That's literally the conversation. My argument is that mandating showers before events

I don't think you know what mandate means? Making fun of people who are confusing body odor with pheromones is not the same as someone giving an official command to always bathe before dates.

the entire meme here screams of shallow peacocking

What do you think peacocking means? I don't know how someone is going to make themselves stand out of the crowd by bathing.

You're the only one talking about genitals.

Do you not think the condition of your genitals may have something to do with why you should take a shower? Especially before going on a date?

    I know what mandate means, it's fine you don't understand me I don't wish to clarify.

    Peacocking is just changing any set of habits to impress over your baseline, it doesn't require any specific or significant signifer and can be hygiene, dress, financial, or otherwise.

    I think that you're too fuckin shallow if you think a date directly ties to sex, but hey, lots of people are.

    That is not the commonly understood definition of peacocking......

    "Peacocking is a social behavior where someone dresses or acts in a flashy, exaggerated way to grab attention and stand out from a crowd"

    you're too fuckin shallow if you think a date directly ties to sex, but hey, lots of people are.

    Wut? I wouldn't exactly go on a date to acquire a platonic friendship..... Typically dates are tied to a romantic relationship, most romantic relationships include sexual intercourse.

    It's hilarious that you think being considerate to your partner makes you shallow. I feel bad for any of your current or future significant others.
