It encourages men to skip showers, avoid deodorant, wear sweaty clothes, and even drink their own urine before dates (I wretched upon learning this). The flawed logic is that this will raise a man’s “natural pheromone level”, making him not just more sexy but actually biologically irresistible to us women.

Why does every crazy ideology always end up back at drinking piss?

    "Bah! To hell with this! Get my razor! Draw a bath! And get these Kleenex boxes off my feet!"

    "Certainly, sir! And, uh, the jars of urine?"

    "Ooh... we'll hang on to those."

    Scary part is that this one might work, my wife gets all handsy when I smell of sweat, dirt and cut grass.

    Its not like discount bodywash and Lynx Africa is exactly setting yourself apart.

    That's the smell of physical labor not the smell of sitting on your ass fumes that is being suggested lol.

    EDIT: Also want to point out some cultures use so much perfume that it most definitely does make a difference on what you are wearing, although my nose feels like its getting pepper sprayed whenever I step into a mall with like 30 perfume shops lined up lmao

    If I use perfume at all, it will be the least noticable thing possible. I want to be noticed as little as possible in real life.

    So I want to not smell at all, if possible. I like that stinging nettle nonsense for some reason, so I use that shampoo. Mentol is cool too.

    Just nothing to either be sexy or repulsive from.

    She likes it when you've been working hard to make her garden nicer... Have you considered it's not the smell doing the work here?

    Fresh sweat really is full of pheromones and can smell really sexy.

    Its when that sweat gets stale you start to get the classic rancid BO smell.

    No study has conclusively isolated or identified human sex pheromones, although various researchers have investigated the possibility of their existence.

    Maybe not pheromones, but fresh sweat does have an odor, and it's a sexy one. It quits being sexy once it gets rancid, though. Of course, there are some people who get turned on by bad body odor, but that's rare.

    I suspect that it works because she is your wife. BO works a lot better on your 101st date than it does on your 1st date. It is not about your armpits having an alluring scent, but the fact that the scent reminds your wife of times she got you all sweaty and stinky. It calls back to driving home after a long hike or snuggling with you on a cold winter day. It is a scent that she is used to smelling when she is looking at someone she loves.

    Fresh sweat is sexy, but sweat goes from sexy to funky pretty damn quick. This is because the bad odor isn't caused by the sweat itself but by bacteria in your sweat.

    Then why the fuck does my sweat smell like gun powder and motor oil? Thats not sexy that's my body practically screaming about how I want to make the old union militias and IRA look like a bunch of amateurs.

    I mean, it makes sense. The manosphere is above all else, a grift. If someone who's listening to the podcasts and buying the online courses actually gets a girlfriend and realizes how stupid it all is, they're not going to keep giving the grifters money. The point is to keep them single, angry, and blaming women.

    No no, this is actually a good idea. It makes it even more obvious who to avoid.

    (I wretched upon learning this).

    Oof. That's a terrible typo to make.

    Retched is what you did before puking, and wretched means "miserable" or "dismal".

    How much longer until the manosphere drops pursuing women and just goes full homosexual? They seem to like other men more already. They should just come out of the closet already.

    it's like people are only capable of comprehending extremes; either you scrub every millimeter of your body with hydrochloric acid, or you never clean yourself and in fact smear yourself in actual dogshit.

    god forbid we just.. shower with water and use a bit of gentle soap if we're really dirty..

    Have you tried showering in Axe Body Spray and making yourself and everyone around you sick from the scent, you fucking numpty?

    Frankly, I'd rather smell unwashed incel.

    Edit: fuck your downvotes and you if you think pouring artificial scents on yourself and ruining the day of someone that's allergic to that shit is better than some BO.

    Goddamn it pisses me off when I have to leave an event because someone's given me a splitting headache and watering eyes because they've so thoroughly screwed up their olfactory sense to think that they aren't a walking war crime after putting half an ounce of that trash on themselves.
