If you meet Poles that smells bad it's generally the older generation (60+). Maybe it was another hygiene culture back then.

Not so much culture as a different living conditions. Those ppl grew up mostly without indoor plumbing.

I think it pertains to other ethnicities too. Last time I voted, the polling place was located within a local Senior Citizen center. I nearly passed out from some of the older people's bad body odor, along with their over abundance of smelly cologne.

Never heard of that. There was soap on coupons in the 80s though.

Never heard of that.

It didn't exist, it's just me laughing at the thought of a former, soap-dodging "hygiene culture" in Poland.

Like the Corded Ware culture without soap dishes :D

Polish women should wash themselves more often.But sometimes natural is indeed better.Makes more horny.

The right man has to smell as they say in czech land.I am doing my balkan contribution.Just kidding.
However ukr girls are even more dirty than polish girls.But they use so heavy perfumes(like russian girls) that you get stank inside almost suffocating and we know where that leads.

Generally speaking North American hygiene standards are higher than European. Sorry to say but the French are the worst offenders, especially household upkeep).

Evidence?

Nonsense. Unless you are going to perform surgery in your basement you don't need extra strong antiseptic soap. Regular one will do. Those strong ones have an alcohol in them and they are drying your skin.

That's what I used to say until I took Microbiology at the university level and put this very subject matter to the test. I saw the bacterial difference with my very own eyes.

Especially among Hispanics and Blacks.

Life experience: I've been to many homes in Europe (in 6 countries) and again in many homes in the USA and in Canada. Plus I talked to competent ppl.

You'd have to sterilize your hands to be completely germs free and there is no need for that. Over-sterilizing is not healthy either: not every bacteria is going to kill you anyway.

Especially among Hispanics and Blacks.

I don't need to put someone down to feel better about myself. You evidently do. Pity.
