- The 1 best upgrade no one dares to talk about
The 1 best upgrade no one dares to talk about
I remember going on a road trip a few years ago with a fairly attractive girl and a couple of my guy friends.
We drove around town to pick people up, and as soon as my best friend came into the car,
the girl in the front seat immediately rolled her window down.
Before anyone had said anything, she explained in a somewhat shy manner that it got hot all of a sudden, and she needed some fresh air.
I remember thinking to myself,
"WOW. My boy is definitely getting laid."
His mere presence is already too hot for her to handle.
After a couple hours of being on the road, we came by a gas station with a convenient store and decided to take a break
while everyone was doing their own things, I had a minute alone to converse with the girl
"Kevin, do you guys not smell that?"
"Smell what?" Clueless as ever.
"Your best friend, he smelled so bad when he came in the car, I couldn't breath. For a while there I seriously thought I was going to vomit."
then I remember thinking to myself,
"WOW. My boy is definitely NOT getting laid."
His mere presence is already enough to make her want to vomit.
What's interesting was that instead of telling my best friend, she came to tell me.
What's ever MORE interesting, I couldn't bring myself to tell MY own best friend.
Isn't that fucked?
How many of us are actually aware of our own smell?
It would be amazing if you could sniff yourself and immediately pick up on any emanating odors, but alas, life isn't so simple.
However, detecting your own body odors is extremely difficult.
Apparently, the receptors in your nose shut down after smelling the same scent for too long.
On top of that, It is literally wired in our DNA to avoid being the bearer of bad news
Even if you ask people straight up, they wouldn't give you a straight answer, because of the ways people usually respond to bad news
Lots of us would respond emotionally with tears, anxiety or even anger when your ego is hurt
It's simply too much bullshit to deal with, it would be much easier to just walk away
And no doubt, this is exactly what the majority of people do.
Picture a 40 year old man, he runs his own IT company, he's tall, he's rich, he's reasonably good looking, and he's physically fit for his age.
But he is as single as anyone could ever be.
The problem? He is a massive CREEP and had worst social skills than a 12 year old kid.
Can't take hints, doesn't know when to stop buggering people, thinks he knows everything, etc.
Only way he knows how to get people's time and attention is to buy them expensive gifts, which creeps us all out even more.
How did he get there?
I am 100% convinced he wasn't able to make any friends when he was growing up because well, how do I put this nicely...
Man smelled like he marinates his sweaty balls in jars of hot expired mayonnaise on his down time
and he just HAD to be my roommate for a couple of months, even with enough money in the bank to get his own place.
He told me the real reason he rented the empty room in my flat before he moved again, and the reason was
Drum roll please
Our building is very close to where the girl he was stalking at the time lives.
(This is a true story by the way, I'm not making this this up.)
An absolutely pathetic life in my opinion, all because no one around him loved him enough to tell him he stank.
Do you want to be that 40 year old man? A bitchless stalker with no friends?
I know this sounds a bit extreme,
But I hope your answer is no.
Luckily for you, this is such an easy problem to fix
Listen buddy, if you still think your BO is not ruining your life, think again.
Even if you truly do not have BO, you're still going to get an upgrade from applying perfume properly
When you spray perfume on yourself and smell it throughout the day, it feels exactly the same as if were to see yourself looking sharp in a fitted suit.
The complete opposite outcome of smelling bad happens when you smell good
Suddenly people stay around you longer because it's just that pleasant for them
Girls are way more receptive, people genuinely respect you more because smelling good signals to them that you take care of yourself
You will be way more professional than those who didn't bother applying any perfume to job interviews
I could go on and on about the benefits, but I think you get my point.
Now some of you might still be in denial and think:
"Oh no it's too try hard and unnatural"
"Oh no, its too expensive"
Ok, don't try, be a loser for the rest of your life and let the "try-hards" get all the opportunities while you cry in your basement about how its always the asshole getting lucky and never you.
"Natural" is what kills you, nothing around you is "natural".
The coffee you drink in the morning? The food you keep cold in the fridge? The toilet you shit in?
People out there putting their egos aside and use photoshop on their pictures are getting infinitely more chances on life than you.
Think about it, if you were to post a #nofilter as if that's something to praise about, and look like utter garbage
get no engagement, girls clicking on your profile immediately lose interest within half a second
But hey #nofilter right?
While this butt fuck ugly dude with a properly picked filter on his IG posts and good photoshops are getting all the replies in his DMs
Who is truly winning here?
Even if he gets dumped on the spot 100 times,
He's met 100 more women than you
In most aspects in life, we only need to get lucky once to be set forever.
You'll never get lucky if you never got to roll your dice.
If you're still hardcore disagreeing with me with the whole being natural and not trying hard thing
It's your ego speaking, you're afraid of still not getting what you want in life after really trying
So you would rather fail and say "it's ok, I wasn't trying anyways"
I see this shit all the time in online games, some kid will start trolling as soon as they start losing in order to protect his ego
Listen to me, put your ego aside
You will still fail in life, 2 pumps of perfume isn't going to fix everything. But its the easiest step forward you could take for getting a better life.
I'm harping on this so hard because the ROI is insane and the barrier of entry to perfume is so low
Compare:
Driving supercars
Making a ton of money
Going to the gym for 7 years
vs.
Spray yourself twice with a funny looking bottle every morning
as ways of gaining more confidence.
I'm not saying you shouldn't strive for those other things in life.
I'm trying to point out to you that applying perfume is such an easy thing to do with insane gains, you'd be a fool to not take advantage of it.
Hopefully by now your only objection left is the price tags that come with these funny bottles.
At the time of writing, " Sauvage by Dior ", the most popular fragrance in the world, costs 115 USD per 100 ml
Expensive?
100 ml can sprayed roughly 1500 times, lets be conservative and say 1400
if you spray 2 times a day, it will last you 700 days, that's almost 2 years.
roughly $0.16 per day, or $5 a month
That's the cost of service fees of one uber eats meal.
Imagine all the potential connections in life you could've made, all pissed down the drain because you have too big of an ego and not willing to spare 5 bucks a month.
If you're still not convinced, just keep these things I've mentioned in mind. I won't give up on you just yet,
I will have other great tips to dish out in the near future, hopefully something else beneficial to your life would resonate enough for you to take some action.
For those of you who can't wait to start on your fragrance journey, I will give you the steps I took to pick my scent right now.
Last thing to mention before we start,
I don't know who needs to hear this but:
You still need to shower my guy. No amount of perfume will cover up your stanch if its coming from you simply not showering.
Shower, put on non-scented deodorant, and then the perfumes.
There. Now onto the good stuff
Below are the 7 simple steps you can take now to start your journey to a superior life:
1) Next time you go to a mall, first thing you do is head straight to Sephora or Douglas, and spray perfume of your interest onto test strips, and put the strips in your pocket (make sure to remember which strip has which perfume on them)
2) start doing your normal mall things, walk around shop around etc.
3) occasionally take out the strips to smell them. This makes sure that you truly are smelling how the scents are supposed to smell like
4) repeat until you find a scent you enjoy
5) DO NOT BUY THEM YET
go on Youtube first and look at the reviews of the scent you are interested in.
lots of channels do street tests, they bring the perfume out to the streets and survey girls on what they think of the scent
(a channel I personally like is "Jeremy Fragrance", maybe it's just his sexy European accent, it scratches corners of my brain)
sometimes what you like is not what the masses like, but to be honest, only use these videos as references. You'll be the one smelling it all day anyways
6) once you really are set on a particular fragrance, unless you're a die hard Sephora fan, I would suggest going to "fragrancex.com", or "fragrancenet" and shop there instead. They have insane discounts the websites are totally legit.
(Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with them in any way shape or form)
7) There are a lot of different methods of applying perfume, I find it best to just have 1 spray behind each ear for me. Experiment or look up other methods.
Careful not to spray too much, or you will go right back into the ally of smelling like shit.
We all know that one douchebag. Don't be him
There's a saying in the fragrance world:
You want to be discovered, not announced
And there you have it, the greatest ROI you can do to increase the quality of your life and confidence.

TL;DR
All your potential to network and create meaningful connections with people are GONE if you stink. How do you expect people to have a conversation with you if they can barely breath next to you?
You won't know when you smell bad, better be safe than sorry and start applying perfume today
Applying perfume is such an easy way to boost confidence, and no one is doing it properly. You'll instantly stand out in a good way if you know how to take advantage of it
