We really thought we’d seen it all in the modern dating scene, but the latest internet rabbit hole is actually cursed. Enter: "pheromone-maxxing."
If you haven't heard of this deeply unhinged trend, consider yourself lucky. Apparently, a subset of entirely delulu Gen Z guys think that the secret to attracting women is to stop showering, completely ditch the deodorant, and—brace yourselves because this is foul—drink their own urine. Baaaarrrrrf!!!!
The logic? They believe stewing in their own filth will maximize their "natural pheromones" and make them biologically irresistible.
Respectfully, who lied to you?!
Let’s get one thing straight: smelling like a walking biohazard is not a flex.
It is not giving primal, alpha-male energy; it is giving "I need a hazmat suit to be in your general vicinity." The ick is truly astronomical. Basic hygiene is literally the bare minimum for human interaction, let alone dating. If you want to attract someone, a solid body wash and a spray of decent cologne will do a million times more for your dating life than whatever this toxic trend is.
If you actually know how to use a loofah and believe in the magic of deodorant, congratulations, you’re already miles ahead of the competition. Put that clean energy to good use and join OBC today.
