    Comment: Actually it's quite amazing that a woman's sense of smell is about 10 times better than a mans. Seems like everyday more amazing scents for guys are created to attract women (see xfragrances.com) and some of them are actually proven to work.

    Comment: Disgusting would be putting it mildly. Standing around with your nose in some guys armpit; you are kidding, right? Go bake a cake.

    Comment: Is there some shampoo or something we can use? Maybe with a little conditioner in it, you know? As for the stale urine, I can make plenty of that just watching a hockey game...should I mix up my own special potion? And where do I find all those ladies to sniff my armpits? I tried that in downtown Denver and the women of Colorado did not seem anxious for a sample.
