This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It’s interesting that the instructions want you to cup your hands around the nipple instead of just spraying yourself directly

It feels mostly regional to me. The vibe I get is that Americans especially don’t really care for fragrances while here in the Middle East it’s a goddamn stereotype of us Lebanese men that we wear too much cologne.

(Or as I have grown up to understand it, just about enough cologne)

once lost a game of hide and seek cause the seeker could smell my cologne (i do in fact have some lebanese blood in me)

Good point, I'm only speaking from my experience in the Mid-Atlantic US region. It's probably different everywhere.

Very regional. I live in Colombia and literally every single person wears perfume or cologne. I’m the odd one for not wearing scents like that.

Yeah I'm American but I initially thought that that must be in the middle east since in my experience middle eastern men are much more likely to love wearing cologne
