‘Men Shouldn’t Be on the Dating Scene if They Can’t Wash Their A**!’

There is no excuse why men should have a questionable body odor.

Now, ladies, may I ask a question?

Sorry. I have already. Silly me. *As I awkwardly grin at the computer screen*

But this is the actual question:

If you see an attractive man across the room, what do you normally notice first about him? And what is usually the most attractive thing about a man who catches your eye?

This may vary because you may notice something unique about one man that would be a turn-off if you saw the same thing in another man. But let me answer the questions first.

Now, I’m a woman who has never discriminated when it came to the weight of a man because some of the most attractive men that I have ever seen were at least 250 pounds. The reason why I bring up weight is because, from across the room, I initially notice:

  1. The build of a man
  2. How a man is dressed
  3. How a man is groomed

With all of these elements combined, I imagine so many things—such as how a man may smell. By the way, this may be the most attractive thing about a man when I initially meet him—how amazing he smells.
