“so L for them” im such a calm and polite voice made me laugh for some reason

I have definitely smelled strong body odor on Japanese trains, so I'm skeptical of this claim.

[HM-mwcg]

My friend who lives in Japan said he hates the summers coz ppl on the train in Tokyo smell. Wasn’t so bad the times I visited but still…probably bad if they think there ain’t a problem when there actually is for a sizeable minority lol

That's why the puberty advice of deoderant always confused me so much. I was like, is that just a preventative measure?

[julioferr]

Idk man seems like pop science I was a teacher in taiwan and mfs def smelled

[filewhereareyou]

I have to dispute this claim abt body odor on Asian people. The food odors come out of the pores on human beings. Maybe I have super olfactory senses, but I smell the fermented foods and spices.

the enzyme is ALDH2 and it acts on acetaldehyde, the first breakdown product of ethanol.

My dad has dry earwax and no smell. Jealous as I did not inherit that

[voice_of_Riku]

My dad also has no body odor.. but i ve terribly, tht i always ve to use perfumes 😭

[lunix]

SE Asians loove that they have similarities in appearance, culture and history. I met so many friends online that were happy when they realise there's many words that are written the same but means different

[angnimay]

I've been in North America for years, I don't recall anyone having smells either. Is the body odor really an existing thing?🤔

[pandamilkshake]

Fun fact: You can achieve the same thing by going to a clinic and injecting botox in your armpits. It completely stops body odour for up to 6 months at a time without stopping sweat, which means that your body can regulate temperature normally but without the stench.

[rubaa.]

That's odd because there's a distinct odour that I can smell of East Asian men. I don't know what it is, but it sounds like a body odour.

[antman.XD]

Cap 🧢 them Japanese trains be musky sometimes.

[airchildsage]

how can i add this genetic mutation to my real-life avatar?

[HaiDude-yhwv]

😂 pickled radish that sounds nice. Wet ear wax is good also so its not all bad.

[XcqOl]

I’ll never get tired of listening to this person talk what a calming voice

[Kyuujino]

I'm half Japanese and I'm 100% look like Japanese but one thing is different my hair color is naturally light brown

[ninjakeks]

Funny! I told this fact to my boyfriend just yesterday and wondered if the lacking enzyme for alcohol is somehow related to the bacteria that makes you stink like sweat.

[ricardog]

That does not sound right to me. I met several people from those countries. They def had their own smells.

I was invited to one of their homes. Their home had their smell aswell. Nothing overpowering but smell nonetheless.
