Is the implication that not showering is sexy?

[–] SacralPlexus 38 points 1 week ago

That was my first thought too then I looked at the first frame again and I was thinking maybe she was trying to shower with him. He rejected her in order to take care of their child’s needs - which made him even more desirable to her.

She comments on the site "Long haired scruffy woodsman. Yes Please." so I think the lack of shower and grooming gives him the scruffy, non groomed look. Not showering one day if your normally do does not exactly make you nasty. Im pretty sure my wife like me sometimes less groomed and wild but she also gets excited about very well groomed like when dressing up. Honestly I think its more about her mood than how I look.

I can go backwoods to a tux and everything in between. My wife is much the same, not so much on the woodsy look yet. Had to talk her out of wearing patent leather boots to hike in.

Women are exactly like us in that they love variety. People get bored looking at each other when they look the same every single day. Mix it up a little guys!

to be honest Im kinda a creature of habit. so I will look the same all the time but that is also why she basically gets to to dress me up as I know the way I am. Your right on variety. I usually grow a beard in the winter (looking for work so this year is an exception) and vacilate between clean shaven and some stubble through the summer. She seems to like it when the season change comes and she gets a new husband. Summer husband and winter husband.

Also, less pheromone masking from soaps, deodorants, lotions, etc.

I think also the fact that he's putting his child and wife's needs ahead of his own. Taking care of business is also sexy

Hey, don’t kink shame

Miles per hour, no time for a shower.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

yeah. I googled and have no idea what it means. I mean from context clues I feel that is refering to her. maybe a term of endearment?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I read it as "mmph" like an onomatopoeia.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

see if it was small letters and the extra m and I would totally think that. why use capitals for a loose noise? makes sense though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because they don't use lower case in their writing. I agree that would have made it more clear, though this is assuming in even right

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

oh. your right. I had to look again and I think my brain remembers it setup as standard writing rules. so I literally think there is small case in there.

I think it’s a “Mmmph” a semi disgruntled grunt from a tired person in a rush.

But I can’t read it as that.
