Fellas, I hate to disappoint, says Esme Gordon Craig, but skipping a shower will not make you irresistible to women – no matter what the internet tells you

    It encourages men to skip showers, avoid deodorant, wear sweaty clothes, and even drink their own urine before dates (I wretched upon learning this). The flawed logic is that this will raise a man’s “natural pheromone level”, making him not just more sexy but actually biologically irresistible to us women.

    Why does every crazy ideology always end up back at drinking piss?

      “Bah! To hell with this! Get my razor! Draw a bath! And get these Kleenex boxes off my feet!”

      “Certainly, sir! And, uh, the jars of urine?”

      “Ooh… we’ll hang on to those.”

      They say handsome is as handsome does. Turns out, same vice-versa

        Literally just physiognomy

          Alright, next time you use a common colloquialism I’ll strip away all the context and we’ll see how you do.

            … Your literal context is physiognomy, while the saying could at least be argued to be about grooming and behavior instead.

              I don’t see where anyone brought up physiognomy. Are you saying I did? Look up the meaning of the idiom, it’s the exact diagonal opposite.

      If I kissed a guy and he tasted like urine, he’d be lucky if I didn’t vomit in his mouth.

      Because it’s sterile, and they like the taste.

        It’s an interesting strategy.
