    Soap is soap - Body Wash / Shampoo are just soap.

    When the soap is gone, break out the water rinsed soap bottle

    When that is gone, break out the dish soap

    When that is gone, just jump into the swimming pool until you have time to go shopping.

    Would I prefer not to have fufu fancy soap? Sure, but i’m not going to waste money by ignoring it.

    I’m still half way through a bottle of industrial hand soap i use in the shower… it’s lasted over a year at this point. None of my tinder dates have complained

    It sounds like this guy needs SLAM LOTION! The best sunscreen for manly men that want to suntan like a man!!!

    And if you didn’t know…it’s a real thing. I just learned about it today.

    Maybe he just does not want to TOUCH the unmanly bodywash. Try offering him that you will be applying it. And you save water too.

    Nothing is good. In my culture people don’t use a lot of parfumes. Mostly anti-perspirats.

    It’s always a pain to meet foreign representatives that use aftershave and parfumes like it was a mosquito repellant and leave behind a trail that is still detectable 15 min after they’re gone.

    What cracks me up is that toxic people my age would say that if your going to lather up with a body wash and exfoliating sponge you may as well invite your boyfriend into the shower with you.

    Bruh I’d steal my sister’s shampoo. I never gave a quarter of a fuck. It was cool though because women would tell me I smell nice.

      Being told I smell nice is why I’ve used women’s soap and deodorant since I was small. I would rather smell vaguely like a field of wildflowers, a warm summer breeze, and fresh-washed linens than whatever the fuck Axe is meant to be a gun in a pine forest (edit courtesy of /u/Stern)

      Right? Dude just spurned one of the easiest ways to get a comment from a girl, smelling like something girls would likely choose as a candle scent or other aromatic. Dude would probably rather smell like aged free-range bull piss “for the pheromones” or some shit.

    I mean… I prefer my bar soap to my wife’s body wash. But if it was down to the body wash or nothing, I’d go with the body wash. Same with her shampoo.

      I’ve settled on soaps that don’t aggravate my psoriasis and have an agreeable scent. They do happen to be “men” soaps, but absent another option or if I’m not at home, then I was with what’s available.

      The only exception is my beard wash/oil/balm. I bring that shit with me.

      Yeah, I shave my head fairly routinely (damn genetics) and a bar of soap is generally fine for head, face, and body. Though if I’m growing my beard out past the “scruff” level my wife generally likes, I’ll apply some beard oil there.

      I have definitely used some “girly” body wash in a pinch though.

      Hell yeah. I’ve got a “manlier” job than most people and I love smelling good. My wife and I share shampoo and I’ve used her body wash plenty.

      Toxic roommate can @ me as I sit in my personal work van stocked with tools. Better yet he can hire me to fix his house 😂 or, I suppose, his landlord can hire me. Either way

    Used to do IT for a small meat packing plant; would shoot the shit with the warehouse guys whenever they came in for a break. Bunch of 20-something guys slinging 20-60 pound boxes of meat all day.

    Power went out one time, and we’re all sitting around waiting to see if the power is going to come back quickly enough that we don’t need to start unloading all the inventory; and one of them expressed a need to use the facilities. I told him the bathroom was right there; it didn’t need power to flush.

    There were no windows, and he didn’t want to end up peeing all over the floor.

    I pointed out that if he sat down, he wouldn’t need to aim.

    “I’m not gonna sit to pee!”

    “Dude, it’s not like it’s gonna fall off.”

    It might!

      i love sitting down to pee. with a penis, even. standing up takes effort. sitting does not. i can dribble off in the toilet instead of on my pants. i can check my phone quick. i can sit instead of stand. pee flows out better sitting down so i strain less. i don’t have to stand elbow to elbow with a stranger holding his dick, too literally ever. the pros are quite good.

      the only bad thing is apparently some men think it’s not manly! but im gay sooo oh nooooo anything but that. also sometimes the water is too high and the tip of your dick might touch but really this barely ever happens. I’m tall anyways, so when i use a urinal my dick is squished up by the top rim most of the time anyways which i find gross too.

      Stories like these and the multiple ones about dudes not wiping after they shit gives me serious pause when considering my other cis hets’ mental faculties. Shiiiit, I usually only go once a day in the morning but it my crack is itching I’ll wet down some toilet paper just to make sure I got everything. Do these weirdos actually enjoy having an itchy ass‽

        More fun facts.

        Many men don’t wash their ass in the shower because it’s considered gay.

        Also 1/3rd of Americans and Europeans only change their bed sheets once a year.

          Prolly cuz of how much time and energy it takes. I have a larger washer and it’s 2 loads minimum to wash my fucking set

          JFC we really are doomed. Maybe we deserve it if something as basic hygiene is considered to determine your sexual orientation! Like really‽ If anything, to me, it’s a matter of comfort. Do they expect a significant other to do it for them? This kinda thinking is so far outside my wheelhouse that I’m actually feeling discomfort trying to empathize with them!

      I think that other guy was joking and the problem was, I dunno, fearing to stumble when standing up.

        I think it was mostly the fact that if he did go at that point, the other warehouse guys would decide he had indeed sat down to pee, regardless of what actually happened.

      How would he handle things if he needs to pee and poo? Like, does he do one, switch positions, and then the other? It just sounds super inconvenient and involved.

        Thats the worst. Stand to pee, let out a fart while peeing, fart turns into turtlehead, finish peeing, immediately have to sit down with face in fart cloud.

      As a cis man, I sometimes pee sitting down but only at home, never in a public bathroom. I go as far as lifting the toilet seat with my foot. The less contact the better. Maybe if I touched the bowl with my dick it would fall off, not taking any chances

    Gonna be honest, women body/hair shampoos smell way better than men shampoo in many cases imo. Nah, I don’t wanna smell like BLUE STEEL or REALLY RIPPED ABS. Bruh, nah. Plus all of them smell soo artificial too… Atm I use a vanilla scented hair wash. Idgaf, i like how it smells.

    Don’t even get me started on axe body sprays/body washes, i still get PTSD flashbacks from my highschool change rooms.

      The cologne I used to wear had leading notes of lavendar and cracked pepper. A good rule of thumb is masculine scents tend to incorporate wood or spice notes, where feminine scents are straight floral or fruit notes.
