Comments on: “No, I’m Not Wearing Cologne” http://www.becomingapua.com/2008/02/26/no-im-not-wearing-cologne/ From 22 Year Old Virgin To Ladies Man Thu, 28 Aug 2008 05:20:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Royal http://www.becomingapua.com/2008/02/26/no-im-not-wearing-cologne/#comment-4587 Royal Sun, 06 Apr 2008 03:24:00 +0000 http://www.becomingapua.com/2008/02/27/no-im-not-wearing-cologne/#comment-4587 Try This... I'm close with this girl I've been using as a pivot and before we've been going out she'll dab some of her perfume on me. Keep in mind i'm still an AFC but beleive me this is like instant social proof...especially if its differant than what she is wearing. Try it...a girl comments on it every other set you open. When they do just say something like "I'm not wearing anything" or just smell yourself, smile and say "Thank you" holding back a laugh. -Royal Try This…

While I'm not a pickup artist (still a rAFC) I have found that I rarely use a cologne (unless a big party or event), and mostly I use a deodorant... and just a little... and I have gotten girls attracted to me despite of this... Either way, it would be nice to me to try to wear one more often... perhaps it could be good for some type of "peacocking"... That’s a great post, V.

I have had many girls comment on it - a few lean in for a close smell and occasional kiss. That said, a few of the naturals I know don't wear cologne . Like you, they believe in the power of pheromones. One even wears his going out clothes for an hour or so before he has a shower -- he wants a bit of sweat in there. Man musk he calls it. American Scientific Mind had an article recently on the importance of pheromes and how they are transmitted via kissing too. Which is important as our senses are under developed.

There's been a lot of research done on the natural scent people give off and how its arousing. On top of that... cologne often just makes you pass off as someone who's trying too hard. If anything, maybe a SLIGHT very subtle smell would be alright, but as you say, you get it from hair products / deodorant.
