I'm back from the shops. PS: If you're with a mate who has chronic BO direct him to the deodorant aisle asap. I was nearly fucking sick 🤢

It's bad out there 🤷‍♀️

maybe good antiperspirant and good laundry soap is too expensive?

Stay home then.

I wonder if dude 1 was overcompensating for dude 2 because one was bathed in fragrance and the other one overpowered him.

There’s currently an idiotic TikTok trend of pheromone maxxing where young boys think if they don’t shower they will be extra attractive to women. They are about to be very disappointed 🤮

The max pheromone thing has been around for many years. Napoleon had a thing about it too. Coming back from one campaign, he wrote to Josephine saying that he'd be there in a couple of weeks, and please don't wash.

The real max pheromone technique apparently is to wash/shower with water only, but not to use soap. The soap removes the pheromones, but plain water doesn't - even hot water. So it's possible to be clean but also to do the pheromone thing if that's your jam. Not washing at all just ain't it - totally disgusting imo.

Why am I not surprised something like that is coming out of Tik Tok. I swear that thing is malicious misinformation at this point

Maybe it's to take competition out of the game?

Who knows. If they buy into it those specimens probably should stay out of the gene pool
