A few months ago, we were at a supermarket with my mom, buying some stuff.
My mom needed an antiperspirant. When she was about to grab a black one, I heard a guy “helpfully” telling her that she was grabbing one “For Men™”, that the ones “For Women™” were the pink ones.
I immediately looked at the guy like “lol what, who asked”.
(My mom uses “men’s” antiperspirants because she doesn’t care about that, and they are usually cheaper than “women’s”)

Cool sport rush smells like mint. The bottle is black and the sticker has a wave of some sorts printed on it(the added surfer is optional). The gel is blue if its a fancier brand.
You buy it because you are doing sports but manly and sweat really manly. Only a cool sport rush can help against that. Its pretty obvious idk
edit: the bottle can be dark blue with silver applications on the sticker too! ngl this shit is more complex than i thought!
I’ve seen shaving cream in “sports edition” before. Can you explain that? Does it shave faster?
Uuuh,
probably because it isnt really that manly to shave anything but your face. But if its done for sports its even manlier.
dont @ me. I dont make the rules.
It’s for racing cyclists. There’s nothing more aero than legs and face shaved with sports shaving cream.
And regular shaving cream just won’t do the trick.
Visually you may not notice the difference, but the air flowing around you at 200m/s as you cycle up mnt Thor will.
Make sure that your micro plastic shower puff is blue, black, or silver.
Wouldn’t want your rubber ducky collection think you were gay.
Are you saying multiple brands use Cool Sport Rush?
I’m a man and my deodorants are either lemon or sage.
Just stop buying shit.
I mean, I love lemon, but I wouldn’t rub one on my armpits…
Pfft. Coward.
I washed my balls in 24% acetic acid once.
They did get clean, in the sense that it burned the outermost layer of skin right off, yeah so but just letting you all know not to do that.
TIL to avoid washing my balls with concentrated vinegar.
It seemed like a reasonable thing to do at the time.
Wasn’t really planning on it, but thanks for the heads up.
You’re welcome!
My deodorant is called “pungent sweat”.
Just stop buying shit.
I’m a roasted chicken cooking in the sun and my deodorants are either olive oil or a sweet kiss from Nonna.
Just stop buying shit. Also, if you didn’t grow those lemons and sage yourself, you’re part of the problem because you also could stop buying shit.
Are you growing those olives and producing the olive oil or…
yes, my Nonna actually gave me an olive oil gland so I could squeeze out my own

My favorite concept is Unscented.
I’ve found a few locally made perfume of unscented. It’s kind of amazing to me. It smells like “nothing” and “existing” as a scent concept.
Then there’s a French fragrance of smelling like after sex. Reportedly it smells like, well, after sex. Sweaty, carnal.
That reminds me of how the original Febreeze was an odor remover that didn’t smell like anything. It wasn’t very popular, so they started adding scents to them.
Nobody is stopping men from smelling line vanilla or lavender.
I smell almost as fruity as I am. Not all of us smell like sandalwood.
That’s like saying “Nobody is stopping men from wearing dresses”. You probably won’t get arrested for it, but there are definitely social pressures that strongly discourage it.
Nah, you could walk around smelling like vanilla or citrus and still smell masculine.
my preferred cologne has main notes of lavendar and black pepper.
That’s not entirely true. We can also get smells named after types of wood, metal, or alcohol.
Carbon Jungle
Copper Bourbon cedar is my favorite
True or not… cant we get some outrage at the (gestures broadly) injustice?
I’d be more outraged if I used the stuff. I use scentless or when it comes to soaps I don’t buy the men’s scents. I’ll smell like vanilla after my shower if I want to!
Heavily scented shampoo, shower gel etc. is annoying anyway. I’d rather use some kind of perfume/cologne/etc. separately. Perfume is its own can of worms, though …

Necrophagia for Men
Red Wiggler by Nightcrawler
Rich, dark, earthy undertones, hint of musk mid note, and top with green, peppery cabbage
Perfume is great, take the time to craft your own, it’s never been easier. May I also suggest you do it for yourself rather than some perceived effect on others. I’ve had complements, and it starts an interesting conversation, but IDGAF mostly, it’s for me, I have to live with it, so I might as well enjoy it.
I also enjoy the process of crafting it, like the cat says, “it’s a little different every time”. Beats the hell out of some off the shelf deodorant or whatever, costs a little more (surprisingly little more, start with the cheap stuff), but amortized over time, building a scent library (essential oils) pays off big time in personal enjoyment, at least for me.
I was at the grocery store with my brother in law and saw some guys girlfriend giving him shit over the men’s scents for body wash.
“Men’s stuff all smells like wood. Why?!”
Without skipping a beat, I ran over, picked up a bottle and said “whoa, I want to smell like wood”
Girlfriend glared daggers at me, as apparently I had just diffused the debate of the century, while her boyfriend was giving me thumbs up and smiling.
For the rest of the day, my brother in law and I would respond to everything with “smells like wood”
wood smells good tho
The ancient Egyptians used sandalwood to produce perfume oils. Smelling like wood isn’t ever going out of style.
Its annoying that every mans product is “whiskey barrel” or “bourbon wood” or whatever, yet smells NOTHING like whiskey. Its just a word used to describe generic “guy scents” so they dont have to call it ‘bergamot lavender neroli allspice’.
That’s a feature not a bug. The goal is to smell woodsy like the barrel, not like an alcoholic.
It doesnt even smell like the barrell…i have on my shelf right right now several fragrances with “whiskey” in the name. Granted, I like all of them, they are good smells, but they smell nothing like aged oak, scorched aged oak, or other whiskey-adjacent things.
“Arctic Thunder”
smells like detergent and piss
Hell yeah, Tropic Thunder sequel
“Who left the fridge open?”
Have you seen the DVD commentary btw? You know in the film Lazarus says “I don’t get out of character until the DVD commentary”, well, he didn’t drop character for the DVD commentary either he just stays Lincoln Osiris through the whole thing. It’s like watching a whole extra level of the film. There is even some side stuff he did you can find on YT, like, a couple of skits with him just staying in character, it seems he really loved that one. :)
I don’t mind smelling like Swagger
I smell like Product The Supermarket Will Drop In Two Weeks.
I’m a man and don’t like most scents of the deodorants/antiperspirants “for men”, so I just use one “for women”. I smell fruity instead of some agressive chemical fragrance.
You may like Bath and Body Works Immortal. The Black Plum gives it a very distinct sweetness so it’s not your typical masculine scent. Only available in autumn though.
Same. I’m currently using coconut scented conditioner, and some sweety cologne, for example (chocolate scented spray kinda slaps too)
Guys, you know you can buy shower gel in fruity / sweet versions and still be super manly, right? I am a straight dude and ALWAYS use nice smelling bath stuff, because ‘ninja carbon fighter jet black 2000 jet fuel’ just isn’t for me.
As a large bearded man who uses Coconut and Vanilla body wash and deodorant. Along with lemon/sage + tea tree oil shampoo and conditioner, I’m with you
One more reason to become girl 😉
My go-tos are “fig” and “redwood”
