  Back in the 90s, they used to call us metrosexual or metro. Just because I didn’t want to look or smell like I work in a coal mine.

      People say Irish spring smells like a urinal cake, but I really liked when they put ground up seeds in their bodywash. It was like the cheapest exfoliating gel at the time

    Probably partially had to do with it being your wife’s, not just women’s. Scent is supposedly closely tied to memory, so your brain was probably tying it to her not women in general

  What gets me is that, according to the gender stereotype, women enjoy the flowery type scents, so you would think that if ladies find that pleasing that men would want to smell that way.

  Personally, I like to smell clean and I don’t buy soap based on the color of the bottle or whether it says “for men” in it. My shampoo/conditioner has a nice citrus aroma, but more importantly it does a great job on my hair.

  source

  • Revan343@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    That’s not the stereotype, the gender stereotype is that women are supposed to smell that way.

    Needless to say, it’s a stupid stereotype, as stereotypes generally are

      I have some kind of allergy to the seemingly most common perfume scent. I remember getting massive headaches riding in the car with my mom as a kid, my gf/wife wore it for a while too until I told her I thought it gives me headaches. One of my coworkers would spray it right at her desk in a large quantity until I (as nicely as I could) asked her to do it away from the desk as the smell was very intense, which she did oblige.

      Don’t know what the point of this was lol

  • blarghly@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    You probably think that freshly mown grass after a spring rain smells good. You would probably be weirded out if your chocolate cake smelled like that. Just because women like flowery scents doesn’t mean it is a good idea for a man looking for women to wear one.

  It is a society thing. There were many ways I never got along with my ex mother in law …… but one of them was that if I forgot my soap or shampoo and used my wife’s she made a big deal of it. I mean I would thank her for (passive aggressively) complimenting my scent but that’s annoying.

  It’s just soap and shampoo. I generally prefer unscented and strongly prefer something that doesn’t trigger my psoriasis but the bottom line is getting clean

  It’s up to him to decide for himself what he considers to be manly.
  However, considering a certain type of shower product to be for ‘a little bitch’, seems a bit insecure to me. This is in addition to being rather ungrateful for being offered to use the product

  The men where I live don’t seem to buy into the idea of toxic masculinity. They’re fashion conscious, spend a lot of time on their hair and if they don’t carry a “man bag” per se, then they’re likely to at least be spotted holding their GF’s purse. A lot of guys do cardio, not a lot do bodybuilding. Most men ride Vespa scooters and cars with fart cannon mufflers are not unheard of, but vanishingly rare. Gigantic pickup trucks are nonexistent.

  But even here the most popular men’s body wash variety is “charcoal.” 😂

  Ngl, I wouldn’t use the rose scented stuff either, but mainly because my nose would clog up if I tried. Most fake flower smells do it.

  I’d just go ham and exfoliate harder. Soap isn’t actually necessary to be clean and not smell. It’s just much easier to achieve those goals with it than without. Hell, depending on where you’re washing on your body, soap can be a bad thing because even the stuff designed to not over strip skin won’t always live up to that promise.

  Legit folks, if you run out of soap, you can be just as clean (as in dead skin cells sloughed off, excess oils gone, and any odors from the bacteria on your body gone) with just your hands, short term. You’d need something better at exfoliating than bare hands if it’s going to be over about a week, but it’s still doable. Longer term, soap itself is just faster, not better, than any other product that can reduce skin oils and any clinging dirt.

  You’d be amazed how many people have strong sensitivities to most surfactants, or outright allergies to some of the more common ingredients. They can be right beside you in an elevator after years of not using soap, and you won’t know.
