Deodorant: Yes or No?

Just wear the deodorant. It doesn't "help you in the game", it makes you an adult with hygiene.

My roommate in the dorms freshman year didn't wear deodorant. He sprayed BOD on the outside of his shirt and called it good. He smelled like a Jr High locker room with the mix of body odor and axe knockoff. He thought the funk in the room was coming from me...

Just because you can't smell it, doesn't mean you don't stink.

I know a few people like you. They have never worn deodorant, and for the most part it seems to work out fine. One of them is one of my best friends ever, and it's not generally an issue.

However.

We can tell. While it certainly doesn't preclude us from being good friends with her, the natural body odor is certainly noticeable and ultimately off-putting to close or intimate interactions with her.

You've been fine so far, but I'm guessing that you probably haven't been seriously working on seducing women. And trust me when I say that although I've been complimented by women on both my natural body odor and my deodorant, the deodorant has not only received the lion's share of compliments, but also one-hundred percent of accompanying IOIs. Old Spice is a great, clean, attractive-but-not-too-noticeable scent: you should wear it consistently.

TLDR: wear the deodorant

I've actually received a fair amount of compliments from the women because of deodorant, funny enough, after putting on Old Spice. Besides, the sense of smell has been proven to be the most mentally stimulating sense.

What is this i dont even... yes wearing old spice will make you that old spice guy instantly. Thats what the ads tell me anyways and they are never misleading.

If you have a problem wearing deodorant because you don't believe in the nasty chemical shit or the industrial process or whatever, you can get solid deodorant blocks from Lush cosmetics.

It works better than spray deodorant, which is designed to be inefficient so that you keep buying the shit. My pits used to smell really bad after 8 hours with the spray stuff (lynx, insignia, etc.) but since I started wearing the solid stuff from lush, I can go actually a full 24 hours and I still smell pretty fresh. And because it's not an overpowering odour, you can wear whatever aftershave you want on top.

We are all largely being conned by Big-Pharma and the manufacturing concept of planned obsolescence.

But yeh, I've had positive comments on the lush stuff from a few women. One of them was a totally beautiful model. Need I say more?

edit: P.S. Old Spice? What is this, the 1950s?

Wear it for hygiene
It smells good! Ladies will compliment if you're close to each other

I don't really get BO, and no one has called me out for not wearing it

First, you do get BO. You just don't notice your own smell because you live with it. Second, it is a rare friend that will call out his mate for bad hygiene. Bad breath, BO, stink ass and other embarrassing hygiene issues are often never mentioned to the offender but they are usually joked about behind their back.

It costs almost nothing to buy, takes less than 10 seconds to put on once you jump out of the shower and will ensure you aren't stinking. Brush your teeth, wash your ass and put on deodorant. This is basic stuff.
