Yeah, in threads like these the people who react with "ew no the human body is disgusting, why aren't you constantly changing your clothing and dousing yourself with deoderants after your hourly showers?" Are saying more about themselves than about anyone else. As soon as I saw the title of this thread I knew there'd be a bunch of responses along those lines in here.
The world is a huge and diverse place, and the people in it are diverse as well. Some people are just stinkier than others. Some people are more sensitive to stinkiness than others. Some climates are more conducive to stinkiness. Some lifestyles are stinkier. Different socks hold smells differently. Some floors are worse than others. There's no "right" answer to this.
