What cracks me up is that toxic people my age would say that if your going to lather up with a body wash and exfoliating sponge you may as well invite your boyfriend into the shower with you.

herbal essences was my kink for a long time.

Herbal Essences is considered girly?

what about this commercial is masculine?
pero@lemm.ee 4 days ago
Gonna be honest, women body/hair shampoos smell way better than men shampoo in many cases imo. Nah, I don’t wanna smell like BLUE STEEL or REALLY RIPPED ABS. Bruh, nah. Plus all of them smell soo artificial too… Atm I use a vanilla scented hair wash. Idgaf, i like how it smells.
Don’t even get me started on axe body sprays/body washes, i still get PTSD flashbacks from my highschool change rooms.

The cologne I used to wear had leading notes of lavendar and cracked pepper. A good rule of thumb is masculine scents tend to incorporate wood or spice notes, where feminine scents are straight floral or fruit notes.

Fragile masculinity is commodified these days. Sadly that bitch ass shit is on the rise.

I’m sorry you have to deal with a bum who would rather smell like one than Bulgarian roses.
Don’t know if he’s inherently an insecure fragile sexist bitch, or if it’s a development helped by him uncritically swallowing whatever dumb condescending gendered marketing. Maybe both.

Sounds like insecurity to me.

if it were me I’d be conflicted about whether to respond with just “k” or demanding a conversation about boundaries
amotio@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Maybe he just does not want to TOUCH the unmanly bodywash. Try offering him that you will be applying it. And you save water too.

This seems like a golden opportunity to fuck with him in subtle ways. How many girls things can you disguise?

Bulgarian-rose scented sounds marvellous

Is it actually Bulgarian though?

Calling another man a bitch is fighting words. Fuck him

I’m sure there are alternatives to sexual intercourse
rocketpoweredredneck@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago
Nope, as soon as one man calls another a bitch, the one that got called a bitch is required to fuck the other one to assert his dominance. It’s the only way to be a real man.

I use Ivory white bar soap. No antibacterials.
mechoman444@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Ehhhh … I use old spice… Maybe I’m a little insecure.

I dunno, they have some pretty good scents. I love the hell out of their “wilderness” deodorant with lavender.
Lesrid@lemm.ee 3 days ago
Fiji is amazing. Very floral without being too sweet for me
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
Original? You smell like my dad. I’m 65. Still a great scent though. As a little girl I’d dab it behind my ears for perfume.

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.
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Not sure how these body washes caught on. I just use a plain old unscented bar of soap!
swelter_spark@reddthat.com 4 days ago
They were originally supposed to replace soap and shampoo, so you only had to buy one product.
TheFrirish@jlai.lu 3 days ago
Mate I’d use dishwasher soap if what is he worried about?
Ardycake@lemm.ee 3 days ago
Sometimes I use dishsoap. I love the lemony scent.

I’d already be considering the usage of hands after the second text if this happened to me, lol.

It sounds like this guy needs SLAM LOTION! The best sunscreen for manly men that want to suntan like a man!!!

You can get anything clean with disn soap. It’s great for laundry, too.
