    This seems like a golden opportunity to fuck with him in subtle ways. How many girls things can you disguise?

    It took me until the early 2020s to realize that men even have body washes in the first place.

    Keep in mind that I abandoned broadcast TV around 2001 or 2002, so I completely cut all commercials out of my life.

    Then when the first adblocker became available for Phoenix (later Firebird, then Firefox) around 2004, I was all over that like white on rice. So since 2004 the only ads I have had to suffer were when I set up a new system whose browsers needed configuring, and later once my browser protections became too strict and I needed a “naked” web browser for user-hostile sites that tied spyware and near-malware into site-critical functionality.

    So I have been “out of the advertising loop” for a very long time, and always saw bodywash as a female thing. I quite literally never “got the memo” that body washes came for men.

    And I’m not likely to get any, either. And not for any stupidly sexist reasons - after five decades on this rock, I am just habituated on bars of soap. I just don’t like the showering/soaping-up experience without bar soap.

    Only a bitch ass baby boy cares what it smells like over being clean. It’s not a permanent solution so why care? What’s more manly, a man who is scared of a scent, or one who can deal with a scent they don’t like for a wash or two?

    Bro Soap. Manly soap for manly men, no chemicals that will make you gay or turn you into a woman. Comes in wood pine and musky tusk. Real men don’t bathe, but when you must, use Bro Soap. No homo.

    I’ve never understood thr gendering of stuff like this.

    Like bro, soap is soap. I rather smell like roses and lavender than a mix of industrial shit and BO.

    A good 20% of the appeal in actually dating women is getting to use their forbidden female bath products every once in a while when your 11 in 1 manboy all purpose body scrub, shampoo, conditioner, lubricant, fuel oil, anti seize, weed killer, bug repellent, fire starter, persevative, and paint stripper runs out.

      As a guy with long hair, I’ve learned to just roll my eyes at the gendering of hair products. The all in one shit is made with the assumption that it’s being used on short hair that’ll be chopped off in a few months max, so it doesn’t need to preserve anything. Long hair has to last years.

        Same. To be fair it’s an easy choice for me, why would I want to smell like some nebulous XXXFUEL, SPORTS PISS, or MOUNTAIN JUNK when I could smell like a bakery instead? Apple and cinnamon poo and condish? Yes please. Vanilla leave-in? Give!

          I may or may not have found that women hugged me longer and smelled my hair if I used something the smelled good. I also used conditioner with my long hair and had many women running their fingers through it.

          It was nice. Short hair is so much easier, though.

            This is fair. It’s a fairly common term in certain circles (which I’ll keep intentionally vague as to let your minds delight and/or reel in horror at the possibilities) so I didn’t give it much thought.
