It's almost like they want their fanbase to remain single and sexually frustrated

They also don't wash their asses because its "gay".

They engage in a practice called "not touching butt maxing"

so how many men is "some men?" weasel words imply the actual reality is someone saw a statistically insignificant number of tweets and didn't want to say that because it weakens the point they already decided they want to make.

anyway my junk smells great after a shower, and i know people with sniff kinks, so... i guess that makes me more alpha than these losers.

Aye, this is the most non-story thing ever.

My wife has always told me that women really just want a guy who is nice to them and doesn't smell, and monosphere weirdos keep telling them to do the opposite.

I’ve read my fair share of romance novels by women and it’s common to describe the main love interest as smelling like freshly clean laundry lol. Literally just show up clean with clean clothes on. It’s not more complicated than that.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

This is a good source. Women talking to women without men around, which is what romance novels are in essence.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 3 days ago

Well you're not going keep a small army of incels addicted to "content" and dubious financial apps signed up to via affiliate links if you get them all laid now, are you?

My first GF, many years ago. I was snuggling with her, and smelled her hair. I said it smelled nice, and she pulled back to tell me she hadn't washed it in three days. In the moment, because I was so young and inexperienced, I felt a little foolish.

It doesn't take long to realize it's okay to like what you like.

[–] Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Women (subjectively, admittedly) smell so much nicer than men ever have when they stink.

A stinky man smells like mildew and mold. A stinky woman smells like sweat, but in a very sweet way

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 59 points 4 days ago (4 children)

A young woman once did comment positively on my scent while I was perspiring lightly, but I had showered previously, so that probably helped the most.

[–] CackNClap 76 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Definitely a big difference between fresh sweat on a clean, healthy person and STANK!

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

I think I was healthy back then too

It’s called Stank Booty here where I live, and it’s quite the cock block actually.

It's not that hard... shower 4-8 hours before the date, then don't do anything that makes you sweat significantly or become dirty. You'll still be clean, but won't have scrubbed away your natural smells and the like.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (5 children)

I’m pretty sure if it’s anything-maxxing it’s stupid as fuck. Unless it’s giving me money-maxing. I’m all for that one.

If you show up to a cafe smelling like an anime convention or a TCG tournament then you have only yourself to blame when your date runs away gagging.

I’m not up on whatever trend but it may work in some cases provided they’re not just marinating in filth (there’s definitely a difference).

I got psy-op’d by society into being very anxious about possibly smelling around a date since I sweat easily so I ensured absolutely every time before one was a VERY thorough shower and scrub til’ I was practically raw, generous application of deoderant, etc. and applied a light bit of tea tree oil before I went on a date.

On one of the early dates with my now-wife while we were watching a movie, she finally turned to me and said that there was some sort of smell to me that was giving her a headache for the past few dates and asked if I could just not use that moving forward.

It turned out that she actually hated the deoderant and tea tree and so on and actually some sort of wire is crossed in her head such that my natural body scent smells like passionfruit to her (she very positively rates passionfruit). So my early efforts to come off as if I have never had the concept of sweat in my life were directly sabotaging my attempt to appeal to her nose, in addition to making me feel insecure about it when there was really no need.

I mean I did just date a woman who told me she was into sniffing body odor. As in, would shove her nose into her ex's armpits after he mowed the lawn. We didn't date long enough for it to happen to me, but definitely a thing, for some people

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 22 points 4 days ago (7 children)

Is this just a feed back loop for incels? Woman rejects them at first date because they smell terribly and they have new "evidence" of all women hating them?

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

Yep. Just like all male influencer advice. It's a pit of despair you can only keep falling down so long as you keep taking their advice

[–] Alexfire@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Maybe something with this?

Regarding human attraction, evolutionary theory suggests that individuals may be subconsciously drawn to partners with dissimilar MHC genes. This preference is often mediated by body odor, as MHC genotypes influence the scent of sweat and other bodily fluids. Choosing a partner with different MHC alleles increases the likelihood that offspring will inherit a diverse set of immune genes, potentially enhancing their pathogen resistance and overall fitness.
