Hi Everyone,
Something happened to me today that made me think of Eli's "Girl Pants" thread, so I thought I would write a bit of a parody.
In Eli's thread, he bought a pair of secondhand pants in the men's section... but they wound up being a very feminine size 8 (in other words, he accidentally bought a pair of women's pant.)
Every year after Christmas, I dare to wrestle the raging crowds just to swipe up a couple of discounted women's fragrance sets at Walmart. I then try to ration them out in order to make them last the whole year until the next 50% off markdown comes around again.
Today, I broke up a bottle of perfume from Adidas and... I think that it really, really makes me smell like a guy. Like seriously. I almost felt like I had to double-check to make sure I wasn't growing in twice as much arm hair on the spots where I had sprayed it.
Now I know someone might say, "Well duh, Seoul, it's from ADIDAS," but they had another fragrance a few years ago that was soft and floral that I absolutely loved, and the box specifically said, "For women." Sure. Maybe if it's "Pat" from Saturday Night Live...
And thus brings me to my next conundrum: every time I get a fragrance that doesn't quite work for me, I usually give it to a friend with several girls in her family, so I know it won't go to waste -- SOMEONE in her clan is bound to like it.
But with this fragrance, I almost wonder if giving it to my female friend would be an insult ("Here. This makes ME smell totally manly... But I'm sure it will be PERFECT on YOU!") implying that she herself is manly (I assure you, she is not.)
On the other hand, I suppose I could give it to a guy friend (it's in a blue bottle,) but I'm pretty sure HE would take it an insult and maybe even an implication that he's not manly enough (and is maybe even a little girly.)
I just hate to see anything go to waste, especially since it's brand-new and only been sprayed once.
How about the rest of you?
* What do you do when you buy or receive something that doesn't work for you?
* Do you throw it away, give it away, sell it on ebay?
* Has someone ever given you something that THEY didn't need or want, but it turned out to be one of the best things ever for YOU? Tell us the story.
In the meantime, don't pay any attention to the manly scent engulfing the atmosphere of this thread.
Maybe next week, I'll bust open the Old Spice.

I'm wondering though about Eli's purchase...was it really a mistake? 🤔😜

Hi Tore,
I'm sure you remember the times around 2015-ish or so when we used to have lots of threads going... And lots of regulars here in Singles, so once we all got to know each other a little bit, the threads would turn into everyone gently riffing/joking about each other's posts. It was a blast. I am hoping to bring some of that back.
I try to start with the people I know pretty well, because I have an idea of how much I can get away with when joking with them (so I think)... I'm hoping that by reading these types of threads, people will start to feel more comfortable talking/bantering back and forth during the discussions. There are times when I'd love to banter with some of the newer users/ones I don't know as well, but I don't feel I know them well enough and don't want to offhandedly offend them.
So, I'm hoping that that threads like this will help lay the groundwork for a more comfortable, actively interactive community.
Great to see you back!
