    I've always found men who simply bathe regularly and wear clean clothing are more appealing than men of the cologne-drenched variety. Just an observation.

    If pheromones is the key to banging hot chicks then why not just slap on some balls-sweat aftershave? THAT'S a New York Times expose I'd love to read. Put on the blindfolds, ladies, it's time to test this theory.

    Smell. Sex.

    Normally I would have no thoughts on this matter, but a few months ago I attended a baby shower for a work friend. The hostess was pregnant, of course, and had invited three other pregnant friends from her Lamaze class.

    Smithhimself is definitely not a GQ model and I have a list of highly annoying habits (such as referring to myself in the third person). But that afternoon, I was catnip to the unattached women at the party.

    What smell attracts women? The smell of pregnant women in the area...

    @smithhimself: When you are pregnant your sense of smell is doglike in its intensity (in ten cities!). The ladies were getting a good whiff of eau de smithhim and digging it.

    Darling, *ahem*, I'm not in that way as you know the shop is closed, but further research might be needed...

    I still use Old Spice, and that seems to work, when I'm at the nursing home.

    Please, I'm still reeling over "Pit, pit chesty," as a slogan. I will admit to falling for a boy who wore Royal Copenhagen Musk in high school. The shame.

    @TroisFilles: Actually, it’s "double pits to chesty." For a period of several weeks, that awful ad was played twice during every commercial break on CBS online David Letterman. As with the Holocaust, I will never forget.

    @iplaudius: See? It so scrambled my mind (young boy/man as self-conscious as any girl in an FDS ad circa 1974) I got it wrong. I feel a little proud.

    Don't buy into this conspiracy, guys. Us ladies are subconsciously most attracted to the whiff of natural male pheromones.

    If you bathe in Tom Ford Italian Cypress cologne and then position yourself behind me in line at Starbucks, I will barf. That being said, my ex used the Christian Dior Higher Energy aftershave, or whatever the bleep it's called, and now I'm so hyper-sensitive to it, I can sniff it from the other end of a subway car. It makes my heart twitch and me sad. =(

    This is exactly why I always begin a date by asking the girl to smell my balls.

    Well, truth is, first I put my hand in my boxers, and then I ask her to smell my finger. Because "smell my finger" sounds a lot nicer than "smell my balls."

    @BadUncle: Yay! Gawker cash fans. Don't see many of those anymore.

    Where is that guy now? There really should be a dating update edition somewhere on Craigslist. Or a Gawker, Where Are They Now: The Jerk-offs segment. Did the cash fan work? How about the shutter shades? All questions we really need answers to. A douche-listicle if you will.
