Pheromones don’t smell bad, guys. Not showering smells bad.

Everyone, take a shower, scrub down with lots of soap and hot water (none of this body wash crap). Get dry, and fail to apply deodorant. Sniff your armpits. They don’t smell bad, do they? Read a book for an hour or so, sniff ‘em again. They still don’t smell bad! If they do, you need to take another shower because you’ve let too much gunk build up and one shower was not enough to remove it all. What you smell is natural human musk; it’s a warm, pleasant scent. Lots of people like the smell (when my ex and I snuggled, her head kind of nuzzled near my armpit) but don’t recognize it for what it is because we mentally equate armpits with stink.

What’s the cause of this misunderstanding between our natural chemicals and our easily offended noses? I place the blame on crust punks. There are many of us who say "pheromones attract the opposite sex. Therefore, shampoo and scented soaps and colognes/perfumes are not what attract the opposite sex. Therefore, I will not shower." *Buzz* Wrooooong. It’s true, you probably can’t smell natural pheromones too acutely underneath an overwhelming cloud of perfume. But you sure as hell can’t smell it underneath an overwhelming cloud of Pigpen. So hey, I mean, you don’t have to wear deodorant, or cologne, or any of that shit…as long as you shower every day with regular, unscented soap.

nice touch either way. :lol:

If she somehow manages it, I’ll just drink all her favourite perfumes in revenge…

In my own personal study, I prefer a clean man to a stinky one. :wink:
