A handsome man, who has been completely ripped out of all body fat and looks like he hasn't stepped out of gym in a long long time and been on a carb free diet for a good period of time, walks on a path and girls are flying high and falling for and over him ... Just to get a fragrance he is wearing ...
A girl and a boy get attracted ( like two magnets and start their mushy acts) because of a fragrance.
Etc

Yeah .. I am talking about overtly s*xual deodorant ads we see on television.
The example I stated are still way too decent but there are numerous others which I fail to put in words.
Using gender attraction in ads for selling products has become very common for deodorant ads. They are practically stepping on the line now.
I read somewhere that animals attract their mates with different techniques likes hooting, colors, dancing and even showing power. And in this respect there is role of body odor in cases of humans.
Looks like advertisers have taken this point way to seriously. They think rather than opting for a pleasant fragrance, people will choose the product counting the number of girls falling down.
Well I don't want to get into the rights and wrongs, but I wonder do girls fall for a guy wearing XYZ perfume ... I thought we are the most developed species on earth and we apply our brain and not nose to choose our partners..
Thanks,
Shweta
I agree with you on that..girls don't fell for just smell

ReplyDeleteBTW.. I like how u come with posts on such stupid ads.!! ;)
true .. we apply brains while choosing our guy .. thanks :)
DeleteYeah I find these ads, ridiculous. Especially the Ax ones where herds of girls are portrayed as cows trying to run behind a single man. I think they are trying to market it for men alone, because all men think about is how to get more girls, and girls acting like brainless cows is a dream come true to all of them.
ReplyDeletehahaha really well said dear ! Loved the line 'we are the most developed species on earth and we apply our brain and not nose ' BEst one
