> Disgust as general reaction to all sweat samples is more believable because sweat is generally viewed as an unpleasant smell.
Stale sweat is usually described as horrible. But there are many references to people liking the smell of fresh sweat - see a lot of fanfic for examples.
I know some cite it as a good smell but they are in the minority. Plus, In my admittedly anecdotal experience, I've found that people who say that mean that they like the smell of sweat from people they're already attracted to, i.e. in their partner or in someone they find attractive versus just anybody, which would include people they dislike.
There is also a difference between those liking smell of sweat from the sex they're attracted to and men citing it as a "manly" thing, influenced in no small part by cultural and pop culture messaging.
