Jesus Christ.the guy said something would be gay. It's not the end of the world. It's barely even homophobia.and I'm sure many of the people pointing it out have said something similar at one point in their lives.At the very least I'm sure you each hang out with someone who has said it once, and I doubt you called them out on it. So many people on this forum make a situation about nothing.
back on topic. I use un scented shower gels, such as Sanex Zero or Dove/Nivea for men.
dove or sure deodorant. Not one that smells too much, just to stop excess sweat and have a fresh smell. If I'm going somewhere important, I'll wear an aftershave that's musky and powerful. For a normal day I'll probably just use something from the body shop and not apply much at all. You don't need to do much to smell good tbh. Just shower properly. Appearance is much more important than aftershave IMO
