You're outside in the heat.  You sweat.  You smell.  It's natural!

But when it comes time to alter your personal scent you better go easy on the cologne and aftershave.  Especially if you're planning a first date.

Female First advises men to back off.

A new survey found 68% of women have dumped a guy because they didn't like his cologne or aftershave.  And 52% have done it after the first date.

The survey didn't find out how many men have ended things with a woman because of their perfume . . . but it did find that 41% of guys hate the perfume their wife or girlfriend wears.

Now, for a man's opinion:  Women are guilty too!  A little dab will do ya.

Here's a thought.  When it comes time for a first date.  Have the no-cologne rule.  Then if there's a second date.  Take her shopping and stop by the men's section where they sell aftershave and cologne.  Let her choose.
