How old are you?

How much do you weigh?

Do you drink, if so how much?

Do you smoke?

What does your general diet consist of?

Nope. The OP refers to his wife's hesistancy to kiss, so, the subject is personal hygiene in general, not just body odor.

 

While I understand that this may be your first time to participate in a forum discussion or, possibly, any other type of human interaction, I can assure you that it is quite normal for a conversation, as it progresses, to evolve and flow into adjacent areas. If you would like to take us in the direction of reducing anal and pubic odor, I cannot see that as being anything other than appropriate and useful to the OP.

 

"Nope. The OP refers to his wife's hesitancy to kiss, so, the subject is personal hygiene in general, not just body odor."

 

Well as you are a proponent of heavy flossing perhaps too much has affected your eyesight. Go back to the OP's post and read it again. Kissing was only a secondary issue the primary being his body odour. Anyway as he said he disliked chemicals on his body, or at least that was his excuse , soap and water also appears out of favour with him.

Couple of things.      I wouldn't call the  OP's wife necessarily  being insulting to him.    I'd call it more of an observation comment.

When have you ever heard any Thai say something disparaging to the face of another Thai.

Thais generally avoid insulting one another at any cost, because a Thai husband would beat her unconscious (or to death) for saying something like that to him.

 

I despise the way white men hate and put down other white men.

Which is why I generally avoid contact with other white foreigners.

I sweat easy always make sure i got some cologne ready take it with me in a small spray on if i go out for a long time. Shower myself 2-3 times a day. Not sweating much from the arm pits or anything like that just full body if im out in the sun. No such problems in the nicely aircondintioned malls.

 

In the gym i sweat so much i consume around 1.8l (size of my bottle) of water with some electrolytes. 

 

If you know you sweat a lot or smell bad its not that hard to get cologne or take a fresh t shirt with you just in case. 

Nothing worse than the smell of BO & cologne mixed together!    LOL

My wife thinks its revolting and is complaining a lot.

The problem is not your wife's - its yours! So be aware of the choices you have:

1) Learn proper hygiene. A bath and some roll-on may save your marriage but I suspect there are other issues you need to resolve as well.

2) Live alone.

3) Find a wife who will tolerate horrific odors. 

 

Respectfully, Dear Abby

I guess he could send his wife out to one of the places where Covid is prevalent, hoping she catches it and loses her sense of smell.    555

Charliechoc, I agree with you about putting toxic chemicals under my/your arm pits or any where else on your body. Your/our skin is the largest organ of our body and when toxin's are on your skin transdermal penetration transfers those toxins into your blood stream.

What I do is use flower essence oils you can buy readily over here. I use mallee ( jasmine ) and that fits the bill for no BO. Oil of a flower. Pick one that doesn't make you smell like a lady boy though. LOL.

Try "Alum", dirt cheap, natural, odorless and working ...... Your wife certainly knows where to get it - the Thai word would be "สารส้ม". Available at any online shop and they come in handy user packaging. Search for "โรลออนสารส้ม grace" and there you go.

And to avoid extra shopping there is that old invention called soap and water, OP should try it sometime, very often if he is a profuse sweater, works wonders.

Excel, if you are going to be this pedantic, I might as well be talking to an actual spreadsheet.

My eyesight is fine. In under 100 words, and just 3 paragraphs, the OP explained his situation. He mentioned a few things. He did not number, stack, rank, or otherwise prioritize his concerns. We can intuit the central thrust of his worry is that is wife finds him distasteful, and has refered to both his BO and his bad breath. As Britman has already pointed out, her actual problem might simply be that she is generally unhappy with him.

It is you who has deliberately mischaracterized his situation, suggesting that he does not shower when, in fact, he has said that he already showers twice a day and will now try showering three times per day.

 

 

When I first met my wife, we were having a conversation over dinner and I needed to break wind badly, however I thought it would be embarrassing if I let one rip on our first date, then I said to myself, you know what, what's the worst thing that can happen, e.g. I might not see here again, but I felt comfortable with this girl, so I asked her to pull my middle finger, she looked a little confused and I said you have to pull it hard and she did, then she couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes, actually wet her pants.

 

We married 4 months later, true story, that was 15 years ago.

 

She has been letting them rip ever since, but I have always refused to pull her middle finger after her first one ????

Yep you should talk to a spreadsheet, because clearly human interaction is beyond your comprehension. Now have a nice day and happy flossing.

I feel sorry for your wife ..

He needs a third party  to give him an honest assessment.

 

We all certainly do. I used to go for a regular sauna on a Friday evening back in the UK due to having a dirty daytime job. Dunno why but Asian men also seemed to like going on a Friday also. Their body odor absolutely reeks and isn't for the faint hearted. I can only conclude that it was down to their spicy food intake.

I'm the same way. I thought you and anyone else who perspires heavily might appreciate this story. About 6 months ago, I noticed that I was perspiring a lot less than I normally do, and at first I thought this was great and it really was. But then I started to notice that I was having to get up 4-5 times a night to use the bathroom. This went on for about a month. Then, just as suddenly, things went back to normal. I started sweating again, but I was sleeping like a baby, no more nighttime trips to the bathroom. I was like: 'welcome back hyper hidrosis, my old friend!!!!' Let me tell you, if I ever had to choose between getting up constantly in the middle of the night to pee or sweating during the day, no question I would chose the latter. So my message to anyone who sweats a lot is: don't let it get you down, it might just be a blessing in disguise!

why don't you take regular showers for a change? quite a few people do that

TROLL ALERT, unless it's the French Charly from Chalong on Phuket. he definitely stinks.

Bit o' Baking Soda – (sodium bicarbonate) – massaged into your "sweaty parts" 

part way through showering is well worth a try. 

  

Try "LUSH The Greeench" powder. Amazing stuff. Developed in the U.K., manufactured in Japan, if I remember correctly. There are LUSH shops in some of the Terminal 21 shopping centres, otherwise you can order it online,

see https://th.lush.com/products/greeench

 

This site certainly is not cheap deodorant powder+postage+vat= ฿635 (£16 !!!)

I think she is just being picky, she doesn't like mine either.

Suggest 2 or 3 Showers a day !!!

This thread will have to be closed soon before anyone kicks up a stink about it ????

 Get an Alum stick from any 7/11, Tesco Express or basically almost any store, very cheap, very effective, after showering, before you dry yourself, rub under arms then dry yourself as normal.

 

It's a natural product with no artificial scent, Voila, no BO.

 

As for your breath, clean your teeth more often. ????

Had a mate who was exactly the same......stunk like a feral goat!  Rarely showered, wouldnt use deodorant and looked like he had just dragged himself out of a vat of grease.  He was a teacher here and the kids complained, the school complained, the parents complained and the other teachers and coordinator would leave bars of soap and deodorant on his desk in protest.  But do you know what......everybody else was wrong...not him.  His wife (non Thai) never complained because she was exactly the same except the hair under her arms was longer.

oh it's you.

 

I thought it was my bin........

Stick to your guns, do as you wish.... your wife will eventually leave you for a sweet smelling man and your problem will be gone.

Even on an anonymous forum I would be too embarrassed to admit this.

 

I can honestly swear on my life, that I shower at least three times a day and my oral hygiene is bang up there with the best of them.

 

Brought up poor, but in a house where cleanliness is next to godliness.

 

I then went in the Royal Navy as a kid and it was exactly as how I had been brought up, so I was off to a good start.

yeah, personally believe this is a BS post just to drum up response - looks like it worked lol..

Sounds to me that you think being hygienic is unhealthy. 

 

It probably doesn't matter to you what we think on this forum - we don't have to live with it, but what about your wife? Her feelings and senses appear not to matter to you either?
