Judging from what I have read before, some men genuinely think being greasy, sweaty looking and not being clean is attractive. I have read some comments in Lemmy before from men who feels like they found the secret sauce to attracting women: just being hygienic. The latter, I could pass it because they seem like they are neurodivergent. But the former? I don’t even know. I heard it was more like a 90s and 00s trend. Maybe looking like you have a labour intensive job by looking greasy, sweaty and haven’t showered for couple of days will turn on women, which isn’t really the case.
I was naught but a wee lad at the time but I think the trend back then was more about looking dirty rather than being dirty. Like the jeans coming pre-torn with bleach splotches added at the factory.
