marketing of masculinity

"dook cannon" is the term we used as kids for someone at the pool who had diarrhea.

i make my own homemade unisex deodorant and haven't shopped in either aisle for deodorant for years! hmu if you want some, i am making a batch soon!

i have tried it! it has a nice smell!

LL, I need to read some tantalizing copy about your unisex deodorant.

Suitable for any human armpit ISO odor control, [my band's name] deodorant is handcrafted from natural emollients, a custom blend of essential oils, and odor-absorbing agents to keep you smelling fresh under stress. Product is vegan, sold in travel-friendly small glass jars, and is refillable for locals.

That's about the best I can do to tantalize without listing ingredients. I have a little poster + a picture of the product with the poster but I would rather not post it bc tbh idk how to post a photo from my phone to ilx anymore

but will it get us laid? and can you mix in some bacon grease?

Made with old fashioned bacon grease and human ingenuity, [my band’s name] deodorant will control yr stench & still blast your unique musk to attract the partner of your dreams.

why am i thinking of dicks coated in bacon grease. ... thanks.

as in "thanks, brain!" not "thanks, LL"

dumping that jar of stoveside rendered bacon fat over my areas

I only use vegan bacon grease in my deodorant.

Then good news fellas!! This deodorant is for you! Road tested by men and women, it will tamp down your malodorousness and showcase what makes you special!!

Native brand deodorants are good for you and also smell good. My wife and I got a sampler box and it turns out I kinda like the floral ones, like hibiscus and cucumber or whatever, which has a civilizing effect on my manfunk. and my wife digs the more neutral scents ones, like cedar and lemon. the musky bro-ish flavors popped-collar scents are still unused.

Also, native manufacturer seasonal scents like blackberry sage that I would eat with a spoon if that weren’t weird.

is cucumber considered floral?

I've been getting these goddamn Dr. Squatch ads on YouTube all week. I guess they aren't new, but it's the first time I've seen them.

I actually use Stirling shaving soap. And yeah, some of their scents have names like Executive Man or have a picture of a lumberjack on them or whatever, but they have fruity scents too and at least one specifically targeted toward women. I don't really care about the scents, so I just use their Naked and Smooth unscented variety. It makes a great lather anyway.

I don't know if it lacks magical shaving properties but I've just been using dr bronners when I trim up my neck

I was irritated by the beer in a plastic cup and where he pointed to the liver in that Dr Squatch video.

Bronners has a purpose-made shaving soap now that rules. I like wood, herb, and citrus scent tones and my partner likes more flowery ones, but she usually steals my deo (with silly macho packing) anyway.

i just go by what it says on the bronners soap label and i use it as shower-gel, mouthwash, shampoo, prophylactic, laundry detergent, shaving oil, abortifacient, floor cleaner, and douche. i also now ascribe to an idiosyncratic syncretic abrahamic religion

The only time I ever tried Bronners it reminded me of furniture polish or something.

I had a bf in college that used it. ... I did wish he would use it more often (not the most hygienic guy) ... but I had no problem w/the effect or smell

I like dr bronners. It's perfect for long hiking/camping trips to use for everything.

I thought about this thread at the Drab Majesty show, where I saw a couple dudes wearing tactical kilts. I wanted to ask them about their EDC sporrans. Also a lady with Sisters of Mercy logo earrings, but that's off-topic.

we could tie the earrings into a discussion of goth masculinity

and my teenage dream of having a bf/husband to share black kohl eyeliner with lol

Thinking of starting a skincare range, for men. To market it to men, the main ingredient will be gravel.

It will contain microparticles of gravel, or "microgravel".

I'll call the product Mangravel.

The packaging will say "Are you man enough? Man up. Call yourself a man? You're no man"

Someone's never heard of Lava. Call me when you upgrade to glass, bruh.

New loofa for mens which is just ball of razor wire drenched in vinegar.

Dove makes soap marketed to men, I've bought it when it's been on sale. The packaging design makes it look like Starcraft soap. I think they also know that men think if they use all the various products by a single company they will, like a video game's set armor, get additional charisma and strength buffs.

I am not a Jeremy Renner fan at all; this Jeremy Renner Store exclusive launch on amazon's front page seems like a parody.

I see it's already been written about.

Going down Jeremy Renner hole (dirty) but now I am watching his new rock videos on youtube.

I don't want any Axe ice cream treats

ROAST BEEF WRAP W/ BIG BRO SAUCE
This wrap is packed with lean protein! Slow-roasted, thinly-sliced top round, provolone cheese, caramelized onions and spinach in a whole wheat wrap, served with a side of our "secret" Big BRO sauce.

Big BRO sauce is about as unappetizing a phrase as I can imagine.

esp when preceded by "secret"

don't watch the whole thing... it just gets weirder and not in a good way

Internet Comment Etiquette is good not bad.

Re: the fifteen seconds of that video that I watched with the sound off, there are times when I find it difficult even just watching men being the way that they apparently feel they're supposed to be. Like maybe engage one or two times in a genuine, vulnerable interaction with another human before foisting yourself onto the world, brah.

That video I just posted? I like the first 6 minutes a lot. I’m not familiar with the channel; he plays lots of different characters, apparently.

I had an idea for a product today: BEARD BOOTS. Handcrafted boots adorned with a mane of real human beard hair.

when it comes to oil-related accessories, would there be separate ones for the leather and the hair or some kind of artisanally formulated combo oil

I bought some Dove for Men soap today, because some doofus was standing in front of the regular Dove soaps spacing out and I had melting ice cream in my cart. But I like it! It's charcoal and clay so I am assuming it will make me a better, more exfoliated artist.

well if you've never dove for men, how masculine can you really be?

I was thinking Beard Boots might be like a normal Boots but with the one beard isle cut-and-pasted thru the shop so we don't have to wall past the No 7s and sanitary pads because we are Men With Beards
