Have you ever walked past someone and found yourself wondering, “What is that smell?” sometimes its soft and welcoming, sometimes it lingers pleasantly but more often than not it’s a hard hit to the nostrils. Club night is the only night one can expect for this not to happen, with most gay men smelling like something from Hollister, Abercrombie and Fitch, or Axe. In the end the club smells the same it does every night, like a bunch of gay men about to have sex. All men who bother to don cologne love the way it makes them smell and give them a strange amount of confidence. Even the most attractive man seems to think he can now go after the hottest guy in the place.
I remember a time I was hanging out with new friends and one of them just had to have certain cologne, it was the only one he wore. He got it I smelled it and all I could say ways, “It smells like Woody’s on a Wednesday night.” Needless to say it was taken as an insult. We remain friends via Facebook.
Sure from the bottle it smells one way but once it contacts skin and mixes with ones natural smell it becomes something slightly different. I however can tell a scent no matter who is wearing it. I know my favorites such as Romace, Obsession, Polo Blue, Axe, and a plethora of others. I knew them so well that many guys have no idea what I am talking about until I describe the bottle. Obviously these are the kinds that just put shit on that they think smells good.
As for the 90% of men who wear cologne it is obvious they love it, some to the point they bathe in it and those are the ones you cannot say anything to. They are the ones who might put on chap stick to finish off their look, mean while their hair could use some product and a lint roller would only do them good. It is a losing battle, there are men who look great rolling out of bed, spend the necessary time to primp and one or two sprits of their favorite sent and they go off to date the most unattractive person. Then there is the guy who looks ok, throws on whatever and goes on his way, he just so happens to be dating a guy who looks great and spends all the time in the world to get his hair, face and outfit looking just right and puts on just enough bottled sent to just bring it all together.
Oddly enough the guy who looks ok, demands the best from everyone in areas where no one else can see, Quite a conundrum.
I dated a guy who was the type of guy who looked his best only when necessary. I have to admit when he puts his mind to it, with little effort he looks like a million bucks, pardon the cliché. On the day to day he is not that charming. He is a brain who spends all his time doing things like, work, computer games, and watching Startreck. He however demanded that I keep the house clean, the bedroom tidy and provide dinner whenever he could not or did not feel like cooking. I had no qualms with this, but when you spend a good amount of time looking your best, Hair treatments, Facials, pedicures, manicures, makeup when necessary, and occasionally getting teeth whitened, It is a bit off putting when a man who is wearing the same outfit as yesterday comes at you for sex, or pouts because it’s been a week since you have had sex and he wants a blow job.
Why kiss a man whose mouth never smells minty fresh, or cuddle when he smells not so clean. Is it wrong to try and keep some distance between you and this man who on average is a bit of a cave man? I enjoy being whisked of my feet by prince charming at least once a week.
There are some things that should never be negotiable, Daily showering, brushing of one’s teeth and using mouthwash and floss, combing hair, wearing the same outfit and socks two days in a row is never ok. Certain measures are taken to ensure that one looks and smells his best and if these measures are not taken seriously then distance is the inevitable outcome.
Proper decorum is also the biggest turn on anyone could ask for. A man who says please and thank you, one who excuses himself from the table for bodily functions and says excuse me by habit when air comes out from other places than the nose. A man who never slurps, or chews with his mouth open or eats with his fingers is not a nicety it is a necessity.
I never understood why such habits exist. Why do some parents allow, smacking lips and slurping? They are disgusting sounds and should never be herd. There are certain things that people do to show that they care for and respect those around them, Proper Table manners, Social etiquette, and Proper Hygiene are among the top important. There is no point in time that someone should deviate from these. It is called being rude for a reason to, showing inconsideration is the same as showing disrespect.
So with all of this said what would you do if you did your best to, appear, smell, conduct yourself in a proper fashion but there are one or two men in your life that do not, such as a boyfriend?
