Have you ever been turned off by someone’s smell during a date? What happened?

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. Once men reach their late 30s, they really should properly maintain their oral hygiene at a dental clinic specializing in bad breath. That way, you can be right up close to a woman’s face, like in those fresh-breath commercials, without any unpleasant odor. It makes a world of difference. You start noticing the stress-related bad breath of a woman in her 20s the moment she gets into your car after having one of those “Today was the worst…” kind of days. As for a fishy odor down there, I’d say around 30–40% of club women have it. I’ve never been able to tell anyone directly. Even some who didn’t have any odor at the first meeting can have quite a strong smell later on. I assume it would go away if they washed thoroughly, but I can’t exactly tell them that—and it would be strange for me to wash them myself… I just have to do my best to keep my fingers as far from my nose as possible after touching her…

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. Women tend to be very conscious of etiquette, and many are considerate about making sure they don’t make the other person uncomfortable. So I think there are relatively few women whose smell is likely to bother someone. That said, there may be cases where someone wears too much perfume, making their scent noticeable in a different way. As for the smell down there, I don’t think many people would be able to point it out directly, so the person herself may often be unaware of it. On the other hand, I feel men often do things that inconvenience women, so they really should be more careful. But I think many men are rather careless about these things, which makes it difficult. Perhaps the question was actually about which aspects of men’s scent they should pay attention to. For that, we’d need to hear what the women have to say.

I’m Meg, a female member. Are you a woman, by any chance? Mac probably knows a lot about this, haha. You don’t really notice your own smell, after all (^_^;) If you’re going to get intimate, you should freshen up with a shower or something first. Especially the areas that receive the most attention. I also think it’s wonderful when a man is considerate enough to worry about himself and ask, “Are you okay? Do I smell?”
