Men's Cologne: Manly or Not Manly?

What do you think of men's cologne? Do you wear it?

In the tiniest of amounts it can be ok, but nobody likes a ManWhore.

I thought that went out with the '70s. Unfortunately not though I guess. Men shouldn't smell like anything, and if they insist on having an aroma, it should be of fabric softener.

I would say it has nothing to do with being manly or not but more with just smelling nice and some would even say professional. Even if you do clean yourself and wear deodorant that only clears you for smelling like BO. The hustle and bustle of daily life can still leave you smelling like other things. Just being outside on a nice day leaves a certain smell on you. Cologne is a good way to control that. I personally dont use it but thats because its too expensive for me at this point.

I use Old Spice body spray.

It voted not manly but to each their own.

Seems to me the cologne industy is nothing but a scam to get men to buy their products.

As long as you're clean and you don't stink, why bother with anything else.

Its ok as long as you don't fkn bathe in it. I hate smelling other peoples perfume.

Not quite. If someone wants to smell pretty, go for it but personally, I think its effeminate and off putting but that's just me.

Now a woman who smells nice, that's something else.

It's manlier than wearing actual perfume that's for sure.metroidprime55

It's the same thing as perfume, the only difference is marketing.

Its only manly if its not too much, and depends on how you put it on. 2 sprays on your neck then one on your wrists and rub together.MgamerBD

Chicks that I've seen and been with dig it, so gonna go with manly. Just buy something that smells nice for the rest of us guys. When I walk into a club and smell that axey/reallyexpensivebutsmellslikesh1t cologne smell, it can be overpowering.

men cologne is actually pretty professional to wear. Also b!tches love cologne so that means I love it too.

Cologne, aftershave, whatever--a good smelling man is an incredible turn-on.

Damn right.

As a manly man who wears manly cologne I declare that manly cologne is manly... man.

Body spray can do the job aswell and not be so strong while doing it.-Renegade

Every now and then I'll pass by another guy who I think has a nice smelling cologne on, so one day I went to Macy's to find something similar. I tested out every single cologne they had and I still couldn't find even one that resembled the ones I smell on other people.

I ended up getting Calvin Klein Intense Euphoria, which is nice, but still not what I was looking for.

I'm wondering if maybe it wasn't cologne at all, but aftershave. Unfortunately, I don't wear aftershave.

It's been shown that women love the smell of a mans sweat, so the question is...why would you wear cologne?

Ask a woman.

Seriously.

And I thought that I was the only woman in the world that liked the smell of a little bit of a man's persperation.

OMG... that is soooo true... My hubby was a bit sweaty this morning ad I was aroused and repelled at the same time

There is nothing sexier than a man dripping with sweat. It makes you just wanna......ya know.

Absolutely true. Thing is, it isn't actually the sweat that gets me going, it's the natural musk that gets released caused by sweating. Sweat itself just smells hideous but man musk is rather nice.

After 17 yrs of marriage, there is nothing that smells better than my husbands neck after he's been working in the sun.

there's this guy at work ... his sweat drives me wild ... unexpected, curious ... he is stinky, musky after working outdoors. Nice fantasy.

And so on...

It depends. If your already with the woman then it's understandable, but not all women seem to appreciate the smell..Though I did have this encounter when I was in middle school...Truf89

From my experience, the most important part is to get sweaty doing something for them. "Hey, your grass is getting high. Want me to take care of that for you?"

Get it done, come in for a glass of water, and hover around her. :D
