To me i dont find it attractive at all.. most guys put soo much that its so strong.

As long as i like the smell and they dont put too much ill be fine.

Answer 18

thank god they do!

if youre even so much as complaining a tiny bit about that hunnie, theres worse things out there.

Answer 19

Typically it's because we don't wear perfumes and such at a young age. So when we do discover what Marines call "smell-good", we tend to make a big deal. And we don't smell as well as girls, so we tend to put on more than we ought.

But also, this is the first generation of guys who were raised principally by their mothers and without fathers in American history. Its making the guys metro, emo, or whatever-o sexual. And that means a lot of grooming.

Hopefully it'll go away. Nothing more foppish than a painted man.

Answer 20

I know a lot that don't care at all.  Trust me, having them smell overly nice is better than them reeking like b.o. and grime.

Answer 21

Because, If we smell good then we think women will like us more. We want their love and care. Make ourselves look nice and not slobbish and we would feel better about us and hope a girl asks us to prom. Or something along those lines. XD I personnely use ChanelAnd Some other thing that scrapes my mind.

Answer 22

They want to get ladies not chase them away... and some boys have a real stink o_o Anyway, other people (girls) care about how guys smell. o.o

Answer 23

I'm pretty sure girls do, too.

Seeing as girls have perfumes and what-not.

You rather have guys smell like sweat?

(( Although, guys who abuse Axe/the like, are rather stupid. ))

Answer 24

Jacob's ladder. Women are aroused by certain smells. It's scientifically proven that certain smells make women more attracted to men they would otherwise overlook. They are just trying to increase their chances with the ladies.

Answer 25

No one wants to smell bad.

Answer 26

This use to not happen. They have started putting more fragrance in cologne. Men are turning more to the feminine side.

Answer 27

Well, to be honest, if I cross a good smelling guy on the street [even though i have a boyfriend] I can't HELP take a look. It's just like pheramones or something, its tempting. Guys go crazy over it because girls do too =]

Answer 28

Its our self pride and we care about how we look on the outside. that's the prob. we need to show our insides

Answer 29

Are you kidding me? I dont give a c**p how I smell, and Im dripping with sweat here as it is. It sucks having no A/C in august...

Answer 30

Because girls care so much about how the guys smell.

If a semi-cute guy is wearing s**y cologne, he suddenly seems hotter.

Answer 31

most guys are self conscience of themselves when it comes to girls. they cant put on make up like us girls can! so besides doing their hair (if they have any) they want to look nice and to look nice, they must smell nice. oh and lastly guys just in general have bad BO
