Two women talking:
Woman 1: Oh! You got a haircut! That's so cute!
Woman 2: Do you think so? I wasn't sure when she gave me the mirror. I Mean, you don't think it's too fluffy looking?
Woman 1: No, it's perfect. I would love to get my hair cut like that, but I think my face is too wide. I'm pretty much stuck with this stuff I think!
Woman 2: Are you serious? I think your face is adorable. And you could easily get one of those layer cuts - that would look so cute I think. I was actually going to do that except that I was afraid it would accent my long neck.
Woman 1: Oh - that's funny! I would love to have your neck! Anything to take attention away from these football player shoulders of mine.
Woman 2: Are you kidding? I know girls that would love to have your shoulders. Everything drapes so well on you. I mean, look at my arms, see how short they are? If I had your shoulders I could get clothes to fit me so much easier.
Now, two men are talking:
Man 1: Haircut?
Man 2: Yeah.
This joke has been around for a while, but I still get a chuckle out of it. It certainly plays to the stereotypes, but it's also funny because there is a lot of truth to it. I think we here at Basenotes, demonstrate this almost daily.
I've been reading the SOTD threads on both forums for several weeks now, and almost every day I'm reminded of this joke. Over on the Female Forum, they (and the guys that participate there) get to know each other, wish each other Happy Birthday, console each other over the hardships of life, etc., etc. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it. I honestly think it's great.
Over here on the Male Forum though, we (and the females that participate) typically just name the fragrance we're wearing. Occasionally someone lists the notes or whether it's from a bottle, decant, sample, etc., or maybe where they got it. But even that is being stereotypically, analytical male. Sticking to just the facts.
Anyway, that was my observation, and I wanted to share it. No offense intended to anyone of either gender. I appreciate everyone who posts in either or both SOTD threads. I always look forward to reading them every day.
Cheers fellow Basenoters. You all smell great today.

I try to give it a sort of "frame"... why I chose the scent or how I like the sample...
"...jabber cupcakes and kittens."
