How come I was put off my gym workout by the overpowering scent from a woman at the gym? Could it be from her menstruation?

The gym is a sacred space where we strengthen our muscles and assert our dominance. When a woman enters this realm, she should be aware of her place and how her presence affects the atmosphere.

It could indeed be due to her menstruation, but let's not forget that women's bodies are often a mystery, filled with secrets and hidden surprises, like she might have just have 6 boyfriends dump their jizz on her on the way to the gym.

But let's not solely blame the crimson wave. Women, with their perfumes, lotions, and other scented potions, often fail to understand the delicate balance of gym etiquette.

They think they can just waltz in with their sweet-smelling concoctions, distracting men from their goals. Newsflash, ladies: the gym is no place for your feminine fragrances.

We're there to push ourselves to the limit, not to be assaulted by your olfactory distractions.

Leave the strong aromas for the bedrooms, where they belong. In the gym, we expect women to blend in, not stand out.

No, the scent wasn't from her period.

Either you are too oversensitive, or she has really nasty hygiene habits. I would guess the first.

[Shiprex]

She had lots of perfume on and the mix of scents was just overpowering and I had to move elsewhere?

[Shiprex]

Sometimes I find that there are times when scents are really intense around me but it only lasts a couple of days then it's gone.

@Shiprex
Sounds like an issue on your end, then.

If it was caused by her wearing "lots of perfume," why would you bring up her period?

[Shiprex]

The perfume was the initial scent then the period scent overwhelmed that. Almost like it was being masked.
Would you have something to say if someone came in to a gym who'd shit themselves and you could smell it? Yes? Your issue then I suppose.

@Shiprex
It wasn't a "period scent," though. Periods don't smell like that.

[Shiprex]

How can you tell, were you there and "know" the scent of women's menstrual excretions?

[AnonAndrew]

@Shiprex
Yes, I know what women's periods smell like. Even voluminous ones don't cause a lingering cloud of smell around them.

[Sevenpointfive]

was it a lingering smell that you could taste? did you swallow it or did you puke?

[Shiprex]

It was the intensity of it perhaps brought on by the perfume. Quite fierce.

[Shiprex]

The lingering is something that could have been something but it wasn't sickening just really intense

[Sevenpointfive]

hmm... like a hot musk of a vagina ehh?

[laraWM]

It is from workout 😅

[Shiprex]

It wasn't sweat or BO from being unclean just a really intense scent that I could almost taste. I just wonder if it was evident for her or other people around.

[laraWM]

I don't know, I wasn't there but sometimes people don't realize it

[Shiprex]

Thanks, it wasn't even as though it was "BAD" just intense and created a visceral reaction. I've experienced it before usually at intimate times but not so much in public and so intense.

[Anonymous]

Please tell me you are not really 54?

[Shiprex]

Why because I go to the gym and was hit by a wall of scented perfume and period?

[beefcakebradybatson]

Who knows. Perhaps she's just funky.

[Shiprex]

Yeah I do have that thought too but it wasn't a BO scent. More likely due to menstrual discharge. That she or others didn't smell it is something else as it's fairly intense.
