie.
