    Re: Summer dancing

    Well this is a tricky question for me.

    I'm a congenital anosmic, I was born without any sense of smell what so ever. However, just because I can't smell doesn't mean I don't smell (if you follow)

    I made the mistake of going dancing in my work clothes last night and I have to say I was.. erm.. "moist" to say the least. I did have a shower before I left but I can't imagine I'd be awfully fresh by the end of the night.

    As I've no frame of reference I've been told that "new sweat" doesn't smell it's only "stale sweat"? I am probably wrong in this assumption. Next week though if it's going to be as hot again I'll be taking a spray of deoderant and a change (or more than one) of T-Shirts. I saw a lot of blokes changing their shirts last night.. As I can't tell if I'm smelly I do get a bit paranoid about this..

    As per Lory's suggestion on the other thread - find a "BO buddy" - someone you trust to be honest with you, who you know well enough to allow them to have a quick sniff, and who is able to use the same bathroom facilities without eyebrows being raised (I'm not getting into the sex/gender argument AGAIN). I know Lory was joking. But it's actually quite useful!

    And if someone smells, tell them. I've done this with completely unknown men. You don't have to make a big deal of it - just tell them quietly and politely. I would much rather know - even then I would wonder how long people have been avoiding dancing with me/bitching about my "fragrance" behind my back

    I hope I never get nastily niffy. But I'm sorry to say that I do get damp. Dancing is physical exercise, it kind of goes with the territory IMO. Unless a lead is really dripping and is being inconsiderate with their moves (slo combs ) then I'd let it be - and if I'm asked to dance before having a chance to dry off, I hope others would cut me some slack when I'm a bit sweaty as well

    Lory recommended DriClor to stop sweating. It's great stuff and works, but I have found it KILLS my skin. And it tends to leak once opened Arrid cream takes a couple of days longer to take a long-term effect and is a bit stickier, but seems to be a bit kinder to the skin and is more portable!

    BTW, Stevenage (also Ceroc Metro) supplies deodorants too

    As does Muswell Hill - definitely not CerocMetro.

    Beowulf - I would expect your precautions to be more than adequate to keep you smelling sweet If you're worried, ask a good friend to let you know if you need to freshen up a bit.

    Another tip for the guys, or even the girls actually. Saw a guy last night wearing chino style trousers, and he had a HUGE sweat patch all down the back of them! Am sure he probably didn't smell at all, but am afraid that the "I've wet myself" look ain't a good one
