Also, I like Canoe. Not because its good, because my dad bought it for me in junior high to use for the formal. Still have it, cuz I never use it.

You're trying way too hard to be something you're not. Android phones aren't going to make you a man. :)

Actually, iPhone users get laid more. Though, it doesn't make a difference what kind of phone Trident owns.

Perhaps a modern shower would be great introduction to your hygiene. I recommend Lowes to start.

Clearly I take showers you clown but when I'm done with a shift I have none available to me immediately and I smell "like a man". Men are manly and do masculine things, like hard labor. To wear nothing, even a "mild deodorant" is a joke. The other homosexual in this thread agrees au naturale man is unappealing.

Haven't worn a cologne since I was 17. The only guys I know who still do appear to be lower class and I'll walk by them in a store or something. Granted, they do smell good, but this is just what I've noticed. The demographic for cologne is probably 2% rich guys and 98% guys who works in the service industry at $11/hour.

"Hi Karate" is excellent and is $350.00 a truckload. So who wears more cologne, Apple guys or Intel dudes, since we are on a computer forum talking about smell good?

Well, Hai Karate is no longer made...doubt a cologne that promoted beating down women would even fly today.

Most thought it sucked though, however; it sells for a high price to collectors.

You *wink* saying you are coming out of the *wink* closet?
Are you getting fresh on me? But, seeing your SO, you'd probably wanna turn gay by now (not saying you're not already are).

Yeah, low blow but, whatever.

BTW what's funny about that phone/sex list is how women are actually higher in number of partners whereas most guys think they are the real players.

BUT, let's be honest, and ask if anybody is actually sexually attracted to cologne or perfume?

I've heard at least a couple different women comment about how certain colognes turn them on.

BUT, let's be honest, you're just believing what you want to believe.

And people using colognes doesn't mean they have poor hygiene. That's a ridiculously ignorant statement.

Colognes should be about how it smells on you, how it blends with your chemistry so that the person that's smelling you like it, and how YOU like smelling it on you. It's not about how much it cost, silly person.

Colognes are very personal, and they can't be "reviewed".

Best advice so far...It's not about "what's good or not", it's about what you like or not...

When I need to buy a cologne/perfum for a gift, I always ask a person what she/he likes...

You can not buy to anyone because it's popular or expensive...I've got as a gift Creed Santal, about $200/125ml.

I like CLASSIC - Aramis, Cristian Dior Sauvage, Van Cleef TZAR

F by Ferragamo is very good- I like...


No need to take much attention to faggy posts like from ZenO...
Some people like to eat @ McDonalds only and use Irish Spring for bathing...
Some people like to eat caviar and raw oysters and use colognes...

The question is, with whom? Most of the people here in San Francisco *wink* uses iPhone. That should tell you something *wink*.

Well, the survey was done thru OKCupid which I assume did their survey national. Let me guess, you own an iPhone and still can't get any?

Nah, Mrs. Sssnail and I both own Android phones, we're smarter than that. And, I'm willing to bet I've had more tails than you, even though you're probably twice as old as I am.

And, metrosexuals and busy bees tend to care about online surveys.

I didn't know you were doing better.

BTW no one is going to pick the 'good pics' to throw up as evidenced by other's just of me that were floating around a while.

But for the record, that was at Epcot after running around all day at Disney and she didn't get made up at all for that. Also I doubt most would peg her at 45 or so in those pics. She's turning 50 next month and me 40.

She works in a 20-something clothing store doing their visual design...most can't tell her from the other late teen to 20-ish old people there when she's ready.

I am willing to be my first wife would out scale most's chicks though.

I didn't pick a wife based on her being a supermodel though. There is a lot more to it than that especially when you remarry in your 30's.

No doubt you may have had more 'tails' (who the fuck calls it tails, it's tail)...doubt most of us would want them, and I have taken back-wash a few nights.

Sounds like the guy that goes back to his reunion and talks about all the ass he got 'back in the day' when everyone that knew him them knows he never went out.

dude, you still have mybrute.com as a signature...and you are calling people metrosexual and busybees? fuck man, fuck.

If I'm twice as old as you, you're married and still in high school? Then no, you definitely haven't had more tail than me.

Busy Bee? You're the one that felt offended by an online survey to try and explain it, in a post not even directed to you. HS vacation is over, time to bed for you.

rofl... we got alky here that cares way too much about trivial shits (you set yourself up to be owned over and over, stop it, I'm getting embarrassed for you man), and caveman with wit of a gnat (you wouldn't know sarcasm if it hits you on your forehead - think of my post quoting you, add a touch of sarcasm to it). Carry on.

Caveman, from your post you sound like an old hag (my guess was you're in your 60's, but I could be wrong, it's been known to happen before). Doesn't matter how old you are though, I still had more tails and that much I'm confident of. Yeah, I was that international playboy that you wish you could have been. :cool:

I own Creed Green Irish (as well as 5 other Creed colognes)


It's a great scent (I use it as my shit kicker scent) but not strong in the sense it'll linger there for over 5 hours (like the Jean Paul Gutier vanilla shit that stays on for days on end).


I'm a big fan of the Creed stuff b/c of their unique scents and potency (aside of the Green Irish). This is why this exclusive brand is popular with the celebrity crowd.


Try the Silver Mountain and Himalaya scents. Women will stick on you like velcro!

In all fairness, no one is assuming sarcasm from a nitwit...

Also I am hardly embarrassed by anything here. You do realize all the stuff that gets brought up is because I have provided it. I don't live under a rock and then make up the life I wish to portray online.

We all seriously doubt you have much experience at all with women, this is evident in your posts. You got laid finally, as able to be on your own and decided that was going to be a wife.

No one calls it 'tails', that's the first sign you are making it up. You chase 'tail', you get 'tail', you have gotten a lot of 'tail' in your day...those are the expressions if that's what you are using.

I don't know how many you really had but I have lost count and forgotten most of their names...I am sure CC is in about the same boat.

You don't call it "tails" because all you've ever gotten was "tail", get it? But yeah, we all know of your ninja-like prowess with just about every aspects of life. Why do I even bother arguing with you? Seriously. I should bow down to your superiority from the on set of every posts you ever make. How does this forum ever contain your awesomeness?

What's your day to day out of those and would a Creed product work for a day to day fragrance?
