Chicas singing the Spanish equivalent to you? Must be pheromones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6inwzOooXRU

simply put:
colones vs cologne,
colones win

I did say, "If I understood the OP correctly...". In other words, it's HIS position. I have no personal experience with pheromones products.

I will say this though: (cologne + appearance/attitude/etc. + colones) vs colones = the cologne team wins by a landslide.

Amen to that, MH ! That was precisely what I was talking about, but guess I rambled on too much, and distracted some of the brothers here.

That answers the question. Thanks to all for sharing their pearls of wisdom...

I hope you will continue to post

Just <please God> not on this subject

PS Sorry to burst your bubble - drenching yourself in Aqua Velva, or 'Lectrick Shave is not gonna get you a discount - but scrubbing up with Dial or Ivory soap will make you a lot more attractive to the ladies

You folks have one-track minds, don't you? THAT'S NOT WHAT THE OP SAID!!!

Not to mention being stuck in the sixties as denoted by your choice of fragrant products.

And don't come back and say you're busting our balls...

Scuba:

I deal in subtleties, both at Work and Personal affairs. The obvious is, but obvious. What is interesting to me is that which is not such. And therefore, I avoid extreme statements or for that matter thought processes such as 'drenching my self in whatever'. In my line of work, that would certainly put me in the queue for unemployment insurance in no time, and bankruptcy soon thereafter.

There is thus, no bubble to burst, just that I was interested in the value of 'using a drop' of the liquid along with a 'dash' (mind you, not even remotely close to drenching) of regular, good quality perfume, subtle enough to be scented, yet discreet enough not to be obviously noticed from a certain distance, as would be the case if I were to fumigate my house with 'Black Afgano by Nasomatto' (my personal favorite).

The finer points of dressing, grooming oneself, attitude and personality are but a given. These ladies are humans too, and though their commercial well being will always override any consideration of the above, if one were to observe that 'general physical and personality hygiene' (for lack of a better way to encapsulate it), in addition to meeting the 'colones' benchmark, I see no reason why an added dash of spice would not positively affect outcomes.

After all, when I compare the sticker price (60-100 USD) for a session, to the cost of a 15 ml bottle of the 'stuff' (about 55 USD) that lasts forever, I see no reasonable economic (or any other) argument to abstain. That, given my own personal experience with the 'stuff', albeit for 'regular women'. As someone correctly said earlier, it is about potentially enhancing the experience (howsoever marginally), for a cost that is next to nothing.

I certainly appreciate your vigor though. This kind of verbal sparring is quite appealing to me, so your thoughts are much appreciated. Keep it coming, brother!!!

J'ai fini. Rendez-vous dans un autre post.
Merci beaucoup.

I was serious about you continuing to post

I'm also glad you get my sense of humor - some don't

Continuing in the "serious" vein, I HATE perfume of any kind - especially something that some guys and gal's bath in - some are equally guilty; don't think it matters the sex - perhaps like me you have been subjected to being next to some woman who took a bath in Georgio - or some guy that thinks his after shave is better by the quart Always seems to happen in a slow, crowded elevator

Call me crazy, but the sweet smell of a woman minus any perfume, plus the faint odor of light perspiration is way more erotic than all the junk in the world combined (Except for 3 days in a month, when the odor gets really strong) !!!

That's because you really don't have one.

I know where this hatred comes from.

As you can probably tell by my CRT handle, I live in South Florida.

There is a certain segment of the population in South Florida - females mostly but also males - who habitually drench themselves in perfume/cologne. It is quite the challenge to get into an elevator with these folks. I've gotten uncontrollable coughing fits when I encounter a particularly fragrant offender.

Guess where Scuba1 lives?

mh

P.S. I personally love subtle colognes. I use it every day. But you'll never know I have it on unless you give me a hug. Or a BJ.

No thanks to either, but I agree with you. I have noticed that the older a gringa gets, the more perfume she uses.

I was in the food/bev biz in a subservient (and thus observant) role for many years, including some high-line places. Thus mixed on the job with gay men. To a man, they said the biggest barrier to intimacy with a woman was a woman's natural aroma. I personally get intoxicated by it (those three days can be got around with nose plugs. Trust me...and Lordy! Ain't the ladies grateful!) hence my habituation to DATY. My post may be jocular but this sure isn't a joke. "Non-monetary compensation " is how an economist might put it; "her eyes lighting up a little" is how I would. I sure bring it up in convos with Chicas and I've sure had some mighty fine responses. You're not just bringing money and a soul-less even ho-hum experience to the table, but a little something of yourself. Of course, if you want to pretend you are doing little more than running a drill-press...or consorting with human Accu-Jacs...

Same with guys. The older they get, the more they dowse themselves to kill the mothball smell that fabricates from years of abused skin.

I'll hug ya, Heller. Yer not too tall, are ya? Issue with Dwarfs is, all we can smell in crowded rooms is ASS!

UH, maybe a hug....but forget about the other thing

Actually, MH, my use of Aqua Velva and 'Lextric shave was for a reason - they smell like shit, so it was solely for the purpose of funning - I always figured you for an Old Spice, or English Leather kinda guy - or maybe Hai Karate (you are too young to remember those Terrible - yep, from the '60's - commercials - some Japanese guy fought off the girls with judo moves b/c he wore Hai Karate - actually pretty funny )

And yes....lets not be so phucking politically correct - its not just old cunts who LOVE perfume - its lots of girls in S FL - and also a lot of the Cuban males overdo the after shave too

Oye, Papi, un poquito MENOS es mucho mejor

Yeah, must be a real bitch having to use booty-wipes as nose cloths. My commiserations...and I promise to excise the gas the other way.
