I have a lap cat so I get lots of cat-in-lap time 🐱

  • My ABCC11 gene is in it’s recessive AA form.

    Which is more common in Asians, but I am European. This means my earwax is almost white and completely dry, which makes it just crumble/flake out. But more importantly, my sweat is almost odourless. I am a bigger dude and sweat a lot as it is. When I used to take a certain medication that made me sweat insane amounts I would literally be wet above the belt when I walked a minute. No stank. I check regularly and have my partner check my smell but I legit have to shower more often because my hair is greasy than because of body odour. When I had super short hair the thing that made me want to shower is when my skin gets oily, which happens after about five days. I still shower every other day because hygiene, but it’s a really nice perk.

    Don’t be too jealous though, nature balanced that out with heaps of mental health issues.

      My mom had this and also no leg hair. She told me “I shaved it once and that worked, it never came back”. Not Asian as far as I know but part Native American or Mexican, she never found out because her dad was so estranged from his family.
