    Soap is soap - Body Wash / Shampoo are just soap.

    When the soap is gone, break out the water rinsed soap bottle

    When that is gone, break out the dish soap

    When that is gone, just jump into the swimming pool until you have time to go shopping.

    Would I prefer not to have fufu fancy soap? Sure, but i’m not going to waste money by ignoring it.

    I’m still half way through a bottle of industrial hand soap i use in the shower… it’s lasted over a year at this point. None of my tinder dates have complained

    if it were me I’d be conflicted about whether to respond with just “k” or demanding a conversation about boundaries

    I remember one time I ran out of deodorant and had to use my wife’s. The whole day at work every now and again I’d catch a whiff of myself and my lizard brain would shriek WOMAN!!! until I realised it was just me.

      Probably partially had to do with it being your wife’s, not just women’s. Scent is supposedly closely tied to memory, so your brain was probably tying it to her not women in general

    It must be sad having so little manliness that smell could take from it.

    Honestly, you’re not his parent, he’s an adult and needs to start taking care of himself - or GTFO.

    Used to do IT for a small meat packing plant; would shoot the shit with the warehouse guys whenever they came in for a break. Bunch of 20-something guys slinging 20-60 pound boxes of meat all day.

    Power went out one time, and we’re all sitting around waiting to see if the power is going to come back quickly enough that we don’t need to start unloading all the inventory; and one of them expressed a need to use the facilities. I told him the bathroom was right there; it didn’t need power to flush.

    There were no windows, and he didn’t want to end up peeing all over the floor.

    I pointed out that if he sat down, he wouldn’t need to aim.

    “I’m not gonna sit to pee!”

    “Dude, it’s not like it’s gonna fall off.”

    It might!

      i love sitting down to pee. with a penis, even. standing up takes effort. sitting does not. i can dribble off in the toilet instead of on my pants. i can check my phone quick. i can sit instead of stand. pee flows out better sitting down so i strain less. i don’t have to stand elbow to elbow with a stranger holding his dick, too literally ever. the pros are quite good.

      the only bad thing is apparently some men think it’s not manly! but im gay sooo oh nooooo anything but that. also sometimes the water is too high and the tip of your dick might touch but really this barely ever happens. I’m tall anyways, so when i use a urinal my dick is squished up by the top rim most of the time anyways which i find gross too.

      Stories like these and the multiple ones about dudes not wiping after they shit gives me serious pause when considering my other cis hets’ mental faculties. Shiiiit, I usually only go once a day in the morning but it my crack is itching I’ll wet down some toilet paper just to make sure I got everything. Do these weirdos actually enjoy having an itchy ass‽

        More fun facts.

        Many men don’t wash their ass in the shower because it’s considered gay.

        Also 1/3rd of Americans and Europeans only change their bed sheets once a year.

          JFC we really are doomed. Maybe we deserve it if something as basic hygiene is considered to determine your sexual orientation! Like really‽ If anything, to me, it’s a matter of comfort. Do they expect a significant other to do it for them? This kinda thinking is so far outside my wheelhouse that I’m actually feeling discomfort trying to empathize with them!

      As a cis man, I sometimes pee sitting down but only at home, never in a public bathroom. I go as far as lifting the toilet seat with my foot. The less contact the better. Maybe if I touched the bowl with my dick it would fall off, not taking any chances

        Yeah, It wouldn’t be so bad if the toilets weren’t completely covered in pee.

      How would he handle things if he needs to pee and poo? Like, does he do one, switch positions, and then the other? It just sounds super inconvenient and involved.

        Thats the worst. Stand to pee, let out a fart while peeing, fart turns into turtlehead, finish peeing, immediately have to sit down with face in fart cloud.

      I think that other guy was joking and the problem was, I dunno, fearing to stumble when standing up.

        I think it was mostly the fact that if he did go at that point, the other warehouse guys would decide he had indeed sat down to pee, regardless of what actually happened.

    Back in the 90s, they used to call us metrosexual or metro. Just because I didn’t want to look or smell like I work in a coal mine.
