It could also just be survivorship bias - the girls who found you repulsive never became your girlfriend in the first place to comment on your scent.
No you should read the article. The effect of eating meat on odour has been researched.
A lot of the vegans I know (a lot! I live in boulder) have a carb heavy diet.
Any way. The point isn't even about diet because diet is just one factor in body scent.
In 4-Hour Chef, Tim Ferris mentions eating steaks from grass-fed cows… He became almost magnetic for women.
> Another study of adult men from 2006 by Havlíček's team can offer insights about whether meat makes us more attractive. The scientists looked at 30 men who were either eating a meat or non-meat diet for two weeks. Women rated their scent for their pleasantness, attractiveness, masculinity and intensity. The odour of the men on meat-free diets was on average rated as more attractive, more pleasant and less intense.…

I've definitely had stressful days at work where I don't recall any feeling of being too warm, but I find my armpits, especially on my dominate arm, has a very rancid sweat smell that's different than if I were outside on a hot day or exercising.
Yes that’s exactly how I would characterize it

Sweating releases whatever is in your sweat glands - which builds up. If you sweat a lot really fast, it even ‘washes’ them out in a sense. Sweat glands are under the skin, and a shower doesn’t touch them.
I've heard anecdotes that some athletes find they don't even need deodorant because they sweat so much during practice that it's nearly odorless.
If they get cleaned up after their workouts, then yeah they probably don’t need it so much when actually working out.
Sitting in the cab/at home afterwards though will get a bit rank without it.

…and vegetarians, and pescatarians…
The article goes on to say:
"Fish and beans, for instance, can cause body odour because they're filled with trimethylamine, a very strong-smelling compound. There's even a health condition, called trimethylaminuria – also known as "fish odour syndrome" – which arises when the body can't turn trimethylamine into a non-smelly compound, says Beeson. "This can lead to a strong body odour," she says"
All of my girlfriends have mentioned being attracted to my scent. I always assumed it was a combination of pheromones and a vegan diet.
Women sense your power, and they seek the life essence.
