      “If you’re too insecure to wash your nasty-ass stank smell off because of a nice smell, you ARE a bitch, and a whiny one at that. When you grow up to be a REAL man, my body wash will still be there, not giving a shit about what dangles between your legs or what you think is or isn’t manly.”

    Bro Soap. Manly soap for manly men, no chemicals that will make you gay or turn you into a woman. Comes in wood pine and musky tusk. Real men don’t bathe, but when you must, use Bro Soap. No homo.

        Ya then look at the military. My dad spent 8 years in the airforce and he swears it was the most homoerotic 8 years of his life even tho he’s straight. Gay shit is so common in the military it’s laughable whenever conservatives try to hold military men as the gold standard for what a man is. Meanwhile a whole platoon of Marines are seeing is Jim Bob can deep throat the plotoons gaint black dildo. But totally as a joke… Why does the platoon have a dildo… Don’t ask don’t tell.

    A good 20% of the appeal in actually dating women is getting to use their forbidden female bath products every once in a while when your 11 in 1 manboy all purpose body scrub, shampoo, conditioner, lubricant, fuel oil, anti seize, weed killer, bug repellent, fire starter, persevative, and paint stripper runs out.

      As a guy with long hair, I’ve learned to just roll my eyes at the gendering of hair products. The all in one shit is made with the assumption that it’s being used on short hair that’ll be chopped off in a few months max, so it doesn’t need to preserve anything. Long hair has to last years.

        Same. To be fair it’s an easy choice for me, why would I want to smell like some nebulous XXXFUEL, SPORTS PISS, or MOUNTAIN JUNK when I could smell like a bakery instead? Apple and cinnamon poo and condish? Yes please. Vanilla leave-in? Give!

      • Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        You guys don’t get it. Those products smell like that to appeal to women. If anyone even notices you smell like a woman, the obvious inference is that you have a girlfriend. Or at least spent the night with a woman. If it’s dilute enough to not really be noticeable, women will just find it appealing. Vanilla in particular is non-gendered, what you smelled like was a cookie!

      Mike Birbiglia has a really funny bit about this. Calling the shampoo, body wash, tooth paste, “sham-paste”. Of course watch his comedy special as my comment won’t do it justice. I think of it everytime I’m in the bath aisle at a store.

    Used to do IT for a small meat packing plant; would shoot the shit with the warehouse guys whenever they came in for a break. Bunch of 20-something guys slinging 20-60 pound boxes of meat all day.

    Power went out one time, and we’re all sitting around waiting to see if the power is going to come back quickly enough that we don’t need to start unloading all the inventory; and one of them expressed a need to use the facilities. I told him the bathroom was right there; it didn’t need power to flush.

    There were no windows, and he didn’t want to end up peeing all over the floor.

    I pointed out that if he sat down, he wouldn’t need to aim.

    “I’m not gonna sit to pee!”

    “Dude, it’s not like it’s gonna fall off.”

    “It might!”

      Stories like these and the multiple ones about dudes not wiping after they shit gives me serious pause when considering my other cis het mental faculties. Shiiiit, I usually only go once a day in the morning but it my crack is itching I’ll wet down some toilet paper just to make sure I got everything. Do these weirdos actually enjoy having an itchy ass‽

        More fun facts.

        Many men don’t wash their ass in the shower because it’s considered gay.

        Also 1/3rd of Americans and Europeans only change their bed sheets once a year.

      i love sitting down to pee. with a penis, even. standing up takes effort. sitting does not. i can dribble off in the toilet instead of on my pants. i can check my phone quick. i can sit instead of stand. pee flows out better sitting down so i strain less. i don’t have to stand elbow to elbow with a stranger holding his dick, too literally ever. the pros are quite good.

      the only bad thing is apparently some men think it’s not manly! but im gay sooo oh nooooo anything but that. also sometimes the water is too high and the tip of your dick might touch but really this barely ever happens. I’m all anyways, so when i use a urinal my dick is squished up by the top rim most of the time anyways which i find gross too.

        Thats the worst. Stand to pee, let out a fart while peeing, fart turns into turtlehead, finish peeing, and to immediately sit down with face in fart cloud.

      As a cis man, I sometimes pee sitting down but only at home, never in a public bathroom. I go as far as lifting the toilet seat with my foot. The less contact the better. Maybe if I touched the bowl with my dick it would fall off, not taking any chances

    It took me until the early 2020s to realize that men even have body washes in the first place.

    Keep in mind that I abandoned broadcast TV around 2001 or 2002, so I completely cut all commercials out of my life.

    Then when the first adblocker became available for Phoenix (later Firebird, then Firefox) around 2004, I was all over that like white on rice. So since 2004 the only ads I have had to suffer were when I set up a new system whose browsers needed configuring, and later once my browser protections became too strict and I needed a “naked” web browser for user-hostile sites that tied spyware and near-malware into site-critical functionality.

    So I have been “out of the advertising loop” for a very long time, and always saw bodywash as a female thing. I quite literally never “got the memo” that body washes came for men.

    And I’m not likely to get any, either. And not for any stupidly sexist reasons - after five decades on this rock, I am just habituated on bars of soap. I just don’t like the showering/soaping-up experience without bar soap.

        “Oh sorry I forgot”

        “No worries, since I don’t like your rose stuff, I’ll just pour a few coors lights over myself right before I dry off. Try to grab it next time you’re out if you can, thanks”

      Seriously. For some people cooking, baking, sewing, cleaning, doing the dishes, laundry are all for women and not “manly”. A “manly man” is then someone who cannot take care of himself at all and needs a mother/nanny substitute his whole life just to survive. And that’s somehow “strong”???

    • Dicska@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      You don’t even need to have emotions while using a scented body wash. You can just go “ah, roses, cool” and get on with it.

      There is a legitimate reason to prefer something else. I would also want something that provides freshness in a minty/salty/whatever way. Roses do smell nice, but I would rather have something associated with icy/sporty freshness. But assuming it’s feminine just because it smells like flowers… consult renaissance folks.
