If there’s one thing that makes even the homeliest, boring and unintelligent guys attractive to hot women, it’s the soft scent of a good cologne wafting from his body. I, for one, will spend extra time talking to a guy -- who normally wouldn’t interest me -- if I enjoy the way he smells. This is precious time that can be spent winning me over with his humor, intellect or descriptions of massive wealth.

Another situation where cologne gives men the extra edge is the second-look factor. When a women walks into a room, she can flaunt her cleavage, long legs, tight ass and more to get second looks from guys. Sadly, men can’t leverage their assets as well to attract attention from the opposite sex. But, when a man walks into a room smelling of raw goodness, you can bet the ladies will stand at attention.

A perfect example is that infamous cartoon skunk Pepe Le Peu. He’s French, which is already a strike against him, yet he always scores pussy out of his league by using his intoxicating aroma. (PS: I meant pussy literally -- he has a thing for cats.)

So here’s the skinny on the scent factor:

Why Cologne? There’s a commercial out there for Red Zone body spray that says, “scent is the strongest sense tied to memory.” Yep, it’s a scientific fact guys have a better chance of winning over women with smell than with sight. Another fact: Guys smell rank more often then women. Whether it’s nasty foot fungus, garlic breath or plain old B.O. – guy smell is a major turn-off. If you make the effort to smell above average, women will take notice.

What Cologne? There’s no such thing as Love Potion #9. Different guys should wear different scents based on their personalities and age. To make sure get the right toilet water for you, bring along a female friend or ask the sales chick behind the counter. And don’t forget to ask for her number while you’re at it. Take note men, this little lady simply melts when it comes to these scents: Kenneth Cole Reaction and Ralph Lauren Romance Silver Cologne

Where? Despite what other guys have told you, dabbing a good cologne in your nether regions does not create an instant beacon for blowjobs. Always spray some on your shirt. Then put a spot on each wrist – so she smells it when your arm’s around her shoulder. Finally put a dab on your neck under each ear – so when she’s leaning in close to speak to you in a crowded area she can sniff your hotness.
