    Most people with BO say that.

    I know a guy who didn’t believe he had BO, and if you were standing next to him you wouldn’t notice either. But walk behind him, and suddenly you noticed an awful BO coming off of him.

    Always ask someone else if you smell, it’s not always noticeable to yourself.

        Maybe she’s used to it. Maybe it’s not that bad to her. Or maybe she just thinks it’s impolite to point it out.

        Maybe you’re right and you really don’t smell much. But most cases I’ve seen actually did smell.
