Answer:

because when we sweat little bacterias on our skin basicly eat up the sweat and exreat smelly gases and those bactes mostly thrive int the dark so since the armpits are mosly dark all the time there is more bacteria

because air doesn't get to your armpits as much as the flat parts of your body. Also the little wrinkles and crevasses hold moisture and body waste and are a breeding place for fungus and bacteria that smell bad

We have sweat glands all over our bodies, but they are more common under the arms and in the croutch.

At puberty, other glands start working and there is a change of odor in the perspiration. This serves as pheromones...sex attractants. Now days we mask those smells.

If the perspiration is not washed off, the chemicals in the sweat act as nutrition for bacteria and the warm, moist environment encourages the growth of bacteria. The bacteria produce smells.

In the good old days (before soap) the raunchier you smelled the more the cave ladies would swoon over your masculinity.

Good luck in smelling pretty for our 21st century ladies!
