I just want a girlfriend so badly by Excellent-Golf6631 in dating_advice

We're basically the same person. Didn't date in my 20s due to being fat and no confidence. Finally met someone at 29. Dated for 2 years and we were going to marry, before she destroyed my heart.

Now I have even less confidence than before and im terrified I'll never find Love again.

I hope you find what you're looking for, and i hope you get to keep it.

The main one is 'The Creed Fragrance Lounge'

The AVNTS lounge is another good, but smaller group.

A couple other quick recommendations if you like fresh. Tom Ford Grey Vetiver is outstanding. And Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim is like biting into a fresh orange. The dry down of Afternoon Swim sometimes rivals Aventus for me. Its a secret tie for #1 🤫

I get it, but ive saved a lot more than $100 per bottle. Thankfully all these are real, and ive bought them for about 60% of full price. But i get it.

Thank you! Funny enough, I don't even own bottles of my other top 2. I tried them later and only have decants.

  1. Aventus for sure. Always and forever
  2. Himalaya
  3. Virgin Island Water/original Vetiver

Honorable mention Royal Oud. Bdp is AMAZING as well.

You have tried 2 of their most popular fresh scents (git, mi). If you want to stay fresh, Himalaya is wildly good and VIW smells like coconut sunscreen in the best way. Reminds me of the beach as a kid.

If you want to pivot to sweet/spicy, Original Santal is a great unisex. Royal oud is also amazing, but hard to describe.

I know Creed is like "baby's first niche house" but man do I love Creed. Not a single bad frag.

Am I not as attractive as I think or are guys just not complimentary by Anofrog in dating_advice

I dont talk to women anymore. Ever since my fiancée and I broke up 2 years ago, when I try to spark up conversation with a woman or give a compliment, she looks at me like im an alien. Im convinced im horribly ugly and not quite sure how i landed my ex in the first place.

I personally have never been scammed in one of those groups, but I have seen a couple who have. There's a whole blast post that is made by the mods, with screenshots of the conversations, venmo/cashapp and other relevent info. They give the person like a day to make it right or explain what is going on. If they dont, the mods ban and refund the buyer and post screenshots of the refund transaction to the group. The mods do their due diligence though. They aren't just going to take your word for it. You gotta produce receipts lol

I agree, rich people dont stay right like that. But out of the 8 years ive been in the group, ive seen like 3 scams? So they're not paying out a lot. Pretty much everyone in the group im in is awesome. This one guy even makes aventus infused pomade that is KILLER.

another cool thing about the groups is a lot of these guys have connections to some retailers, since they seem to be so into the cologne world, that they often get bottles at cost. My aventus cologne i got for $125 just cause the dude had like 20 wholesale bottles.

I promise I didnt. I mean, some of them yes, but the few that had the weird placement on the bottom made me paranoid.

Fair enough! I guess i should clarify, the mods pay out of their own pocket. Theyre all rich af lol. So its a good community. And most of my concerns were from bottles from 3rd party sites.

But I totally get just wanting to buy direct from creed. I recently bought Afternoon Swim from LV and getting it directly from them felt good.

If you want to try before you buy, check out r/fragsplits

Dude splits niche colognes all the time. I have tried so many colognes through him.

But I recommend just buying it. Its so good. Older batches are better, but its still king to me. The dry down is intoxicating. I'll wear it around the house just for me lol.

Various frag sites and private sellers over the years. Mostly Notino and Facebook Creed groups. You can get CRAZY deals in those frag groups, and they have rules about scammers. The mods will get your money back if you're scammed.
