well i was cleaning my rifle yesterday before school( hey i had time before class so i went ahead and did it) and like always i was using hopps #9 but i spilled some on my shirt when i was closing the bottle and didnt feal like changing shirts so i went ahead and went to math class.....i had 4 girls tell me a smelled good even landed a date for tonight

HOPPS #9.......use as cologne

now any girl that likes the smell of gun solvent is my kinda girl....i think im gonna start putting it behind my ears :)
 
well this could mean 1 of 2 things

1. hoppes 9 is a natural aphrodisiac
2. thier fathers are shooters. now here me out. theres a theory that women tend to favor some one who reminds them of thier father ( assuming a normal father daughter relationship) by smelling the hoppes 9 they may be remembering thier father. *


* mostly psychobabble, but hey it sounds cool
 
thats weird why would a girls favor someone who reminds them of their father?
 
Freud would say: "Because they want to have sex with their father". The Electra Complex.

Might I suggest a book, Strong fathers Strong Daughters. I bought it when I My daughter was born. Also An author Neil Straus look for his book. They are sorta contradictory books but they say the same thing about Daughters and their Fathers.
 
I've experienced this a few times when I was a strict #9 user. Any women I had more than 1 minute of interaction with would usually note that I smelled great.

The deal with the father being a shooter is - Maybe they respect their father, maybe you handle your business in a similar manner, and maybe since the girl is obviously OK enough with herself to tell you you smell good, that her father might be somewhat of a rolemodel for her mates to follow and/or individually aspire to be.

Of course, Hopp's does smell pretty good, and maybe all of the above is looking into it a little too deep. Maybe she just likes the smell and has no idea why.
 
chriso - it's a pretty well-known phenomenon. People marry/seek out people of the opposite sex who remind them in one way or another of their parent figure of the opposite sex. Currently we're living with my FIL, and I can definitely see which traits my wife was attracted to - even though I manifest them differently than he does, they're still present.

The traits they're attracted to aren't necessarily positive, either; ergo, you've got girls/women repeatedly going with abusers, losers, and the like, for completely inexplicable reasons: chances are their dad sucked.
 
Women learn what is acceptable from a man from their father. Thus a large reason why women who come from homes with an abusive father tend to end up in abusive relationships.

It's not so much that they're attracted to their father as it is that their father has taught them by an example what a man should be, whether they're aware of it or not, and this usually means that someone fitting the same mold as their father is going to be attractive to them in that sense.
 
A little OT, but; I've also heard it said that men look for women resembling their mothers. Kind of an Oedipus Complex thing, but more psychobabble to throw in the pot.

Admittedly I'm not a Hoppes #9 user... maybe I should start since these threads keep popping up...
 
You can also try WD-40 perfume, another ravishing cologne from the WD-40 Company perfumes.

It is the epitome of refinement, with its marriage of indulgence and comfort set against a passionate delicacy of petroleum distillates.
 
My wife and I were visiting her cousin Rosemary when it came up in conversation that I had been shooting earlier in the day.

Rosemary grabbed me by the shoulders and said, "You've been shooting? Let me smell you!"

(Mind you, I am *not* used to women doing this.) (The fact the setting was Aunt Della's hospice room was even more remarkable.)

Cousin Rosemary's father had been a national match shooter so she associated the odor of what she called "gun oil" with her father. I'm sure the elusive smell she was after was Hoppe's #9 but alas I had to disappoint as I am a Ballistol man.
 
This is the second post today (along with the CLP-carrot post) discussing the odors of our cleaning products. Is there a full moon tonight? or are we all just suddenly becoming more refined for some reason?....perhaps its a side effect of the European atom smasher that started up this week?
 
Hoppe's #9 does smell good, there's no denying that. I've said for years that if any woman wanted to seduce me, a drop behind each ear would be all it took.

As for people seeking replacements for their parents, I'm afraid it's (mostly) true. My "Perfect Woman" composite bears about 90% of the traits my mother has. When that was pointed out to me, I started dating almost the complete opposite of what I'd sought before. It was no use. I know what attracts me, and it DOES look like my mother! :eek: (Only Younger!)

Tout au contraire.

A travel-sized 3 oz Handy Can can come in handy when you're boating, fishing, hunting, riding, or enjoying another recreational activity.
 
Just remember...WD-40 is okay as a cologne but not as a lubricant.;)
Ahhh! Nothing more refeshing than a newly open bottle of Hoppes #9.
 
My wife can't stand the smell of Hoppes #9. I had to switch to CLP if I wanted to clean anything in the house.

Just remember, a dash of #9 is not the same thing as a shower.
