Smelling Real Good



Recommended Posts

Guys,

I had a nice NSV the past week or so. I have been wearing my favorite cologne for a while now but all of the sudden women are stopping and saying omg you smell so good, five separate times this week alone. Don't remember that 60 lbs ago. May be my body chemistry is changing with the weight loss. I am seven weeks out. I'll take it.

wow, I hoped you were saying that,

I almost didn't open the post because I feared it told a story of food smells and temptations as such, but its cologne, cool Beans, I'll try to see if I can find it some time and try a whiff, who knows. I like Geo, its pretty good and I like the scent fine enough and has a decent kit of after shave and what have you.

Hate to say it bro,I don't think it's a body chemistry thing as much as I think it's because they find you more attractive as you lose weight & become more confident. They are using the cologne as an excuse to engage you and get closer.

Just my opinion, but it's not a bad thing either.

BTW, Issey Miyaki por homme is my preferred scent.

Agree with OTR, it's all you chad!

To illustrate: I'll never forget at a social event with work people a year or two back when I decided to put on some Gio. A couple girls actually asked me "what's with the cologne?" and one followed up with "who are you trying to impress?" (And it was just a spritz, I didn't overdo it, I promise). When I asked how they thought it smelled, I was given a very lukewarm response.

Not two weeks later, I heard them going on and on about one of the newer guys at work (who, admittedly, was clearly much taller, thinner and better looking than me... but older and MARRIED!), and in particular they liked the way he smelled. I asked point blank, "you mean the way he overdoes the cologne at work?" (it was really over the top), and they were like "oh my god yes!" and "I LOVE the way he smells!" (in that I want to be on him tone, you know what I'm talking about). Anyway, the point was: HE WORE THE EXACT SAME COLOGNE AS ME!

Damn I can't wait to be thin. (Sadly, though, the sleeve won't make me taller...). Anyways, way to go chad, keep it up!

I have to second OTR. Women mostly won't directly speak to a man to tell him she finds him interesting or attractive. Indirect comments like this are probably genuine but happen because they find you overall more approachable. That doesn't mean they are hot to jump in bed, but that they just find you more approachable and attractive.

A few men have told me they find my hair and smile quite lovely now that I have lost nearly 130# - lol. Never got that before so you gotta think it is similar (hair actually does look better thinner after the hair loss!)

Tear it up, Chad!!

Slightly off topic: Took a trip to Vegas for our 14 year anniversary in August. I hadn't bought cologne since our honeymoon; she complains or comments (like, "Who are you wearing that for??") or both if I wore it. At her suggestion and choice, we bought some Creed Aventus. Every time I've worn it since, she complains... like it smells different than it did in the store. I don't think it does, and I don't get it. Thoughts?

Why does this stuff have to be so... unpronounceable.??

I agree with OTR.... I think it's you Chad2Rad... That's a great NSV. I think it's just a clever way way for women to come on to you or show that she interested. Believe me... if she wasnt... you wouldn't get that kind of attention. Congrats on the weight loss!!!

Dude... this is so true!!!! When women really like a guy...you know stereotypical "tall dark and handsome"... he can pretty much smell like dirt... and if he's in shape and lean... they rationalize it with..."I like that rugged look and smell." But if you're overweight... you could be dressed very crisp and smell awesome.... and you just will not get that attention. I blame it on the body image issues society has place on us. But I love this example you brought up. Very true!!!

I know getting positive attention as you become healthier and more fit is great, but does it make you angry or resentful at all? How do you adjust if you are feeling that? I'm still preop (and married) so I won't be shopping or anything but I wonder if suddenly being "good enuff" for attention will bring me down. Thoughts?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
