      Judging from what I have read before, some men genuinely think being greasy, sweaty looking and not being clean is attractive. I have read some comments in Lemmy before from men who feels like they found the secret sauce to attracting women: just being hygienic. The latter, I could pass it because they seem like they are neurodivergent. But the former? I don’t even know. I heard it was more like a 90s and 00s trend. Maybe looking like you have a labour intensive job by looking greasy, sweaty and haven’t showered for couple of days will turn on women, which isn’t really the case.

        I was naught but a wee lad at the time but I think the trend back then was more about looking dirty rather than being dirty. Like the jeans coming pre-torn with bleach splotches added at the factory.

        I just think it’s a little weird that out of all the terrible things Peterson has said people pick on him for one of the actual good pieces of advice he gave. Like yeah to most of us it’s pretty fucking obvious advice but I’ve heard things that I wish I hadn’t regarding the people whomst it wasn’t obvious to.
