Why do fat people smell??

Ugh I know a girl like that. It's usually with really obese people, not just regular fat people. It's because sweat & bacteria gets caught in their rolls. Not all fat people smell like that, but if they don't take good care of themselves and are prone to sweating.ooh and don't let it be hot outside! they are going to stink

Well, anyone can smell bad if you don't take care of yourself. I know lots of skinny people who smell bad and then I also know "fat" people that smell bad. It's all about hygiene. I guess people who smell bad don't really give a crap about themselves.

Fat people don't smell any more than skinny people do. o_0

This person in particular might have some sort of BO problem, but it's hard to tell what just from this information.

i don't think that you can say that all fat people smell. I got to know fatter people who smelled and some who didn't.

but I think a main reason why fatter people smell is because they start to sweat earlier than skinnier people do

from what you wrote I guess you already told her that she smells, so I think she should take more showers and take a deodorant with her

SHE is not taking care of herself! Not all people smell - or fat in your case - she must not know how to take care of herself! So stop judging and go out with a girl or a fat girl in your case but you call them plus size with good hygiene!

A better question is why does SHE smell. All fat people don't smell just like all black people can't dance or all blond co-eds aren't promiscuous. I have known plenty of skinny people who have smelled to high heaven and plenty of obese people who've smelled great.

It's a very personal issue and probably has to do with low self esteem.

You haven't mentioned how you have dated millions of fat people to which you have come up with this generalization, it's just this one girl. Buy her a bath kit and wash her. Make it sensual and she won't know what your real intentions are.

I've had to do this before.lol

Good luck!

Well I suppose they are more prone to overheating and sweating, which would explain the BO. There might be a better answer though.

I don't know if this helps any but sometimes when someone eats a lot of something day in and day out - something potent like garlic - then when they sweat or perspire you may be able to smell it on them. But someone who seems to be sweating out a garlic B.O.(or something relevant) is way worse than someone who doesn't.

And the other two things that comes to mind is that if you're a smoker and you sweat you have a different B.O. than someone who doesn't. And the other one is if she has a pet that doesn't have too great an odor and she pets the animal a lot and the smell carries over. Like, if her dog needs a bath, then she can take as many showers as she wants but every time she pets the dog you have a good chance to smell a lingering odor. And then to add in perspiration on top of it - would make it worse.
