Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle. I tend to just like the way a man smells (not body odor but just natural scent) and don’t usually like it covered up, but wow this guy tonight 🥵 I might might buy some but i figured it would be gay to ask him “what are you wearing” because that prob isn’t something the bros at the gym do.

I wear a small amount to the office so people don't smell my stinky feet

If you can get it at Dillards or Macy’s…how about don’t.

Go to Nordstrom, Saks, or Neiman’s and get something that you like.

Most of those sold at the low to mid tier dept stores are mass market and very pungent.

Although you might pay a bit more…it’ll be worth it 👍🏽

I’m not a fan of wearing cologne, it gives me a headache when I do, so I don’t even try anymore, I just wear a deodorant with a very subtle fragrance. On other men I feel there is a delicate balance between the right amount and bathing in cologne, most guys that like wearing cologne just bathe in it.

I tend to go for fragrances that could be classified as unisex because most colognes are too damn much

Yea it barely hit my nose … he wasn’t at the gym tonight tho 💔😞

I'm not a fan, but I have a really sensitive nose.

FWIW, one of my partners once adamantly accused me of wearing cologne, but I was just sweaty. Body smells can vary a *lot*!

Most of the time I'm sweaty I just smell bad. I don't really know what affects it, unfortunately :(

I wear it all the time. t work, with friends, etc

Dior Saucage, Chanel bleu de Chanel, etc… there’s a lot of good fragrances out there

Was just considering today wearing it more often to work. My bf has a lot of different colognes so I spray some on from time to time.

must be making a comeback bc i’ve notice it more… it was big when i was in HS in the late 90s…

Last week, I mentioned that I needed to take an appointment (my therapy appointment) this Wednesday at noon. I also mentioned that this is a medical appointment, and I don’t feel comfortable moving the appointment. I just received an email that I need to be available. How can I stick to my boundary?

Just how bad would it be to quit without a two week notice? I’ve been bait & switched into a horrible role, overworked to the point of having medical problems, and no amount of diplomatic talks with my manager has improved the day to day. My mental health and my personal relationships have been on a steady decline.

I don’t have another job lined up yet. But I’m danger close to quitting and taking my chances with freelance. Could it be worth it?

Have you seen women wear ties and "masculine"-looking suits to work? Was it accepted by client and team? I've never worn a tie to work, but when I've worn clothing that had a more "masculine" fit either in grad school or some work environments, I've gotten comments and looks, or sometimes asked (or people gossiped) about my orientation. When I wear more "feminine"-looking clothing, I feel more more uncomfortable and awkward. 🤷🏼‍♀️
