Ladies, picture this: a man’s been swiping through profiles for what feels like hours. He’s exhausted, his thumbs are sore, and he’s almost lost all hope of finding someone who doesn’t list “making TikToks” as their only hobby. Then, he comes across your profile—finally, a breath of fresh air! Everything looks good, your photos are on point, and he’s already imagining how great it would be to get to know you. But then… he reads it.
Right there, in bold letters: “If you shower every day and brush your teeth regularly, swipe left. I prefer the natural scent.”
Record scratch. Hold up. Did he just read that right? Not into showering? Not into brushing? You prefer him au naturel? Suddenly, that breath of fresh air he was imagining is turning into a hygiene alert siren going off in his head. Red flags? More like a whole parade of them. He’s now picturing the scent of “natural” as something less like a breezy meadow and more like a wrestling match between a skunk and a gym bag.
Now, don’t get me wrong—embracing your natural self is awesome! But let’s not forget, even Mother Nature herself gave us rivers, waterfalls, and, yes, the glorious invention of soap. Sure, if you’re both living in the wilderness, surviving off berries and building fires with sticks, maybe a daily shower isn’t on the agenda. But let’s be real—unless your first date is a survivalist challenge in the heart of a forest, a little cleanliness goes a long way.
So here’s the deal: while it might seem funny to declare your preference for the natural scent, what your potential match is seeing is a big, flashing “Caution: May Contain Funk” sign. Trust me, he’s not thinking, “Wow, she’s so down to earth!” He’s thinking, “Do I need to bring Febreze on our date?” Not exactly the vibe you’re going for, right?
Let’s be real here—hygiene isn’t just a suggestion, it’s a requirement. You wouldn’t skip brushing your teeth before a job interview, so why skip it when you’re trying to land a date? Even the most rugged of guys likes his partner to smell, well, nice. So, before you hit save on that bio, maybe reconsider broadcasting your aversion to basic hygiene. You’re trying to attract a soulmate, not someone who’s okay with holding their breath for the entire date.
Swipe right on cleanliness, and let’s keep the “natural scent” to nature itself, where it belongs. Trust me, your future match—and their nose—will thank you!
