    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.

      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.

      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)

    The fact that much of the world has defined masculinity as “rugged, raw, and remorseless rock n’ roll” is just wild to me.

    Imagine denying yourself the ability to enjoy flowery scents and having emotions just to prove that you have a penis.

      You don’t even need to have emotions while using a scented body wash. You can just go “ah, roses, cool” and get on with it.

      There is a legitimate reason to prefer something else. I would also want something that provides freshness in a minty/salty/whatever way. Roses do smell nice, but I would rather have something associated with icy/sporty freshness. But assuming it’s feminine just because it smells like flowers… consult renaissance folks.

      Seriously. For some people cooking, baking, sewing, cleaning, doing the dishes, laundry are all for women and not “manly”. A “manly man” is then someone who cannot take care of himself at all and needs a mother/nanny substitute his whole life just to survive. And that’s somehow “strong”???

      If one of us is going out, we ask the other to grab whatever we need, since we share the place.

        Which is nice when the item in question is like “onions” or “apples”. Things that don’t have a ton of variety or choice.

        There are so many soaps and he seems like a little bitch, the kind that will want to smell each one to make sure it’s manly.

          I don’t really care about all the options I’d say get me Body Wash bro and id be happy with almost all scents. Maybe mint isn’t great as it feels cold, but I’d still be appreciative and it’s on me to say any but mint.

          I’m not trying to be a dick about it but I love that you used apples and onions as an example of things with minimal variety when one of those is the most varied product class in the produce department. For onions there are red, green, white, yellow, and shallots. Most of those are different enough that you’d see and taste a swap out immediately. Then, with apples, there are so many varieties at this point, even without including the more niche varieties, a well supplied produce department can have an entire section just for types of apples. They could probably be knocked down into half a dozen categories but many people will be able to differenciate them enough to complain. Most other things are relatively unvaried, maybe a binary split, some a literal monoculture, but those two…

    It’s up to him to decide for himself what he considers to be manly.
    However, considering a certain type of shower product to be for a bitch, seems a bit insecure to me. This is in addition to being rather ungrateful for being offered to use the product
