i fall in love with a guy

but there are two things, one is he's never been to school more than elementary and second is he doesn't smell like he's bathing very often.
but he knows so many things about nature and he communicates so beautifully with his eyes and movement, and he laughs like a child and makes me feel like a child too, and well i don't know what to do with that.
i'm educated which create some distance as the subjects we can communicate get specific, though with everybody the subjects are specific anyways. I totally do not want to hurt him so i think i will try and keep some distance.
but he's so beautiful in so many ways.
i just wanted to share this little story.

So you love a guy who stinks and is uneducated. Thanks for sharing that. ;-) ;-) You have set the bar pretty low for who you can and will fall in love with.

@anythingoes477 The stinky part reminds me of Saturday Night Live skit.

@anythingoes477 it's his eyes! and not only, i think even if i'd close my eyes there'd be something strong there. i'll be careful anyways, i'll try to

next episode "i gifted him a soap" 😂
..excuse me if my sense of humour doesn't match much the tone of my story 🌿

@elafina There are soaps that are gentler on the skin and maybe unscented too...goat milk soap is one. I have some that a lady made and gave me but it doesn’t suds up like other types...I like Castile soap made with coconut oil.

@cherokeepatti thank you dear, you're so sweet:)

@elafina I didn’t mean to offend you with what I wrote. I have worked with several people who’s body odor could gag a maggot. So I don’t have any tolerance for those who don’t care to clean up before coming to work.

you didn't offend me at all. i am having some difficulty accepting that too, as i'm someone who showers often and takes care of personal hygiene too, but as i've met people who shower always twice a day and wear deodorant and perfume and make up and body lotion and lip balm, eye creams, nail creams, hand creams, feet creams, etc, and you know
i mean there are people who consider me to be dirty too as i am thinking about him, but from a different scale, that is all i know. I wash my hair once in three days and there are girls and guys going eww on that.
But apart from all these, i have to agree that there are some standards and a daily shower, at least the hot months, is amongst them.

@elafina some people can get by with skipping a day or two washing their hair, no problem if their hair isn’t really oil...it’s the sweat glands and bacteria on the body that creates the odor. And just basic hygiene to clean up. I have a problem wearing most perfumes so it’s rare that I wear any, and I don’t get manicures & wear fingernail polish, have problems with chemicals like those. Just basic hygiene is good.
