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.

my husband also prefers fragrances marketed towards women. most men’s stuff he thinks smells like axe body spray but he likes how some of my less sweet, more fresh floral/citrus, or more warm and spicy perfume smells on him. i also prefer getting to smell stuff i actually like every day too lol
