GOP operatives think women want men to smell like bbq sauce
No this is not from The Onion. :rofl:


<skip>

Mr. Thompson of St. Louis and Mr. Hall of Jefferson City are Republican strategists based in Washington, D.C., who, in their spare time, developed a line of barbecue sauces. One day, after sucking down some pulled pork, ribs or some other sauce-slathered treat, they had a thought, as the Post-Dispatch's Deb Peterson reported this week.

"Wow, that smells good."

<skip>

So they developed "Que," a line of barbecue-scented cologne.

Perhaps this is a telling insight into the difference between Democrats and Republicans. These two young Republicans, once staffers for former U.S. Sen. Jim Talent, turned a pastime into profits. Would Democrats have been so entrepreneurial? Perhaps not.
On the other hand, would Democrats think women would go for a guy who smells like barbecue?

Seriously, sounds like a great way for these two yahoos to spend the upcoming campaign season - developing bizarre colognes. Maybe they should expand to perfumes as well?

:rofl:

2. I'm liberal AND entrepreneurial - why does this author think they can get away with that bullcrap?
Prejudice.

6. Surprisingly, it works well if your wife or girlfriend wears
baby back ribs perfume.

8. It won't attract women. It might attract hungry, young men however.
Possibly not the effect they were going for.

9. But does K.C. Masterpiece attract a different type of woman than does, say, Heinz 57?
Should I marinate myself first? Are dry rubs effective?

Where's The Playboy Advisor when I need them?

10. They've got it backwards...
No man can resist a woman who smells like BBQ sauce.

16. Who needs cologne? I could roll around in hickory chips if I wanted to smell like that
Of course, that does risk splinters, but it's still an option.

20. A few years ago I read a supposedly scientific study that indicated women...
...we're attracted to men who smelled of sweat. Something to do with being a hard-working, survival-of-the-species type.














Sadly, experience tells me that many women are only attraced to the scent of money.
