I always wear it.

I get a lot of compliments on it.

It seems to give women an opportunity to comfortably break the ice and they do.

I wear it every day.

I used Burberry for many years. But my wife bought me Aqua di Gio for Christmas, and I’ve been using it ever since. Love that stuff.

youre a 40year old dude concerned about how you smell to strangers at the grocery store.

If you want to impress a lady go ahead wear cologne on a date. But its ridiculous to wear cologne to your work or mundane activity

I haven't worn cologne in a long time. I have a bottle that will likely last me the rest of my life at this point.

Even when I do wear it, nobody says anything so who really cares?

I’m probably like a 7/7.5 on a good day.

I cannot count the number of times this type of cold approach has led to something more significant more significant in my life.

Often times it doesn’t go anywhere, but that’s a decision I make.

Women are not throwing themselves at me in droves or anything. I’m not a giga Chad. But it happens often enough I do feel seen.

Wear cologne every day srs. I do take weather and environment into account. Probably don’t want anything too strong or “vanilla spiced bourbon” in the summer.

I'd be more worried about under 40s wearing it tbh. Old kunts tend to douse themselves in something off the second bottom shelf. Regular humans with functioning dicks just get by with deodorant...

I didn't know cologne police were a thing. I wear it to work, a night out, going to see friends, pretty much everywhere except the gym and I plan to wear it until I die lol@ quitting anything just cause you turn 40.
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.
