    Ok, you’re just neutral enough that you can’t smell yourself. You still smell terrible to other people.

    This doesn’t change the argument.

      That’s beside the point. If you only care about your hygiene because of others, you’re neglecting your own comfort. I’m not wearing deodorant, for example, because I don’t want to. I’m still not smelly in the negative sense (yes I asked), because I take showers regularly - and I take showers regularly because I care about my own body

        There is always going to be a difference between what you find acceptable for yourself and what others do. Societal and others’ expectations can never perfectly confirm to individual desires.
