Is it gay for guys to wear perfume?
Well guys, don't start bashing me just yet. I usually use axe and KC cologne, so I'm not into all that female stuff. My dad recently bought something called Dove Revive spray, it smells like a 40$ perfume but costs 5 dollars. It smells sort of feminine, but I kinda like the smell. Would you guys wear it? If yes/no, would you think a guy is wierd/gay if they wore it?

Stop using that woman's scented body wash... I'm on a horse
Not too much cause I just hate smelling that strong scent, then I start sneezing and it feels like someone's shoving pine needles in my nose. It's not gay at all, it's called caring for your smell so you don't smell like a pig. Unlike people who think that smelling like a pig is fine...
I wore it, and my best friend is like why do you smell like my mom? FML D:
[quote=Narcissus]deodorant is wonderful, but deodorant and cologne/perfume are completely different
they also don't have a strong odor, it's just that the majority of people in this world don't know how to use either of them ahahah[/quote]
Deo is basically "anto-body odour" stuff, and then cologne/perfume is that stuff you wear when you go out on a date (or just in general, out), right?
D:
Nope, I don't see what's wrong about smelling nice. If people respect your privacy, they would compliment you and move on.
Looks rather feminine but if you like it, go for it!
@Narcissus: Because old spice smells good as well, and it's a good deodorant. Perfume/ Cologne have such a strong oder as well, but if they made a quality vanilla deodorant I would probably use it.
You can just pour beer over yourself.
I like smelling like a fruit. I use Herbal Essence and a citrus body wash. It smells better than that manly trucker kid in my spanish class who smells like a trash can or that idiot wearing cologne.
[quote=Narcissus]nope
i wear dior hypnotic poison, and it smells like vanilla and so many other amazing things
both men and women compliment it, and i don't see how that's gay or bad in any sense.[/quote]
Just because men and women compliment it doesn't mean it doesn't have the essence of being "gay." Vanilla does smell good, however, but I'd rather stick with Old Spice.
Depends on how much you use your cologne. For me, I only use it when I'm going out with girls. Otherwise, I find it a hassle.
I wear perfume, makeup, leggings, heels, leather jackets, implants, and jewlery and im not gay
oh man, i love that body mist.
smells soooo goooodddd.
and feminine.
there is absolutely nothing wrong with smelling like a new born fresh meadow flower under the cool warm sun on a funny sunny day.
Why does everyone mock homosexuals? They're perfectly okay. If someone is different from another, it doesn't make them wierd. We're all different in a different way, so I guess everyone is wierd then. I'm sorry if I used gay in a sort of offensive manner, I just thought that this word would suit basil's intelligence level better.
@miishelle I live in Toronto :S Thanks a lot, Im gonna check out my sears
lol i say if it smells fruity then yes ghay if not then yr fine bro
@miishelle how much does that cost? Also where do I buy it? there seems to be no stores here that sell Ed Hardy stuff :S
I use Cologne for daily purposes like going to school, and Perfume for casual occasions. But that dove thing... it look gayish
[quote=dogloverbryce]Yes. if your going to smell like super yummy vanilla and rainbow strawberries (Perfume) then your gay.[/quote]
The only thing that would be 'gay' is if he started sleeping with guys after using this perfume.
Just because he's using a perfume doesn't make him automatically like gays and turn gay.
OT: People on basilmarket are filled with a bunch of 13-14 y/o's who don't know what the hell they're talking about or never been in the real world. I agree with what someone else in this post said, in the actual world if someone smells you, they're not gonna think "Omg... that smells... feminine...GAY!" No, they're just gonna think you're actually a good-smelling guy and actually take care of your hygiene and don't like to smell like a middle school boys locker room. Which I know would make women like you more.
So don't listen to anyone in this post who says yes, because in all actually no, it's not gay/weird/creepy for a guy to wear a cologne/perfume that doesn't smell like the SAME middle-school-locker-room scent that every other guy uses.
@Cyrus0 Oh god fever is like my least favourite xD Its like a mix of ciitrus and stuff.
[quote=AsianNetwork]I like to smell like strawberries.
Is that a problem?[/quote]
I put a manly accent on that second line, then proceeded to burst out laughing...
[url=http://www.perfumetr.com/designers/Lomani/product/Men/Ab-Spirit.jpg]I use AB Spirit by Lomani.[/url] It smells like the tears of Chuck Norris.
@Orange : SCIENCE!
Yes, obviously using perfume with change your sexual orientation.
@NicePwn:
I heard girls like that.
I don't like the axe smell, I like the perfume smell that girls wear, something light and sweet And if you're that worried about people thinking you're gay, just say it's a male foreign brand
[quote=Pookiemookie]Its not. I'm a girl and really like the smell of cologne on a guy.[/quote]
'Cause all girls are the exact same!
Uh. It looks pretty feminine. But yeah, looks dont always matter. =/

If it smells like flowers or fruit, it may be associated with feminism or homosexuality.
Otherwise, no.
[quote=dogloverbryce]Basil is going to tell you no. The truth is, yes its gay. DO NOT wear it..[/quote]
Its not. I'm a girl and really like the smell of cologne on a guy.
I use perfume.
Something wrong?
[quote=ShotFailed]@ddvessel I'm pretty sure its the same for AXE as well [/quote]
you're supposed to do a quick spray, you don't want to smell like a walking middle school locker room
[quote=Narcissus]nope

Ohohoho the irony.

@kaboobs Well cologne smells more masculine, while perfume makes me drool.
@Dtrix I sorta like it though :S
