I don't know what it is, but my deoderant really seems to make women attracted to me. Strange I know, but since this is happening should I stop wearing deoderant?

You realize every man reading your thread wants to know what you're using. If you say Secret Xtra Dry, I'm going to choke your neck.

Christian deordrant is fine. Avoid secular fragrances. No offense but that should be obvious? Are you a troll? A fragrance troll? I buy my underarm accessories from biblically based manufacturers after I have weighed my intentions in deep prayer.

Ya, definitely stop wearing deodorant. You certainly wouldn't want women to be attracted to you. Just imagine what could happen... no, wait... better not imagine anything. Just stop wearing deodorant. Hurry! There's no time to waste!!!

Are you mocking me? You think this is funny do you? I'm casting the demon of demonic deodorant out in a few seconds. We will see who has the last giggle, won't we.

I am almost certain that you should only wear deodorant if you scrub with steel wool first. But yeah, keep up with the deodorant.

It may not be just the deodorant; there may be some good things about you that attract certain ones. Each woman is unique; so each one will have a different personality and ways of being attracted. Let each one speak for herself ! ! :)

Have a little adventure, by not trying to make them all alike, and love each one, take an interest in each one, and discover each one. Because Jesus wants us to love everyone.

I have never had a major problem with women being attracted to me; so . . . :) lololololol

And I have used deodorant, and I have just made an extra effort to wash :)

Either way . . . :cry:;)

:) But with praying and just being more careful to wash I have not needed deodorant, as far as my nose can tell. And with praying and being sweeter with everyone I have gotten with a lady :)

So, I would say it's not important if women are attracted to you, but what you use to attract a really Christian lady. I would say just be prayerful and humble and honest with God, and this can help you to sort out and connect with a Jesus lady.

People were drawn to Jesus for the wrong reasons, and He would tell them they need to seek first the kingdom of God.

There are fragrance free deodorants. I use one called "Bats Mild" - not sure if it can be bought in USA, though. Even though it's fragrance free, it removes the bad odour for a day.

It would be sad if people thought bad of us as Christians because we smell bad, wouldn't it? That they think Christians don't care about others then, as they don't care about their hygiene which can affect others around us.
Even worse if you would evangelize to someone while having bad hygiene. How sad wouldn't it be if they'd be distracted or such by one's bad hygiene?

I don't want to smell like the world by using perfumes etc. I want to be separate unto the Lord in this area. It can even cause harm to people if they're allergic or feel sick in some way by the perfume smell. Personally, I can feel bad if people around me have too much cosmetics or too much perfume, or maybe even just a bit. It makes it harder to get air when breathing.

Lol....
Do a test case...
Stop bathing for a week or so and don't use deodorant and
then see what happens....

Seriously.... What are you saying to these women?
Are you sharing Jesus Christ with them?
Are you using these opportunities to be Christlike?

The problem isn't that women talk to you but what comes out of your
heart when they do approach you....

No- you shouldn't. We should totally go back to what those pagan Romans once did. They sold the sweat of famous gladiators to their female fans. Ooh-la-la. It was considered a major aphrodisiac. Your Axe or Old Spice ain't got nothing on that.
