What aftershave do you use?

How do you actually acquire these ?

I'd feel a little .. fruity .. hanging around the perfume counter testing fragrances. Gifts from female friends ? Or do you just need to flex your modern metro sexuality ?

I'm not being funny, I'm curious !

When you grow up you will realise that shopping for aftershave is far from gay.

I'm fully confortable with my sexuality to be able to test out new fragrances to find out what I like and not be bothered by what others think.

The only people who would call you 'gay' for it are 15 year old chavs :p

I'll look forward to that, but I hope In growing up and developing these sophisticated tastes I don't become rude and arrogant.

I'm guessing you are about 16 from your thoughts on purchasing aftershave.
Therefore growing up is something that would be expected of you.

90% of the time, no. I much prefer it when they aren't draped in cosmetics as well. Anybody who takes care of their body is beautiful to someone.

agree, makeup and perfume should compliment the woman, not overpower

Certain smells release chemicals within the body which stimulates it (don't know the proper term for this)

I don't like girls that have far too much make up on, I don't like fake girls in any way shape or form, I detest fake eyelashes.

However, perfume, the one which ticks the boxes for your brain, nose etc...nothing beats it :)

And taking care of their body and their natural beauty has sod all to do with stimulating smells :p - none of my friends smell and have horrible body odours, they all look after their bodys well, as do I...but a bit of perfume is a great thing. :)

Which ever is the closest when I reach for it in the morning.

I remember liking the smell of an aftershave with "blue" in the name. It might be that Hugo Boss, although I think it was probably Calvin Klein. :confused:

I agree that an overpowering aftershave wouldn't be ideal. Anyone like Allure Homme Sport? I've heard it is subtle and smells nice.

Perfume can't do that to you, it's the person wearing it. Haven't there been several studies that show that the more 'genetically compatible' (meaning, the larger the difference in genomes, the better the chance of the offspring you produce being immune to a wider range of diseases, along with some other benefits) you are then the more appealing you find someone's body scent. It doesn't matter what perfume they're wearing unless it completely overpowers them, similarly two people can wear the same perfume and yet you could find one brilliant and the other horrible.

These sorts of products simply serve to convince people that they aren't good enough as they are, when really they're brilliant.

Definately, but it DOES compliment the person, increasing stimulation...along with whatever else.

The last bit I found interesting...about the same perfume on 2 people and it being nice on one and not so nice on another...never thought of it that way. Might have to test that theory one day :p :)

Agree about the overpowering of perfume though...can't stand that, as I said earlier, along with fake this, fake that etc etc

If they add confidence, wheres the issue?
 
i'm not really all that in perfume on girls, but i've never really been all that into smell anyway.

the only things I like the smell of is Food, Fire, volatile hydrocarbons, my cat and wood.

consequentially, i don't wear perfume myself but on a first date i'd probably make the effort - first impressions and all that :)

In that it creates the lack of confidence in the first place.

Only if you become dependent on it?

I only wear mine when I go out but I don't NEED to wear it, but I like to wear it, it adds confidence because I know people like it, but like I said it's not an issue in the slightest if I don't.

Like everything, its good in proportion...
 
So it's just one more thing to put money in the pockets of someone else. If it had never existed then would anybody's life be changed in any way shape or form? Probably not.
