• As far as I know, I don't know anyone in real life who wears cologne (nm) - By danny August 5, 2026 at 09:49:29 AM
  • I wear it. Who doesn't want to smell nice? (nm) - By GritsGoBlue August 5, 2026 at 11:00:02 AM
  • It genuinely baffles me that every guy doesn’t* - By brick August 5, 2026 at 10:37:46 AM
  • I don't, I find most colognes and perfumes annoying at best, nauseating at times. * - By Kevin August 5, 2026 at 10:27:34 AM
  • I wouldn't wear it to work but I like it occasionally. I just have two - By LewisBullox August 5, 2026 at 10:15:15 AM
    • Why wouldn’t you wear to work? Most obvious place you should use.* - By MasterBates August 5, 2026 at 10:17:42 AM
      • Engineers don't wear cologne. Stick out like a sore thumb. Maybe could dabble with a very light spray.* - By LewisBullox August 5, 2026 at 10:21:24 AM
        • Grim. Nightmare fuel* - By brick August 5, 2026 at 10:39:20 AM
  • Cap, there is zero way you can verify that. In the chance that it is true, do you live in Appalachia?* - By MasterBates August 5, 2026 at 10:10:57 AM
    • I thought I recalled you talking about cologne at one point or another, but wasn't sure, which is why I put a question mark after your name.* - By Cap August 5, 2026 at 10:19:09 AM
      • Lol, cap is slang for “lies”* - By MasterBates August 5, 2026 at 10:20:57 AM
    • Yes, that's why I said "as far as I know". I do spend a lot of time in Appalachia (nm) - By danny August 5, 2026 at 10:14:40 AM
      • This adds up.* - By MasterBates August 5, 2026 at 10:16:06 AM
  • team valentino here.** - By kal August 5, 2026 at 10:02:46 AM
  • Interesting. Wonder if this is a generational thing? I've worn cologne almost every day since high school, and that's common among my friends.* - By gbmcq August 5, 2026 at 09:56:12 AM
    • I think every generation does. My friends and I all did. My dad's generation was more 'after shave' as opposed to cologne.* - By Rich August 5, 2026 at 10:01:45 AM
      • Haha, oh yeah. My dad always did that in the army after he shaved every morning. Shit burns lol.* - By gbmcq August 5, 2026 at 10:03:02 AM
        • I can still remember the first time I used Skin Bracer. Hurt so good.* - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 10:08:24 AM
          • and there was Lectric Shave which was basically isopropyl alcohol to strip oil from your face prior to shaving with an electric shaver* - By ajs August 5, 2026 at 10:20:32 AM
  • I do sometimes. Used to every day but now use less often and smaller amounts... - By Rich August 5, 2026 at 09:53:18 AM
    • continuing, I think WFH removes a lot of the impetus to wear cologne..... - By Rich August 5, 2026 at 09:54:42 AM
  • My wife loves it. I've tried to adapt because I do not. Ive always been afraid of being the guy that everyone thinks "wears too much cologne."* - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 09:51:01 AM
    • They only think that if the cologne being worn is perceived as loud or "sexy," which describes many popular mens fragrances over the past decade. No one thinks that if you smell like vetiver, citrus, fresh laundry, or cedar/pine, though. They just think you smell nice* - By Brad August 5, 2026 at 10:00:15 AM
      • I didn’t say the fear was rational.* - By Alpo August 5, 2026 at 10:09:46 AM
        • I think it actually is rational, considering the "seductive" fragrances are what most guys associate with the idea of wearing cologne. If I pick something too bold for work, or spray too much of a fragrance, I'm self-conscious all day*** - By Brad August 5, 2026 at 10:14:28 AM
