    Well, like any bodily liquid, sweat can carry with it a smell which is completely natural, though in society it can be offensive. It is thought that the natural body odor was used as a biological device to attract a potential mate. Nowadays though, sweat is great as it not only acts by cooling your body down (as it collects on your skin and evaporates, it carries away the heat), it also carries toxins out of your system, sort of like doing double duty. I guess sweat could get dirty once it combines with the natural oil that coats our bodies (a defense mechanism) and it accumulates pollution throughout the air - thus clogging your pores and giving your body a film. But I do not believe that pure sweat is bad for you.

    Well its not clean, so....

    old sweat is definitely not cool though(you know, like wearing old, unwashed, sweaty and poorly-ventilated clothes). That will definitely send the oppostie sex in the opposite direction.

    Sweat, like urine, is actually sterile. It's when it hits the air and your skin that it accumulates bacteria and starts getting smelly and tainted with bacteria.

    (Urine is sterile too unless you have an infection. Weird huh?)

    Yes, it contains several impurities.

    This is why it stings when it gets in your eyes.

    Just have a shower when you're sweaty.
