    Seems like good advice.

    It lets women know which men are listening to these influencers.

    Also: pheromones? Why does that continue to get airtime each generation? The organ that processes pheromones in most mammals isn’t functional in humans, and most people cover the inside of their noses with so much artificial scent that they can’t smell anything subtle anyway. So all you get from that is the stink of bacterial byproducts.

      My wife says my sweaty body is attractive to her. I dunno, there may be some truth to this.

      Old stale sweat is a no go of course.

        It can be different when you know someone. But acquaintances and strangers? Nah that shit gross

      I think the main issue is that there’s no such thing as human pheromones… so whether we might be able to perceive them if they existed is entirely academic.

      We are however capable of smelling body odours, and some of them are linked to sexual attraction or mate suitability and only appear after puberty.

        Pheromones are chemical signals that living organisms release outside their bodies to communicate with other members of the same species. If you think humans don’t release chemical signals, you’re mistaken. We don’t have them mapped out because their creation and their reaction are both highly dependent on genetics of the creator and the receiver, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

        However, yes, the smells created by bacteria will very likely overpower any positive benefit your pheromones could possibly impart. Fresh pheromone creation is where it’s at.

    Another example of how the manosphere is actually a way to confuse young men without dating experience into making themselves less attractive, so their resentment toward women who dont accept them despite “doing all the rigjt things” can be politically weaponized to reorient these men into fascist social reality

    When my son was in college i told him, “Girls don’t kiss boys who don’t shower.”

    His response- “The girls I like do.”

    Ewwww.

    This is, once again, an instance of some women having a fetish and then the manosphere trying to project this onto all women.

    They are not capable of understanding that different women are different, they really believe that all women are the same and that if they have the right cheat codes they can make women do whatever they want. Women are not people to them.

      Yeah being into post workout or “hasn’t showered yet today” smell is honestly kinda common, especially on someone you already are into and like the smell of. Not showering at all or letting it keep going is however a rare variant, and even the common version is by no means universal.

      And speaking as someone repulsed by testosteronized bo, please keep the post workout smell to those who’ve requested it

      Once you stop wiping your ass and start drinking your own piss, you should start stinking in no time. The women will be smelling you for miles. 👃

      It doesn’t attract women but it does isolate men, which is what the manosphere is about. Because why would anyone look for women in a place called “the manosphere”?

      Sex is inherently gross, so part of arousal is dialing down disgust. For some people, that dialing down goes overboard until it becomes an attractant in itself. So, as a result, they actually become aroused by disgusting things. Biology is wild.

    I am so tired of this shit. Last year it was women in the gym rubbing vagina juices on their necks to attract mates in the gym, and now this? I have a sensitive sense of smell and this is an affront on me.

      Please. As if women need to do anything other than exist to attract attention at the gym.
