I had a gheeaboo friend for a while. She used to wear sari (whitest whitey white girl), would only date Indian guys, etc. One week in India and she renounced it all because she was so grossed out by how men behaved towards her. Kind of a shame, but also kind of a relief.

What's the deal with all the armpit and body odor fetishism? It seems very primal. Do people in India not wear deodorant/antiperspirant? Do stores there not sell it? Is it too expensive for the poor to afford? Or is it a cultural choice to go without?

Why are the smelly women the fetishized ones?

If I went to India and ran out of deodorant, would I be able to buy it there? Would I be considered weird for not stinking? No deodorant in a humid tropical environment is such a bad idea.

I have met a few people into armpit stank. All of them were gay dudes. I don't know if there's a correlation.

My parents lived in Abu Dhabi for ten years. There are huge Indian and Pakistani populations there, and many of the men really reek of B.O., seemingly regardless of what they do (blue collar vs. white collar, I mean.) I don't know about India, but you can buy deodorant anywhere in the UAE, so maybe it's cultural?

A few reasons some Indians may not be wearing Deodorant

They are Swedesi and dont want to consume western brands.
These folks may be waiting for a swadesi brand; e.g Baba Ramdev’s pantanjali‎ deodorant

Can’t afford Deodorant
Can you really expect those living on minimum wage to spend ₹s on a Deo?

Might think that their BO attracts the opposite sex.

LOL. You can buy "body deo" in most markets, which is basically AXE but sometimes with Triclosan in it (which helps, but burns the skin and is a carcinogen). You can buy AXE, too. Mostly it is just scent. The prices range from about 50 cents to a buck or two USD per can. Some supermarkets will sell actual deodorant sticks, all antiperspirant. Those cost a lot more. The average Indian in and out of the city does not make that much money where they are going to continuously throw their earnings on smelling totally pleasant all the time. It's not a matter of ignorance, it is simply a matter of "This is a product that we never knew we needed until foreign companies started advertising here and telling us we smelled bad, or we will get ladies by smelling better." People there, outside of educated Indians that want to be more Western, don't give a poo poo. When a can of deodorant costs the price 3-5 days of meals, what are you going to do? I don't know a good conversion, but if the average price of deodorant in the US/CAN/AUS was $20-30, how many people would just say "gently caress it"?

Perfume goes back thousands of years there, but this whole "stop sweating completely and smelling like a human" thing is brand new (and recent all over the world, I might add), and doesn't make any sense when it's often over 90F/32C for part of the year in many places and air conditioning is not as common as you'd like. Sweating and stinking are natural, but some bodies are more prone to it than others. I live in China where they naturally don't get B.O. and they don't use deodorant, but they god drat stink for a variety of other reasons, all the time, every day, and it's offensive as hell to my North American sensibilities.
There's also a difference between the lifestyles. Some people have jobs or time where they bathe multiple times a day, and wear fresh clothes at the end of the day. They aren't going to smell that much because they wash the sweat off. People stuck in the 9-6 jobs, wearing the same clothes all day, sweating on the bus or outside, and then hanging out after work are going to smell worse.

When it's hot enough, deodorant doesn't work as well as you'd expect. When you sweat so hard that your clothes get those white salt lines on them when they dry.. good luck.

Also, when you live there, you honestly don't notice it. You adapt and it's barely a thing. The only times I ever thought "drat, that person loving stinks" was when I was on the train and this guy took his shoes off in the AC car and we were all trapped with that blowing around the room.

I take antiperspirant and deordoant to India when I visit.

It just doesn't work. The humidity is so high that even in the winter something that last all day in Canada works for about 2 hours there.

Most women there wear oil based perfumes since they don't evaporate. Since they're popular they're also cheap. Jasmine flowers are popular in the south especially since the heat makes them smell super finneeee.

I've got an Indian boyfriend and he feels uneasy about taking me to India (north part especially) because "there's so many creepy guys." Can't say I blame him. We get uncomfortable just going to nightclubs here because of all the thirsty Punjabi guys staring me down. I even had one pretty much hold me against a wall and beg me for five minutes to grind with him while I screamed "gently caress OFF" in his face the entire time.

There was also a Punjabi cab driver who hit on me for the entire ride. It was weird but I didn't think much of it until he found my Facebook account through a mutual friend half a year later and asked me to go out clubbing with him and sneak him into my house. Haha, no thanks.

Thank you, Haier. I appreciate your anthropology posts in this thread and the China one as well.

I suspected it was a poverty thing. I guess it's a lot like time traveling to the Old West. It's funny that B.O. fetishism is widespread there as a result.

What's drinking culture like in India? It's so socially conservative there, yet very influenced by the British, who drink a lot. Lots of local rum? Gin? Brandy? Cheap beer? Only on festivals or weddings? Another pleasure out of reach for the common folk due to price?

I wouldn't really say it is a poverty thing, just that it's recent, it's expensive, it's so hot sometimes that it's utterly useless, the options are all poo poo, and it the smell is something you don't notice that much when you actually live there. Sweating is a natural thing, and it can't be helped in hot times.

I don't drink, so I have no idea.

I am a dude, but India got me into the "male" oil perfumes (sandalwood, patchouli, and various musky-woodsy-citrus scents). All of them get compliments outside India except for patchouli, which I wear just annoy white people. I used to wear it on days when my manager would come in and she would hate it and ask me to change clothes and I'd tell her I can't change my skin, and it helped our awful relationship a lot by her completely avoiding me instead of bothering me.

Perhaps Haier or one of the other goons who have been to India can confirm/deny:
I had a friend who was the naturalist type who went through a Neem fixation; he would boast up and down about its "amazing cure all" abiities (it is apparently antiseptic, antifungal, and antipyretic) and how it completely absolved the need for the typical variety of hygiene products. While this dude didn't smell like BO, he absolutely reeked of Neem 24/7 so it was only slightly better. Neem is very popular outside of the Western world so it makes me wonder if there is simply an over-reliance on Neem?

It's mostly used for skin care. It really does help with acne if you use it as a facemask but it smells terrible and all of us should know that.

I was once paid 500 rupees by an uncle to just eat 4 leaves so yeah most if not all brown people try and avoid using it. They make pills for it which are mostly tasteless so most people just have those.

Use of neem is common in India. But what's more common and troubling is the overuse of antibiotics (actual medicine) which some people will take for literally anything.

Your friend was a giant moron. Most brown people use neem BASED things but if they use actual neem oil, will use it sparingly and wash off afterwards.

Tumeric is usually the thing that they use for everything. There's even a tumeric based ceremony during weddings.
