In some of the most blatant false advertising campaigns, commercials for those Tag and Axe body sprays always show women more or less attacking any guy that sprays this stuff on his person.
I’ll tell you right now, this just doesn’t happen in real life. And, it is exactly the reason why I have yet to buy any of these types of products. If it was guaranteed that flocks of gorgeous women would be chasing me down in grocery store aisles and parking lots, I would buy this stuff by the case.
And to the ladies out there, do you find this at all offensive that these companies believe that just a guy smelling good will have you all over him?
Anyway, I think my associate Ryan put it best after seeing an Axe commercial.
“I have Axe and that has never happened!” He exclaimed.
It sure hasn’t. Because if that crap really worked, I’d use it all the time. Women chase money. Not body spray.
If I buy this stuff, can I get my money back when hot women don’t try to trample me on the streets?

I don’t find these commercials offensive because I don’t take them seriously. Like most ad campaigns, they are using sex and insecurity to sell a product.
For men, show hot, horny women and you all buy whatever product the ad is pitching. Even if it’s as ridiculous as cheap body spray.
For us ladies, show hot, skinny women and we flock to buy the product so we can look like these beautiful creatures we see on t.v.
We chase money like men chase the unattainable woman. I am certain there aren’t nearly as many women looking for a free ride as there are men looking for a hot piece of ass as a trophy.
And seriously, if you use a cheap body spray you can find in any Wal-Mart, you will get a cheap skank you can find in any Wal-Mart. Show some class boys…

you wouldn’t have such a hard time…
It’s not the body spray that’s failing you, you’re failing the body spray.

I never denied that I was an ugly bastard.

I have found that my girl friend infact does fall for body spray, i sprayed myself while she was in the room the other day and as she smelt it in the air she said “damn that smells so good” then began smelling me up close, after she finished we had sex
maybe this stuff could work to a sertain point. Never know!
