I usually use Facebook as a vent for letting off steam (hmmm... so many air conditioning and climate references - could it be hot in my apartment??).... But since my roommate is one of my Facebook friends, I just have to say:
I HATE THE SMELL OF MANLY HYGIENE PRODUCTS WAFTING OUT OF THE BATHROOM AFTER HER BOYFRIEND TAKES A SHOWER.
Seriously - can't we all just use a nice, mild, NEUTRAL smelling soap, and none of this Nivea or Dusch Das or Palmolive for MEN crap? It smells like cinnamon on a rabbit's butt sprayed with vanilla flavored cotton-candy, dipped in clove nuggets with musk sprinkles on top.
YUCK!! YUCK!! YUCK!!!
That is all.
Thank you.
I am done now.
Now come see my show (Rigoletto in Frankfurt am Main)
I guess Dial for Men and Irish Spring and Axe and all of those sortsa things are what you're speaking of?? yeah, that shit hits you in the back of the throat.. but would your prefer he not shower?? count your blessings!! lol
and toi toi toi for your show!!

While I laughed in sympathy with you about your man's, um,.... 'efforts', I was reminded of a semi-infamous film by Luis Bunel (I *think*).
There was a scene where he had completely turned our culture's ideas on its head -
namely, how we feel about eating and how we feel about excretory functions.
He had a (very funny) scene where there was a big room with many many toilets, and all the people were using them with gusto and encouraging each other; conversely, when it came to eating, everyone were in rooms all by themselves, making the act of eating VERY private and personal.
I don't think I'd go THAT far, but I got his point.
Still, yeah - if I offend myself, I have a box of matches close to hand, 'coz that works pretty well (even with a ceiling fan in the bathroom!).
LOL Yes! DH will come out of there all impressed with himself sometimes.

He even will start laughing at himself while still in the bathroom. Costco probably wonders what's going on at my house b/c of all the Oust I purchase.
Srsly, practically every wife I know complains about their husbands' bathroom stench (including me!) Is it like an automatic thing? Rings go on the finger and then the stench begins?

so.. female poop don't stank? I'm not sayin.. I'm just sayin..
I'd like to get some of the hubbies on here and hear their reviews of your "womanly" odors!
Of course it does. But we're not proud of it. We don't brag about it. We don't lie in bed and giggle and force our mens' heads under the covers when it happens. We don't booby trap the bathroom and then lie in wait for our husbands to innocently wander in.
Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.
And here I thought it was "cool icy fresh sport breeze splash".
I use whatever regular ol' soap (Irish Spring at the moment) ... but most of the "for men" stuff that I have experienced hasn't been so horrendously offensive to my olfactories.
You know what makes me wrinkle my nose though? POTPOURRI. Ugh. If I walk through a mall and pass a Crabtree & Evelyn, I hold my breath until I'm a good 20 feet away. Blargh.
Really, aftershave should be the only un-gruff thing about my man. He should leave towels in their wake and only say "yum" to food (instead of "thank-you" and "ooh, delightful my dear").
He walks in the door and says hello, and I audibly groan. It's just time for a change. He's movin' in, and I-i-i-i-i-i'm movin' out (ensue syncopating saxophones).
my dorm had "suites" (2 rooms shared a bathroom). One of the guys in the other room dropped a bottle of cologne. (I'm thinking it was Eternity for Men). Gag. Now that was a nice scent on a person in small amounts but all at once, even with the bathroom window open for a week I gagged every time I went in there for the rest of the semester.
Just to say it could be worse.
Slightly OT, why is everything in the stores these days "scented". Most of those "scents" are synthetic and awful and somehow this is an incentive to buy crap? Really?

Scented toilet paper. The very idea makes my head hurt. It's disposable soft tissue for wiping shit off your arse and -- people want it SCENTED? SCENTED??!!
