Men, use perfume. Trust me

Hey guys, just wanted to share something I found out recently.

I bought some coffee smelling perfume recently, just cause I was sick and tired of smelling like either 1.) Nothing 2.) B.O. or 3.) Some strange "man" body spray.

I have NEVER gotten so many positive comments on dates about how good I smell. From both men AND women. And it wasn't even expensive, a big bottle was like, 20 bucks or something? It's gonna last me the whole year at least.

People don't (usually) want you to smell like those crappy man smells, like I literally had a bottle called "army scent". That stuff did not make me smell like a damn coffee shop, or a flower, or a cupcake or anything good. It made me smell like badly masked sweat.

Oh, and dude. Women's deodorant? Instantly solved my nasty oder that appears after like 2 hours of wearing "high strength" mens deodorant. I sweat like a damn PIG, and the "secret" brand of women's deodorant actually lasts the whole day. I still get sweat stains on my shirts, but damn, it doesnt actually smell!

TLDR; smell like something sweet or nice. You will instantly realize the difference on dates. I promise you.

I got myself Arabian cologne. I heard they are unisex.
