Speaking of sweat, how can one keep it from turning your gi armpits green? It looks terrible

 

Well...I've never heard of these being GREEN, but maybe it's just the way the fabric reacts. Anyway, the armpits of white t-shirts turn yellow not directly because of the sweat, but because of the dryer, which burns the sweat and causes the fabric to turn yellow (or possibly green in your case). Solution: spray the pits of your clothes (and other sweaty areas) with a stain remover before you wash them. Apparently regular detergent doesn't quite do the job of getting all that pit-sweat out. Once the "burns" are there, however, I don't think there's much you can do to get them out again. There might be a few products on the market that claim to fix them, but I'm not familiar with those, and therefore can't comment.

 

As for the sweaty attractiveness thing...I've heard of that too, but it had nothing to do with "ugly" vs. "hot" men. I think it was on the discovery channel or the local news or something fairly reliable. It was a study, where several different women (5 or so) were presented with several samples of male sweat. Each woman took turns smelling the little vials...I don't remember if they were told it was sweat or not. Anyway, the women all had different reactions to the sweat. For a single sample, some said it smelled terrible, some said they couldn't smell anything at all, and some said it smelled wonderful...even reminded them of other scents which triggered happy memories. Now remember, every woman smelled the same sweat as the others, but reacted differently to the scent. I think they did some other tests into genes, etc. and found that the women who had positive reactions to the sweat smell were more likely to bear healthy children with the owner of that sweat. If they had a bad reaction, the two were not likely to have healthy pregnancies/children. Therefore, if a woman liked the way you smell when you sweat, you were meant to be together or something. At least, you'd be a good match. I'm pretty sure I've seen this on some online scientific journals, too.

 

However, this still doesn't constitute reason to not wear cologne/perfume, because there will always be those women (and men!) who smell nasty things coming from you! ;)

I just got this mango perfume... it smells so good. Mmm... mango...

 

It's sad, I've now bought everything that the Bodyshop puts out in a mango scent.

lol, me too! I love the Body Shop's mango range. Their body butter is gorgeous! :) I haven't really found anything that the Body Shop sells that I don't like, though. I'm a bit addicted to their products!

Bleh, I can't stand the smell of Old Spice. My dad used to wear it all the time... far too much of it, so I hate the smell now.
