You Got Some 'Splaining To Do: Why Do Latino Men Wear So Much Damn Cologne?
Besides sexism, one of the many rites that Latino men try to instill in their sons is proper grooming, which in addition to shaving and using brillantina also includes the use of copious amounts of cologne. We’re all for grooming and hygiene, but we seriously need to discuss the need of some Latino men to channel Pepe le Pew and wear 67 ounces of cologne every damn morning. This is baffling beyond comprehension. Do Latino men have particularly pungent body odor? Do girls dig this shit? Do men think this is going to make them more sexually attractive? Please comment while we look for our asthma inhaler.

I have to admit the “Pepe le Pew” syndrome is cross-cultural. I have a friend of European descent that LOVES to wear way to much cologne. He has a fear of body odor and keeps at least one bottle of cologne in his car at all times in case he needs to refresh his scent. He starts his day with at least 4 squirts that go head to toe like a cologne waterfall. Horrible!
I prefer the minimalist approach. One spray is all you need.
If someone can tell you are coming before you have entered a room or said anything then there is a problem. If your scent sticks around after you leave… there’s a problem. If you can smell yourself… there’s a problem.
You get the idea.

@dickster: you write your own posts. You control how many of your posts there are here. Good lord, do you not get this? And good job with the woman-hating there. On what is now a (Latina) women’s site.
Anyway, it’s not true that all (or most) latino men wear too much cologne. Would you say that “all” or “most” _____ people do ________. Of course not, because it would be inaccurate, reductive, and an exercise in rampant generalization that is probably based on harmful stereotypes. Sometimes i find Guanabee’s particular brand of self-hatred a bit endearing, but it’s getting old.

Well, I use chingos de eau de toilet because I can afford expensive shit. On the other hand, my man-ho’s tell me their clients don’t like it when they wear too much cologne because their wives take note and beat the crap outta them. In conclusion: If you can afford it wear the hell out of it, tell the world u have monies. If you are a man-ho, abstain, but at least wash ur cooch. I’m high right now.
