Do you think most men could get away with not wearing deodorant if they wanted to?

| No. Men do care about not smelling. |

| I think I could (and often do) get away with not wearing it. Been married 30 years and my wife will tell you I just don’t smell. I exercise regularly and often take two showers a day during the warmer months. |

No.
I worked in South Asia for a few years. Many local people do not wear deodorant. I will never forget the overpowering reek of BO in shops and on streets. If I ever had any doubts that deodorant worked, these were firmly quashed after living among people who didn't wear deodorant. Deodorant works and there is a reason we use it. |

| I’m white and never use deodorant, I shower 2x a day and immediately after working out. Never had any complaints even from people who aren’t afraid to be brutally honest with me |

| My husband never gets out funk. Ever. And he works out hard, works in the yard. He rarely uses do. Other family members of his are similar—my sons- 18 & 16 no way in hell they reek if they don’t use deodorant, and the natural deo isn’t enough for them either. |

| My son is 17 nearly 18 and refuses to wear it. It means that by the end of a hot day he literally smells like a horse. |
