Do you use deoderant? (lemmy.ml)

I don't use deoderant; I don't feel the difference and I never really cared much about my smell; but my parent keeps bringing it up and it's annoying.

Also, what's wrong with smell? Human smells differ anyway.

Smelling nice or even neutral isn't something to benefit you, its so everyone else doesn't have to experience disgusting and gross smells in public. Your parents are trying to help you not be rude to them and other people, listen to them.

Exactly what I was going to point out. You might not mind your own smell, but other certainly will, and deodorant can be a good way to mitigate that problem.
