I’ve been seeing this guy for about a few weeks when he comes over to my place. We’re sitting on the couch watching a movie, when…
Guy: “Hey, you smell different today. Are you wearing perfume?”
Me: “No, I got a new shower gel.”
Guy: “Why would that make you smell different?”
Me: *Confused pause* “Because it’s a different scent than the last one?”
Guy: “But the shower gel shouldn’t change the way you smell.”
Me: “Um. When you wash with soap, you smell like that soap. You smell like your shower gel, don’t you?”
Guy: “But you’re a girl! You’re supposed to just smell good naturally.”
Me: “Uh… women do sweat, you know. Why do you think we take showers?”
Guy: “It’s to wash off the sweat and stuff. Then, the natural smell comes through, and some girls just smell better than others, just like some girls are prettier than others.”
Me: “Hold up. You really thought the smell of citrus just… came out of my pores? Dude, I’m not a grapefruit.”
Guy: “So you’ve been tricking me this whole time?!”
Me: “What?”
Guy: “You’re just like those girls who wear perfume and makeup! We’re done. I don’t want to see you anymore.”
Me: “Fine by me, but I can absolutely guarantee you that any other woman you date is also going to smell like whatever she washes with. You’re not going to find a lady who ‘naturally’ smells like fruit and flowers.”
