It's almost like they want their fanbase to remain single and sexually frustrated

Let them. Better odds for the rest of us.
Now they're even easier to spot.
People attracted to guys - you're better than that, avoid
A young woman once did comment positively on my scent while I was perspiring lightly, but I had showered previously, so that probably helped the most.
Definitely a big difference between fresh sweat on a clean, healthy person and STANK!
I think I was healthy back then too
so how many men is "some men?" weasel words imply the actual reality is someone saw a statistically insignificant number of tweets and didn't want to say that because it weakens the point they already decided they want to make.
anyway my junk smells great after a shower, and i know people with sniff kinks, so... i guess that makes me more alpha than these losers.
It’s called Stank Booty here where I live, and it’s quite the cock block actually.
In Texas we say that person smells like whataburger.
My wife has always told me that women really just want a guy who is nice to them and doesn't smell, and monosphere weirdos keep telling them to do the opposite.
If you show up to a cafe smelling like an anime convention or a TCG tournament then you have only yourself to blame when your date runs away gagging.

It's not that hard... shower 4-8 hours before the date, then don't do anything that makes you sweat significantly or become dirty. You'll still be clean, but won't have scrubbed away your natural smells and the like.
Is this just a feed back loop for incels? Woman rejects them at first date because they smell terribly and they have new "evidence" of all women hating them?
Yep. Just like all male influencer advice. It's a pit of despair you can only keep falling down so long as you keep taking their advice
"Yeah, ladies, once you get a deep whiff of my good old American masculine STANK, you'll be putty in my hands."
- Some Smelly Incel.
They also don't wash their asses because its "gay".
I’m pretty sure if it’s anything-maxxing it’s stupid as fuck. Unless it’s giving me money-maxing. I’m all for that one.
Maybe something with this?
Regarding human attraction, evolutionary theory suggests that individuals may be subconsciously drawn to partners with dissimilar MHC genes. This preference is often mediated by body odor, as MHC genotypes influence the scent of sweat and other bodily fluids. Choosing a partner with different MHC alleles increases the likelihood that offspring will inherit a diverse set of immune genes, potentially enhancing their pathogen resistance and overall fitness.
First they embraced the debunked Alpha Wolf shit. Now they think humans still have pheromone receptors.
The smell is literally bacteria shit.
Dead skin cells and oils consumed, shat out, and increasingly an odour issue the longer it piles up. There is no other contributors here. Body odour is bacteria poop and they're not flushing.
Brev, humans are bacterial colonies with an ego.
incel maxing
I’m not up on whatever trend but it may work in some cases provided they’re not just marinating in filth (there’s definitely a difference).
I got psy-op’d by society into being very anxious about possibly smelling around a date since I sweat easily so I ensured absolutely every time before one was a VERY thorough shower and scrub til’ I was practically raw, generous application of deoderant, etc. and applied a light bit of tea tree oil before I went on a date.
On one of the early dates with my now-wife while we were watching a movie, she finally turned to me and said that there was some sort of smell to me that was giving her a headache for the past few dates and asked if I could just not use that moving forward.
It turned out that she actually hated the deoderant and tea tree and so on and actually some sort of wire is crossed in her head such that my natural body scent smells like passionfruit to her (she very positively rates passionfruit). So my early efforts to come off as if I have never had the concept of sweat in my life were directly sabotaging my attempt to appeal to her nose, in addition to making me feel insecure about it when there was really no need.
This seems like a self-solving problem
My first GF, many years ago. I was snuggling with her, and smelled her hair. I said it smelled nice, and she pulled back to tell me she hadn't washed it in three days. In the moment, because I was so young and inexperienced, I felt a little foolish.
It doesn't take long to realize it's okay to like what you like.
Stink-maxxing
There's plenty of people on this post acting like a stinky man is unfit.
Suffice to say this is false.
There are plenty of things to criticize in a man. Their stank is not one of the ones that matter to me.
What matters to me:
Are they a misogynist? Are they racist? Are they hateful? Are they classist? Are they kind? Are they empathic? Are they able to cook? Do they clean the dishes when they use them?
Are they a misogynist? Are they racist? Are they hateful? Are they classist? Are they kind? Are they empathic?
I'm guessing if they're getting their hygiene tips from the man-o-sphere about things like pheremones, etc.... they're likely also going to be all of the above (except the last one).
If they can't even wash their own ass they're definitely not empathetic or washing dishes.
Is time flowing in reverse? I swear this was a thing ten years ago.
It's the same Naturalist fallacy that health-and-wellness hucksters love to pitch to people. Another one I loved was "don't wash your hair, that causes baldness", leading to an entire graduating class of college kids going around with bedhead for a year or three.
There's a grain of truth in this. Sweat can smell good IF YOU'RE CLEAN. If it's sweat that's been on you for 24 hours and starts fermenting on you it's going to stink. But the sweat you make in the first hours after you've bathed? That's nice.
So take a shower right before your date. And then be slightly nervous.
The herd thins itself.
