      Or was that MTG. Same shit applies, probably. Not much time for hygiene when you’re trying to catch up on One Piece, Bleach and Naruto.

    It’s almost like they want their fanbase to remain single and sexually frustrated

    My first GF, many years ago. I was snuggling with her, and smelled her hair. I said it smelled nice, and she pulled back to tell me she hadn’t washed it in three days. In the moment, because I was so young and inexperienced, I felt a little foolish.

    It doesn’t take long to realize it’s okay to like what you like.

    so how many men is “some men?” weasel words imply the actual reality is someone saw a statistically insignificant number of tweets and didn’t want to say that because it weakens the point they already decided they want to make.

    anyway my junk smells great after a shower, and i know people with sniff kinks, so… i guess that makes me more alpha than these losers.

    My wife has always told me that women really just want a guy who is nice to them and doesn’t smell, and monosphere weirdos keep telling them to do the opposite.

      I’ve read my fair share of romance novels by women and it’s common to describe the main love interest as smelling like freshly clean laundry lol. Literally just show up clean with clean clothes on. It’s not more complicated than that.

        Technically true. Fun and interesting are what most people are attracted to regardless of gender. People also are particularly prone to developing attraction to people they feel good being around.

        Kindness is however a prerequisite for a large portion of women (and an absolute no go for plenty of other women, because people). The ones who want kindness are much better partners

          100 percent disagree. The number one thing that women consider in a long term partner is financial stability. People confuse “kind to me” as kind. The shittiest rich people have the most partners. People are attracted to power and success. The stories come along after.

            Some people are. It’s also a question of what the man wants - a lot of shitty short term partners, or one (or a small number) of hight quality long term partners. The latter is better achieved by being kind to the partner.

        By telling you to trust virgin men instead of women on matters of what said women think, said virgin men fried your understanding of the world forever.

    I mean I did just date a woman who told me she was into sniffing body odor. As in, would shove her nose into her ex’s armpits after he mowed the lawn. We didn’t date long enough for it to happen to me, but definitely a thing, for some people

    A young woman once did comment positively on my scent while I was perspiring lightly, but I had showered previously, so that probably helped the most.

    I’m pretty sure if it’s anything-maxxing it’s stupid as fuck. Unless it’s giving me money-maxing. I’m all for that one.

      I also wonder why no one loved them. It’s clear they didn’t get enough love from their parents and family. Their support system is lacking in some fundamental way that they would turn to grifters to feel cared for.

        I have a lot less sympathy. Sometimes people have plenty of love and support and they just do weird messed up shit, or stuff like think the confident Internet guy has good dating advice.

        Not everyone who does stuff like this was failed by the system. It’s not falling through the cracks if you pull yourself through the hole.

    It’s not that hard… shower 4-8 hours before the date, then don’t do anything that makes you sweat significantly or become dirty. You’ll still be clean, but won’t have scrubbed away your natural smells and the like.
