[quote name='Dave' date='Mar 7 2005, 05:39 PM'] As for your 2nd question, at least with the deodorants I've come across, even the best-smelling ones have a scent that makes it obvious that it's deodorant and not cologne.

As for your first question, well ... this priest acted rather effeminately what with the way he talked, certain mannerisms, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if he was gay. So if he is in fact gay, then to me his wearing of cologne could possibly give people the wrong idea. [/quote]
So you think someone who doesn't meet your standards of masculinity shouldn't wear cologne in case we might decide he is a homosexual?

just a tad judgemental ?

Yeah, thats what I was thinking... along with Red's coment about some deodorants smelling really good and like cologne. I LOVE the way Old Spice Red Zone smells but it doesn't work for Matt so he won't wear it (for which I am thankful, I'd rather have him use deodorant that works than deodorant that I like the smell of that still lets BO come through. lol). My brothers wear it and they smell really good even when they don't wear cologne.

I think its cultural, like were I grew up men didn't really wear colonge, so I definately take notice when guys walk buy smelling good, so I can definately understand where your coming from. I have to refrain myself from telling strangers they smell good. See how bad that sounds?
Take the AXE commercials, the whole point is that women are being attracted to METAL, not even MEN, that smell good. One problem is that smell as they say is that smell the strongest sense tied to memory, so just think what your colonge may be doing to womens minds, if their boyfreind, husband, etc had a similar sent. Personally I'm glad my husband only wears it when we go out together....specail treat all for me!
Personally I think its different for women, I wear perfume sometimes at work and when I go out because its more culturly acceptable to me for women to always smell nice. But I like body sprays b/c they are lighter and not so overpowering.
Thats my two cents

No, you're totally missing the point. You know what they say assuming does, don't you? At any rate, cologne is usually associated with attracting others, at least if those cologne commercials are any indication, although it seems now that, judging from the other responses, that's not necessarily the case. Actually, I'd have felt the same way if the priest was straight. But considering what others have said, I think I'll be changing my position.

bump so Cmom can see my response

I'm going to approach this from a different angle. Some people have allergic reactions to perfumes/colognes. I had a former co-worker who often had to leave early and work from home if someone who reeked of smoke or perfume was around. Someone at mass might have such an allergic condition.

Cologne just hides your stink.

I'd rather have a nice smelling priest than a stank one. If he's going so far as to apply cologne because of his pursuit of sex, he probably wouldn't have become a priest.

[DancesforLove]

I don't think they should...it seems weird to me too. You're a priest not a model..

[Dave]

No, I think I'd have to disagree about cologne hiding your stink. If you had B. O., then if you put on cologne you'd smell like B. O. and cologne!

When I was a kid we used to laugh at the "B & O Railroad" slot on Monopoly.

"You landed on B&O! You might as well BUY IT because you're the King of B.O.!"

That and when I was filing my state taxes for my business, there was a section going over "B & O Tax" and it made me chuckle just thinking about both that and us as giggling Monopoly kids.

I am in total support with priest being both up to date with Hegine and physically fitness. I think it strengthens one's character and life. I say let them where their cologne just not to much.

hmmm i dunno depends on the priest. but I hate it when young guys wear cologne just for every day. I dont mind older guys but younger guys..... just seems silly to me. but I do really like cologne when guys dress up!

It could be something simple like aftershave, too. I think as it is, it might not be a big deal. It could be just be habit or morning ritual he had before seminary that never went away, and never really gave much thought. Ya know, every morning splash on some Old Spice or whatever after shaving, out of habit.

I wear my Coco Chanel on very special days when I just want to feel like life is special and to be celebrated. It has nothing to do with dating or dudes or anything like that. I just think of the time I was visiting my cousin in Germany and we were all having such a blast -- some of the best days of my life -- and one day before an outing, she said "Time for some Coco!" and I literally thought she meant hot chocolate. But she meant the perfume. So I bought a bottle of my own when I came back home.

So when it's a Coco day, it's a special day.

I know a priest who wears cologne. Possibly cuz in my culture, we spray ourselves down. It's not something of attractiveness neccisarily. It has to do with class.
