Re: Smelly people

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, aside from medical conditions, some people just aren't great at personal hygiene and it's more common than a lot of people realize. I once dated a guy who just... didn't brush his teeth. It's not like his breath stank all the time, but it could be rather strong in the morning. I was too embarrassed to confront him about it at first and I made really sure that he really wasn't doing it by (and this is low of me, I'll admit) checking his toothbrush regularly. It was never wet.

At some point, I just declined to kiss him in the morning and straight up asked him if he brushed his teeth regularly. He was kind of embarrassed and admitted he didn't. No reason, he just didn't do it because he'd forget. (!!!) I told him he needed to start brushing daily, because he had unpleasant morning breath. He did start, though I had to remind him to do it every night for weeks and weeks before he did consistently on his own. He was meh in other areas of personal hygiene as well and would correct that... but only when I confronted him, bluntly told him that being smelly/dirty wasn't acceptable and I wouldn't allow ANY physical interaction if he smelled.

We eventually broke up because jfc, how can you reach adulthood and not figure those things out for yourself? He always had excuses, of course. He forgot, he didn't really think he sweated much that day so no need to shower, he meant to but got distracted, he never learned as a child. Fuck that noise. When I date a man, I want a partner, not an overgrown toddler who needs to be taught basic adult skills.

"I never learned as a child" is such a lazy excuse. I never learned to cook or drive a car as a child, but yet!

nayrt

I'm mixed on that phrase "I never learned as a child." On the one hand... you can certainly learn as an adult. On the other... that tells me this person was neglected as a child, and when you don't learn about self-care in childhood, or nobody teaches you that it's a basic way to value oneself, the struggle is real. So I wouldn't write it off as simply being lazy.

Don't get me wrong, I also wouldn't get with somebody who never brushes their teeth, because it is still their responsibility to learn what they didn't as a child, and I'm not their parent. I'm just saying I can understand why somebody might have difficulties when it comes to self-care/hygiene when it stems from a poor upbringing.

Laziness doesn't exist.
