Basic hygiene is peacocking now?
If you're seeking dates and have the disposable income to meet someone out for dinner and drinks, yeah, take a shower within 24-48 hours of that date.
That's not a wild suggestion.
Showing prior to an event is not basic hygiene. I don't know who told you that but most people in America shower too often and damage their skin, don't take my word for it just do some actual research with dermatologists instead of following whatever dead brain rinse and repeat shower commercial you're rotting your mind with.
Also I don't seek women, I'm gay, and yes a shower every 48 hours is recommended but that's not what is specified here, what's specified is one right before the date, and omg do you have the nuclear hetronormitive mindset ๐.
Your suggestions are bad and contain all sorts of preconceived bais, so yes, they're wild.
Showering within 2 days of the event is showering too often?
I edited my comment to "people" within a minute of posting instead because you're right, not all men date women.
Do you even read, or just get mad?
Right back at ya. You immediately assumed I was suggesting that one should shower immediately before a date every time without actually understanding my comment.
I'm not fighting you on this. Keep not showering and see how that works for dating.
I never said you suggested that, that's what the post suggested in the meme?... Jfc. Also I'm happily partnered, remain hygenic, and shower when necessary. You're so interested in being upset you don't even gage my position on the manner, but hey, keep being fake. See how well that life works out for you.
