i lived with my grandparents growing up and i always remember my grandma complaining about my grandpas room smelling (yes they have separate rooms hehe) anyways she would always go in there with a can of spray and light candles telling me "men have an odor about themselves". it never bothered me and although i noticed his room did smell different than hers i never found it offensive or anything.

ive been on T for a little over four months and have noticed that my room has that "man smell" now. im not quite sure how to explain it, its a little musky. i just started noticing it this past month. but anyways just wondering if any of you bros have noticed this.

I saw this topic, and it struck me as funny.

Please don't take offense, I just had to share the possible humor here.

1) Once you have been on T a while, you won't be able to smell that kind of thing.

2) Maybe that man-smell is just dirt, because you don't clean so much?

I've been on T for a year and I haven't noticed this. I know that my body odor is a little different, and I need to use deodorant a couple times a day now, but I haven't noticed any significant change in my smell. I just sweat more.

been on T for 18 days, and I have noticed a difference in my body odor, but nothing about my room yet lol.

hmm now i feel weird hehe. dont get me wrong i like the smell, its not bad or anything and nobody else seems to notice it but me but i would have liked to not feel like a complete nut case and was hoping at least one guy could validate this weird thing

Lady coworkers tell me I've begun smelling sweatier lately. I reacted like I was appalled, but I was assured it was a 'good sweaty'.

Needless to say I scrub Old Spice bodywash particularly hard into my skin every morning now, lol.

Maybe that's it? Sweatiness?

I don't know I've never really noticed a "man smell." That might just be a function of my being terrible with girls and therefore, not associating with them enough to notice. I do however have a stronger smell.

My smell changed, and therefore my room's smell changed. Not sweaty or dirty, just that "everyone has their own smell" smell. Normal baseline smell.

I think you'll find a room smells like you if you leave the door shut, you're the only one that spends time in there, and you share a house with other people (so there is another smell to contrast it).

Having had many many a male room mate....plus a brother. I know what you mean about the "man smell" guys rooms tend to have. It's not bad, it's just how it is. So you aren't crazy I guess if you were always around it, you wouldn't notice it as much.

I think everyone has their own smell's therefore their own bedroom smell, whether it's a guy or girl.

Yes. I was told by my best friend (transman) 's wife that my car smelled like "dude" and I laughed my ass off...it felt great to hear that. My best friend replied well...we're used to it. We don't smell it anymore.

Just as my body chemistry changed and I no longer produced man smell Sevan went and started transition so the place still smells like man....
Arrrggghh
not a good smell in my book

LMAO =]

my room has smelled like man for a couple years and I'm not even on T yet. i thought it's just because i almost never have my windows open and i never clean. plus my door is always shut if I'm in it but i don't know how i secrete a musky man smell in here without testosterone. haha it's awesome though.

Hormones do change how you smell, and how you detect scent.
Women spend a fortune on perfume guys can't smell, been known for ever. Guys buy after shave they hate the smell of but are conned into. If women like the perfume they buy, and most women use perfume, why would they like male after shave? Why do women wear perfume? To make them smell different to another woman.

If you can. and please don't gross your selves or worse. Go into a male toilet and a female toilet, ignore the sanitary habits, which are equally as gross, but sniff. The smell is totally different.

I've always lived with guys since I left my parents when I was 16. I like their man smell, helps cover up the awful girl smell. Hopefully in a few weeks I won't have to worry about that anymore (my piss already smells less offensive, thank God). But I wouldn't notice a change in the smell of the room, I don't think.

not really, but my room is almost completely open to the living room [double doors that don't so much close.  I also have a cat living in my room.  My room generally smells like fresh air [always have the windows open and a fan] cat, or weed.

I know this is a guy thread but I noticed somthing similar happen to me within 48 hours my sensitivity to male smells had increased, and within a week I didn't smell like a guy anymore.

It was so creepy because I would sleep in my bed and it would smell like I was sleeping with a male friend as the scent seemed somehow familiar and comforting dispite somtimes waking me up with the (Wagh! someone is in my bed!) although I'd not noticed it before.
It was kinda sad as the smell faded kinda pushed that feeling that I killed myself and that guy was fading away. :/

I have always wore womens scents even in the male days. (one of the things I would do to try and make myself attractive to lesbians. (I was a total man-dyke and I prefered lesbians. Yes it does make ones love life much harder when one has a male body and your attracted to lesbians.)

i was living with two girls earlier this year and they told me my room smelled like boy all the time. but i had a tiny room and lots of clothes. and i did notice it.
i moved back in with my parents recently, but i haven't noticed the smell recently. but my room is much larger. however, when i do my laundry or wash my sheets, the scent is still there.
my female friends always comment on how manly my sheets smell. i'm not sure if they are telling me to wash them or if its nice. ha

if the smell bothers you though. i'd try changing your detergent. while the smell doesn't necessarily bother me, i don't particularly like my clean clothes smelling like a mens locker room. so i use tide with the febreeze sport in it and it works wonders.
