i hear they don't wipe their ass and don't wash their hands, or at best don't use soap.
the no soap usage i've seen firsthand here at work.
can you confirm the lack of ass wiping?

I think they use their left hand and wipe the poop off with a running stream of water.
 
I had a good friend in college from Germany who showered only occasionally. He said his natural body fluids attracted women. I thought he stunk, but Damn! he sure had no trouble scoring with women.
 
Indians from India are the worst, no one wears deodorant at all. We genetically sweat profusely too, well I do anyway.

But I was born in CA 🙂
 
What about fat people who have a hard time wiping their ass so they just go with a half hearted attempt and come out smelling o'naturale??
 
Some cultures do not believe in wearing deodorant.

Luckily I brought enough during my recent business trip to China. Strange thing is - they didn't have the typical bad smell that people normally have if they don't shower/wear deodorant. Can't say the same thing about the public bathrooms there - holy smell from the depths of hell... /puke
 
yup.

was at Niagra just over a week ago, smell like ass and smoke like chimneys in public and dont seem to mind blowing it in your face as you walk by

buncha stinky assholes!
 

American English (variously abbreviated AmE, AE, AmEng, USEng, en-US,[1] also known as United States English, or U.S. English) is a set of dialects of the English language used mostly in the United States. Approximately two-thirds of native speakers of English live in the United States.[2]

Nowhere is the language called "American". You can start calling it that when it has diverged enough that you can't speak with people from England, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and all the other countries where English is the primary language.
 
Americans don't realized they stink just as bad. They just got use to their smell - imagine a cheese and vinegar puke. To those air conditioners blasting out arctic air to keep odors at bay, I salute you!!!
 
for most people, you typically smell like what you eat a lot. Assuming you bath and your BO isn't overpowering. Some people naturally just stink more because they have more sebaceous glands than others. On top of that, every "race" from any given region has a distinct odor unto themselves even if they share similar diets. Not sure why, but my nose can tell.

Which means, everyone has a particular odor unto themselves. Part of that odor they share with others of the same race, region, and dietary habits. Even white Americans. Did you know many American soldiers were killed in Vietnam because of out odor? To the Vietnamese hiding in the jungle, most soldiers smelled like rotten hamburger and rancid milk. Considering that most white American soldiers ate plenty of beef, drank plenty of milk, and ate plenty of cheeseburgers then this is not unusual.

Also, peoples sense of smell because accustomed to what is around them often. Which is why you usually can't smell yourself unless you do something to change your odor. Even then, you can only smell what has changed out of the wide array of scents that everyone produces. This is why people that you associate with and have the same dietary and hygiene habits as you also smell fine. Your nose ignores them for having a similar smell.
