Things like eating right, working out, getting a better job/money situation, learning verbal game, learning nonverbal/subcommunication game, growing a social circle, designing a better life – will take weeks, months, years, a lifetime.
As a quick note, there are 3 things most guys can do to become instantly more attractive in an afternoon. (This is the premise of a lot of makeover episodes on day time TV)
- Buy clothes that fit
- Get a good hair cut
- Pick a good cologne
With that out of the way, I’ve been on my cologne game heavy in prepping for the return of normalcy. Normally I rock Tom Ford Noir Extreme, Versace Eau De Fraiche, and whatever the incense man has available. (I’m Black, sue me)
That said, this pandemic has had me at home, working a lot more than usual. But I’m back on my kettlebells, back with intermittent fasting, back with keto, back with meditation.
On my “fragrance journey”, I subscribed to a lot of fragrance youtubers. One of my favorite body oils is Tobacco Vanilla. Made me wonder, what else was out there.
It’s a whole new world. I actually ended up copping the actual Tom Ford TV. (On sale! But still expensive by most normal standards)
I’d say most of the guys that are into cologne/perfume/fragrance aren’t necessarily the most “alpha” of men. They’re normal guys, not stereotypes.
Except for this guy.
Jeremy Fragrance.
He’s tall, good looking, blonde, blue eyed?, German, has the cars, the clothes, the apartment, the look.
To quote the kids, “He’s a Chad”.
IMO, he also has a great nose. I’ve added a few colognes to my wishlist because of him. (Also shout out to Big Beard Business, Bow Tie Fragrance Guy, Redolessence, Ash @ Gent Scents, and Chaos Fragrances)
But back to Jeremy.
He’s got the look.
But his videos are always a bit too honest, a bit too unpolished.
The things one learns unexpectedly.

At about the 4:30 mark, he says a prayer to God.
I don’t know how much of his personal life leaks onto his channel. (He does post 3-4 times per day though)
But he really speaks on the troubles he’s had in his life. (One of which is a very Red Pill topic, that I’m not gonna touch)
The key game principle here is that this is not a disclosure of strategic vulnerability.
Often times a brother might “let slip” a “problem” that isn’t really a problem.
Interviewer – “Your biggest weakness”
Archie – “I work too much”
It’s actually true, I give too much to the profession, but that’s exactly what the company wants to hear.
This disclosure is the opposite of that.
RP Newb – “But Mark Manson says I should be vulnerable”
Mark Manson – “Not like this”
What to make of this? Especially in these touch social media times.
Overall, it’s a study in online game, social media game, and just game in general.
