Should men wear scented lotion?

[Hithlain]

I don't mind it if my man smells fabulous. It's better than man sweat or something.


Plus having hands like a dinosaur's skin is a big turn off XD

It's okay, as long as it smells nice (and dosn't have like glitter in it, that might be a little....girly).

The question of whether we should wear scented lotion is entirely up to personal opinion. Would we would be a better question.

I don't use it, primarily because my skin is naturally smooth enough that I don't have to use it in the first place. And I've found that just a tiny amount of a particular array of scented oils attracts more people than cologne or lotion. Then again, I only get said oils once a year at the Renaissance Festival down in Georgia.

Smelling good isn't a bad thing. Most of the time, nobody can even tell you smell that way, and if they can, then they stand far too close to you.

I concur.

Scented lotion on a man isn't "bad." It can be seen as feminine, sure, but at least you're taking care of your skin. There are plenty of non-scented lotions out there that do wonders. I use Jergens for sensitive skin. Keeps me soft. ^.^

To another angle, I don't really like my man's skin to be silky smooth - I think a man should have some roughness to him.

If the scent bugs you, find another lotion - there are plenty out there.

I would say it matters very little, In fact I would say worrying about rather you smell like strawberry's or lemons is much more of a problem then smelling of either. Not trying to be spiteful but really either or is perfectly fine.

Believe me when I say tons of women out there like me would sigh with relief knowing there are still some(1 to 2) men out there who are men and do not care about lotion smells.

To another angle, I don't really like my man's skin to be silky smooth - I think a man should have some roughness to him.

I agree with you on that

Yes...but in my eyes, today's youth find the "good" smell to be something I consider to be disgusting(AKA all the perfume and axe). Why be scented when you could just not smell?

It's only disgusting if it is really overpowering. Like they bathe in it or something

There's a difference between unscented deodorants and the heavy scents of lotions, sprays and perfumes.

Is there though? Isn't it just a semantic and an arbitrary delivery system away from being the same thing? My deoderant is scented and it can be applied as liberally as I like. I like it when women smell good, not when they smell like flesh & cigarettes.

Unscented is nothing but odor neutralizers, many deodorants DO have perfumes in them tho.

There's nothing wrong with it. At least, I don't think there is. I fail to see the problem with smelling man-pretty.

That last word is all that needs to be said to see the problem.

No man should be pretty. Ever.

Exactly.

Unless he's Sephi-pretty. If you want to be a pretty-boy, please use the following formula:
30% pretty + 70% masculine

At least your masculinity will overpower your girlishness. *shudder* It's acceptable up to that point.

depends what it smells like
I'd dig a fresh car smell

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Between the natural Raw smell of a human being and a artificially scented one, I think the latter will be far more popular with other people, especially women.

You will only get a handful of women who enjoy your natural odour, and the rest will most probably prefer you to smell nice when you are near them, and I'm sure you feel the same, no?

Where whatever the hell you like. If someone comments on it, tell them to blow you. It's only when you get self conscious of wearing something that you seem like less of a man.
