    Oh shit that took me far too long.

    But when did this horrible trend start with young men putting like half a bottle of cologne on them?

    (it’s a major issue for me due to sensory overload)

      I’m pretty sure it’s been a thing since cologne was invented.

      FWIW I went to high school in the early-mid 00s, and during those days, it wasn’t cologne - it was Axe body spray. My friends and I would joke about there being ads in the future similar to the, “Did you work at such-and-such and develop mesothelioma? You may be entitled to compensation.” Except instead of asbestos filling your lungs and giving you a disease, it’s Axe. That crap was in the air perpetually.

        Fair, but we’re noticing a huge rise in the city in the last months.

        Seems to be a ‘recent’ trend for young mens to overdo it.

          I doubt “application” has changed. You’d be better off looking at the types of scents being sold over the years.

            I don’t think it’s the scent but the amount but not an expert either 🤷.

            Anyhow for me the only option is again just staying home, that’s what neurodivergent do.

      I remember in highschool that some of the other boys seemed to think AXE body spray was an adequate substitute for showering regularly.

      It’s not. It just makes you smell like AXE and BO.

    Find a colon scent that works for you. You’ll be surprised how women respond to it and it’ll make you feel more confident! One of my favorites smells like wood and leather, for example.

    If “Bologna” is “baloney”, should “Cologne” be “caloney” or “calonay”? Or colony, it’s a cognate of the roman place name “Colonia Agrippina”.

    Would any of you like to try my colon?

    Or a bunch of us get together and try each others colons, like a gang?
    Wow, imagine how eye opening that would be. The lovely fumes of all those used colons just hanging in the air…
