    How much longer until the manosphere drops pursuing women and just goes full homosexual? They seem to like other men more already. They should just come out of the closet already.

      imagine if they all just realized they’re gay and started kissing each other, i cannot possibly imagine a better outcome for literally all of humanity

      they get to actually be happy, everyone else doesn’t have to put up with their nonsense any longer.

    It encourages men to skip showers, avoid deodorant, wear sweaty clothes, and even drink their own urine before dates (I wretched upon learning this). The flawed logic is that this will raise a man’s “natural pheromone level”, making him not just more sexy but actually biologically irresistible to us women.

    Why does every crazy ideology always end up back at drinking piss?

          If I use perfume at all, it will be the least noticable thing possible. I want to be noticed as little as possible in real life.

          So I want to not smell at all, if possible. I like that stinging nettle nonsense for some reason, so I use that shampoo. Mentol is cool too.

          Just nothing to either be sexy or repulsive from.

          Fresh sweat really is full of pheromones and can smell really sexy.

          Its when that sweat gets stale you start to get the classic rancid BO smell.

            No study has conclusively isolated or identified human sex pheromones, although various researchers have investigated the possibility of their existence.

              Maybe not pheromones, but fresh sweat does have an odor, and it’s a sexy one. It quits being sexy once it gets rancid, though. Of course, there are some people who get turned on by bad body odor, but that’s rare.

                It’s not a problem to smell like a man.

                It is a problem to smell like the excrement of the microbiome that lives ON a man.

        I suspect that it works because she is your wife. BO works a lot better on your 101st date than it does on your 1st date. It is not about your armpits having an alluring scent, but the fact that the scent reminds your wife of times she got you all sweaty and stinky. It calls back to driving home after a long hike or snuggling with you on a cold winter day. It is a scent that she is used to smelling when she is looking at someone she loves.

        Fresh sweat is sexy, but sweat goes from sexy to funky pretty damn quick. This is because the bad odor isn’t caused by the sweat itself but by bacteria in your sweat.

            It could be your diet or it could be genetics. Or both. I had a roommate like that. As soon as it got hot, he started stinking. He would take a shower, but as soon as he started sweating again, he stank. I think in his case it was diet, because he ate lots of meat and no vegetables.

              Yeah but it’s not like I start sweating all that bad, so I don’t think it’s the meat sweats. Probably balanced out by the fact that my diet is actually weirdly balanced. But yeah it’s probably genetics, doesn’t explain why it smells like gunpowder and motor oil though.

          Could be, but it’s more likely that the sweat is still fresh and hasn’t turned into BO yet. Sweat doesn’t get stinky until you let it sit for a bit.

    I mean, it makes sense. The manosphere is above all else, a grift. If someone who’s listening to the podcasts and buying the online courses actually gets a girlfriend and realizes how stupid it all is, they’re not going to keep giving the grifters money. The point is to keep them single, angry, and blaming women.

    (I wretched upon learning this).

    Oof. That’s a terrible typo to make.

    Retched is what you did before puking, and wretched means “miserable” or “dismal”.

      WTF?

      That is a new one for me. Only problem is some females don’t realize how bad their secretions smell.

      If any part of a woman other than her vagina smelled like vagina,… no thanks.

      it’s like people are only capable of comprehending extremes; either you scrub every millimeter of your body with hydrochloric acid, or you never clean yourself and in fact smear yourself in actual dogshit.

      god forbid we just… shower with water and use a bit of gentle soap if we’re really dirty…
