I’m obsessed with fragrance, and lately I’ve found myself wandering into the men’s side of perfumery too 😭

Now I’m thinking maybe one day I could buy someone’s son an Amouage Purpose 50, a Clive Christian, or maybe go crazy with a Boadicea for Valentine’s Day… or maybe Christmas. You never know 😂

Not actively searching btw, hence why I didn’t post this in an F4M sub 😂. It’s just one of those random little things I’d genuinely love to do for someone one day if they do come along, or maybe it’s just one of those “Sundays are for lovers” thoughts while home alone 🤣

Question though… how seriously do you guys take how you smell? Because I genuinely think smelling good is a form of politeness and consideration for the people around you.

I went on a date recently and the guy smelled sweaty, despite it being cold and raining, and I was immediately put off 😭. I don’t necessarily mean everyone needs an expensive fragrance — just being clean and smelling good is something i think is important. What are your thoughts

So just wanna share my feelings here. Late 20s female....miss independent type sh*t...my life is ok, its actually where it should be i guess I have no complaints im ok. Have stayed away from relationships for years I guess its 5 now partly because of the horrible standards that are now there in the dating pool and the dead chivalry. Another reason is i get so swamped with my own life that i get to have the same routine and come back home do the same things and sleep. I mostly get approached by married men not sure why because im not big bodied and I look way younger than my age. I dont drink, I dont smoke and rarely go out and if I do my kinda vibe is chilled outing nothing too noisy or over the top. The typical boring girl I suppose lol

Thing is i have been feeling kinda bored and lonely of late. Feel like I want someone to tell about my day and talk about all those things you guys in relationships talk about. I want a hug, i want a forehead kiss, i want an i love you text thats not from a relative lol and i want to make a meal for 2 and not just 1. But in all that I still feel like marriage is a lot and not something I want(atleast for now im not sold on the concept)

No im not ovulating lol and im just not so sexual. Guess im now bored of the same routines meal prep on Sunday, morning workouts, back home at 5, evening walk, shower, microwave dinner, netflix, sleep, wake up tomorrow Repeat. Phone is essentially just for work only after work i can put it away and not be bothered. About friends..... I have acquaintances never really got to create solid friendships eversince I moved from byo to hre. Just letting my feelings out while looking for tonight's movie like every other day🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

This topic about men complaining that women want money like how much is it guys is $20 for nails that bad. Cummon stop embarrassing yourselves. Have we normalized the 'bare minimum'. Yes I said it the 2 forbidden words 'bare minimum'. I have met a number of grown men who say can you share your location i want to come and see you. What a joke come to my place before even taking me on a decent date. For all I know you may even be dangerous. Like how much is nails and hair really that its worth writing a whole post about. Ain't that a sign you broke to be dating after all and have to go and work harder coz clearly you wont afford to marry this lady.

I work hard and can afford my basic life and some luxuries including international vacations but that dont mean I want a man that just sits there and do nothing. Want to come to my place and sleep on my bed eat my food but dont help with anything nope aint happening. If thats too expensive for you lets meet outside and keep my place out of it.

To my ladies If a man loves you he really doesn't mind. Was privileged to date someone who treated me so well. It was before I had much he also didn't have much but anything he bought he got double esp those arabic perfumes lol coz couldn'tafford designer then. Would not allow me to use public transport from university because he would leave what he was doing to drop me off and pick me up. Eventually started a business together and he had me keep all the money even if I used some he didn't mind. Even then he would bring me small things often until dude got me my first Car. Became a son to my mother anything she needed be it car breakdown he would rush. He topped up my mother's money so she gets another car. Mom was building coz we were renting and since he was an electrician and he did all the electrical stuff for the whole double storey house and bought all supplies and accessories with our profits from the business. Its not even all but I wanna keep it short

Why are we no longer together, well death happened and he passed away MHSRIP. I am healed relax its been 6yrs but the bar was raised so high anything silly im quick to jump out. Not because of comparison but because the more im developing myself the standards keep going higher. Will I end up alone honestly if I dont meet a kind person I dont mind coz im fulfilled within myself I wont just settle for anything esp a man who complains about paying for nails...

I have been closely observing men i see on a daily basis and I am actually beginning to think men do things to be seen by other men. Esp if you are one of those well up guys. The car you drive, the area you stay some even rent 1.5k apartments and are not looking to build their own houses. The women they date they want 'top soup' as the slang says so they are praised by their clique. Popping expensive bottles etc
