Deodorant is a cheap way to ensure you smell fresh so people are willing to sit next to you on the bus. From a practical point of view, one deodorant is made up of all the same chemical ingredients as another deodorant. But men’s deodorants tend to be cheaper and come in larger quantities than women’s versions. They also have super cool names like Ice Cold Avalanche or Sexy Lumberjack or Hardcore Flame. It’s fun.
Not to mention the sheer comedic value of going on a date with a guy and correctly guessing his deodorant brand of choice. It’s a great gimmick and conversation starter, “Oh wow, we use the same deodorant — we have soooo much in common.” That’s my go-to line.
