Effective Networking (Bathe. Seriously.)
Note: This is part of a series of articles called Effective Networking in the Games Industry. I'm writing these articles in no particular order, so I'm sorry if this seems scattered. I promise I will collect it all and put it on my permanent webspace for future reference.
I'm going to make this one short and sweet.
I am willing to network with pretty much anyone. That said, I have met people at industry events and immediately did everything within my power to get the hell away from them. This is because they smelled like a sweaty old sock filled with cheese that was recently marked as the territory of a paranoid ocelot.
It saddens me that I have to give this advice. But I do. So please, if you don't already: bathe regularly.

I would suggest following this advice even if you don't want to network in the games industry. It's pretty useful in any environment.
Let's hope that all of the hygienically challenged folk also remember to brush their fangs and gorge on breath mints.
There was a fellow I used to work with, and despite his being very nice, I would abhor any interaction with him because I was certain that he was keeping a small dead animal tucked next to his tonsils.
