Mate I'd use dishwasher soap, what is he worried about?

[-] rekabis@programming.dev 2 points 6 months ago

It took me until the early 2020s to realize that men even have body washes in the first place.

Keep in mind that I abandoned broadcast TV around 2001 or 2002, so I completely cut all commercials out of my life.

Then when the first adblocker became available for Phoenix (later Firebird, then Firefox) around 2004, I was all over that like white on rice. So since 2004 the only ads I have had to suffer were when I set up a new system whose browsers needed configuring, and later once my browser protections became too strict and I needed a “naked” web browser for user-hostile sites that tied spyware and near-malware into site-critical functionality.

So I have been “out of the advertising loop” for a very long time, and always saw bodywash as a female thing. I quite literally never “got the memo” that body washes came for men.

And I’m not likely to get any, either. And not for any stupidly sexist reasons - after five decades on this rock, I am just habituated on bars of soap. I just don’t like the showering/soaping-up experience without bar soap.

It sounds like this guy needs SLAM LOTION! The best sunscreen for manly men that want to suntan like a man!!!

And if you didn't know...it's a real thing. I just learned about it today.

It's up to him to decide for himself what he considers to be manly.
However, considering a certain type of shower product to be for a bitch, seems a bit insecure to me. This is in addition to being rather ungrateful for being offered to use the product

Instead of getting over himself he chooses to literally smell like an actual bitch lmao what an idiot

[-] pewpew@feddit.it 2 points 6 months ago

He's not a real man. Real men pick whathever they have lying in front of them

Give him a jar of motor oil

Ugh... dude...

[-] gerryflap@feddit.nl 1 points 6 months ago

Damn what a crybaby. I've recently discovered that "non-manly" products tend to be better anyways. I don't want my hair to smell like chemicals, I want it to smell like roses or mango. I want my skin and hair to be soft. And I generally don't need 5-in-1 shower products

I'm sorry you have to deal with a bum who would rather smell like one than Bulgarian roses.

Don't know if he's inherently an insecure fragile sexist bitch, or if it's a development helped by him uncritically swallowing whatever dumb condescending gendered marketing. Maybe both.

if it were me I'd be conflicted about whether to respond with just "k" or demanding a conversation about boundaries

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Bro's penis must be almost an innie.

[-] stinerman@midwest.social 1 points 6 months ago

I mean... I prefer my bar soap to my wife's body wash. But if it was down to the body wash or nothing, I'd go with the body wash. Same with her shampoo.
