A very worrying trend I agree.
If these companies relied on the likes of me to make their big fat profits, they'd be out of business PDQ.

If they took me as a case study they wouldn't have bothered setting up in business to start with.

Mostly the younger generation methinks who are dumb enough to swallow all these stupid ads.
The way things are going we'll be turning into a nation of fairies pretty damned soon.

I only use Dior Farenheight...............including the shower gel.

It started a few years ago, when I was given a set, and since then everyone buys me the same thing, I have got enought to last me till the day I croak, and at the moment I am accumluating more than I use.

Does that mean we could see an end to all the middle aged men who seem to take pride in being as unkempt, badly dressed and out of shape as possible, whilst remaining convinced that any female who manages not to find them irresistible must be a lesbian? Bring it on!

Wrights Coal Tar soap has done me well over the decades all over the world, the only concession nowadays is H&S shampoo and thats because you can no longer get the old coal tar shampoo.

The BH uses this and that and is always attacked by mozzies and other flying things but I rarely get nibbled.
Scented preparations attract the flying things.

If you're a sturdily built Brit, sweating it out in 40 degrees on a daily basis, you owe it to yourself and those near to you to spray something on your body to alleviate the natural smell of sweat, soap isn't enough.

Women especially should make an effort to smell nice, even if it means nicking the men's aftershave once in a while.

I think there might just be a few of the female species that might just squeeze into that category! Advantage is us men can do it without spending any money on clothes, haircuts, fashion, cosmetics, shoes etc, whereas women can spend an absolute fortune, think they look the dog's, but don't.

You mean they they think they're the dogs bollox, but they only look like dawgs ?

Mutton dressed as lamb is always easy to recognise, no matter how much they spend on pollyfiller, paint and smelly stuff.

Soap with a good scrubbing brush is fine if applied regularly

I've read on more than one occasion that men's natural body odour is a stimulant to women's sexual desires, though they may not realise it at the time.

Why chuck a heap of money down the drain and spoil a good thing ?

Monkeys apparently pee on themselves and rub it in, it's irresistible to the females, have you tried that! Intentionally, I mean!

We were at the checkout in Mercadona yesterday behind a man who must have read the same thing. His BO was so strong we had to stand well back - trouble was he was one of those who wanted to stay chatting to the cashier instead of picking up his shopping and b*****ing off, so we were trying to pack our shopping whilst holding our breath.
