How not to smell like a french whore when you get home

I work M-F 9-5 and like to sneak out on the DL for lunch. Problem is, I worry about the smell from all the perfume and lotions. What can I keep in the office to clean up before going home to the wife?
I went to the thrift store and grabbed some slacks, shirt and longsleeve light sweater I can wear to avoid skin contact. But I still get paranoid I smell. I try to wash off the stink in the sink, but I still don't feel 100% sure it's gone. Maybe just guilt and paranoia. Any tips from you degenerates would be greatly appreciated.

Many guys here in the past have actually gone to extreme lengths such as having a duffle bag in their car with extra clothes ant all times and joining a gym solely to use the shower facilities before they returned home.

You've already learned something helpful, and that is buying throwaway clothes if you can keep spare clothes somewhere like a gym or at work. Some of the less aware strippers layer on the scents and that stuff just doesn't come out of clothes fast enough. The girls don't care about what you're wearing so long as it's clean and doesn't stink.

Other stuff:
- A travel steamer can help you with that, but it's better to have other clothes if you're into grinding with perfumy dancers.
- If you use a bar soap at home stop that immediately and use body wash. Keep the same body wash you use in a small travel container somewhere you can access it whereever you are. Half an ounce should do. If you have a stripper scent emergency it's better to smell like you than her. Just learn how long it takes or how much wiping you need to do to "age" it so it doesn't smell like you just took a shower.
- Pick girls who don't smell like a Macy's perfume counter lol.
- Scentless wipes can help, but that's more like break glass in case if emergency.
- Smelly takeout food or a slip up at the gas pump are your options of last resort.

Back when I cared if I could smell the girl before she got close to me she was sent away immediately. Others I would invite to sit beside me and casually check for perfume before I decided to let them on me. If I cared about speaking with them ever again I'd tell them they had on too much perfume for my tastes when I asked them to go. The ones who understood their market would seek me out the next time sans perfume.

"Bad judgement comes with a price: smelling like bad judgement. But, instead of answering 20 questions about where you've been and who you've been with, you can spritz on an excuse to cover up your naughty night. Introducing Alibis Fragrance For Men in scents like "I was working late," (that smells of "coffee, wool suits, cigarettes, and ink"), "My car broke down," (with hints of fuel and burnt rubber), and "I was out sailing," (which we can only assume, bottles sea-salt and fresh air, or, if you're on the Hudson, sewage and gas scents from Jersey). For now, the product is only being sold in a South African strip club, but we can only hope NYC is next. Yes, it's hard to get behind a product that's meant to deceive, and no, we don't frequent strip clubs ourselves (uh, seriously), but Westway's close enough, and lord knows we've walked out of that place looking for some sort of olfactory refresher. Though Alibis has a very specific audience, we're thinking it's too-cool-for-school enough that someone like Opening Ceremony might just pick up, and we're also hopeful that there will be a new line that comes out to service women's excuses. We expect those to come in scents like, "I was at lunch with my sister," in order to cover up the stench of all the plastic we burned shopping. "

I told the best looking dancer at my local club that the reason I didn't get dances from her was because of the amount of perfume she wore. Her reply was "why should I change just for you?" She's quite popular so clearly she doesn't need my pittance of LD fees.

The best way to deal with this is to work out a deal with your wife. If you don't smell of perfume you can get into bed without showeing. If you stink, you shower or sleep on the couch. This has worked for 33 years for us,

A few years later if she's still there remind her of that when she wipes the perfume off before your vip trip.

Tell that bitch no? I don't need a woman badly enough to put up with that shit. Plus anyone I'd get with now has to be okay with "wallanon" because it's too much of a hassle to keep it all separate. At least with how I've handled things since the pandemic.

One of the girls I've started seeing is dropping hints like she wants off the market and (most likely stupidly) I'm not 100% opposed to the idea. Aside from being hot she's kidless, educated, and the right age. And I'm also not entirely convinced she's isn't more gay than bi lol. It's totally arbitrary, but the thing I'm most on the fence about is a well done but very large tattoo that's unhideable in a nice gown.

I'm in a bad situation with a wife who'd I'd say is pretty prude and clinically depressed so I need to play it VERY careful or all hell will break loose for me and my kids.
So, yes she tracks my every move on FindMy.
I try to schedule it when I know she'll be busy at work or with a friend. I time out the drive so I'm back quick enough it won't arouse suspicion. I normally say "I have a client coming in at noon" or something like that and I'm in and out like a hitman.
Just trying to get more tips I haven't thought of.

@artie- you’re not alone with a wife tracking your every move. I think it’s pretty typical. You can only use the “phone ran out of charge” excuse so many times. Yes, life was a lot simpler before all this wonderful technology.
Whenever I complain to my wife about not wanting to be tracked, she responds with “why? Are you going somewhere you’re not supposed to be?” Or “I’m only doing this because I’m concerned about your safety”. So yeah, I use the client meeting excuse too. I just wish they put strip clubs in office buildings downtown. I don’t have too many clients working out of a grimy industrial park near the airport.

That's not how geolocation works. It doesn't matter at all where she is it matters where your device is. She can track you from the moon. Fucking hell why ask a question that's completely not about the problem you're trying to solve? Rick Dugan is MIA but if he was around he'd tell you to grow some balls. Even so I digress.

To solve your track my balls problem, make a friend you can actually trust to keep your phone while you're off fucking around. Tell them never to answer it, but if you're future ex-wife is blowing up your phone to send a text message that you're in a meeting and to fuck off.

Old joke: the admiral and the master chief petty officer were the oldest guys on the base, and they happened to be sitting next to each other at the barber shop. One barber asked the admiral if he'd like a new scented hair tonic. Admiral says, "No, I don't want my wife thinking I smell like a French whore house." Then the chief tells his barber, I'll try some of that hair tonic. MY wife doesn't know what a French whore house smells like."

Answering the original question, you have the right idea about the change of clothes. Change before you go into the club. Not only does this keep your work clothes free of eau de stripper, it also allows you to change into your preferred club comfortable clothes.

On the phone thing, you’re kinda fucked. Does Find My work across platforms? Maybe find a reason to upgrade your phone to Android? Break your phone, give it to a kid and get yourself a new one, or just upgrade.

You guys that have wives like the OP I feel sorry for you guys. People saying “leave that bitch” don’t realize it’s not always that simple. I have a friend who’s in a similar situation and his life is miserable. He can’t go to the bathroom without being monitored. He makes a lot of money and his wife is a stay at home mom with ludicrous lifestyle expectations so she has a firm grasp on his balls (aka) her meal ticket.

If it were me no matter how painful financially I’d cut the ties and walk, but many guys can’t do it for a number of reasons. Pride, the kids, financially, etc.

It’s guys like this that remind you why cam girls and porn are such big industries, because it’s the only relief some of these guys have access to.

Surprised nobody has mentioned glitter so far. I do the 'second wardrobe" thing and a birdbath at the office or convenience store restroom sink, but glitter gets everywhere and clings like death. Plus, it is as impossible to explain as an unfamiliar scent. The only answer is, if you see a dancer at the SC who glitters, take a step away and leeave her to the single guys.
Another advantage of the "second wardrobe" is that the change of clothes back from SC clothes to real-world clothes gives a chance to take stock and secure things like condoms and large denomination bills that you don't want to make a spontaneous appearance at home.

"People saying “leave that bitch” don’t realize it’s not always that simple."

Not one person on this thread told the OP to leave his wife. That marriage doesn't sound like it's going through make it because of the age we live in, but he's a grown man and can decide what he wants. Dude asked half a question about smelling like another woman, somebody brought up something from their own situation about tracking which got a response, and then the OP came back and said he had the same problem. It's easier to have a conversation when the story isn't changing with every new post.

To generalize this, when you've got an unreasonable partner who's constantly on you and accusing you of being unfaithful you should consider what's going on inside their heads.

Real talk to all the dudes reading: it's better for your mental health not to sneak. Divorce is scary. But I'm reminded of JS69 who used to post a lot here, who was unhappy in his marriage and turned to strippers, eventually got divorced and found himself a civvy who makes his penis happy and moved. On from this world.

It's ok for men to advocate for their needs even though society teaches us we shouldn't. Either work out an agreement, move on from your marriage, or don't sneak.

As for tracking you either need to find someplace 1/4 mile or less away that you can park at and then walk to the club (good Asian or Mexican food is ideal), or suck it up and Uber. Or get a bicycle you can ride from work? See, this is where it ends up being so much extra work.

Case study for the younger guys in what to look for when dating, before moving onto marriage. If she's attempting to track you when still dating, it's a red flag that you should consider before making it permanent. Many bad decisions are made from insecurity and horniness. Don't allow those things to lead to a lifetime of misery.

If she starts monitoring after marriage, then that really sucks; as there was no warning.

Regarding shailynn's friend....it seems the wife sees things as opposite of what is logical. If she wants/needs a luxiourious lifestyle, it would seem she should be more accommodating, to avoid him leaving. Depends how wealthy he is....some guys have a lot of money, but not so much that alimony and child support would degrade their lifestyle. For others, though, 50% of wealth is still plenty. It's the guys in the former situation that are trapped.

Restaurants are good suggestions. Kinda tough to Uber without taking your phone with you.

A lot of families share locations with parents and kids at all times, especially once the kids learn to drive. I believe in order to see location of kids, you have to share your own location but my family doesn’t do this. Sometimes tracking is a sign of insecurity or control issues, other times it’s just a family thing to keep tabs on the kids, but where one person “opting out” might send up a red flag.

I keep my hobby to out of town trips with clean changes of clothes, always shower after, sometimes twice, night and morning both, and I do my own laundry.
I power off the phone or turn off gps before I leave the hotel or other legitimate restaurant etc and we don’t share location data anyway, I’m just extra paranoid. I track my kids phones, I don’t really watch them but have it turned on in case of emergency and more often because they always lose their devices but I don’t think they can see my location.

Getting a job with some travel requirements has been a good move for my hobby. I can forestall the itch knowing I’ve got a trip coming in the next month or two.

I agree 100% with the advice not to start into deceiving if possible, but there are ways to get by and not embarrass yourself or your family.

Reading through these comments reminds me that relationships are complex, and nobody has the right answer for what someone else is going through.

For me, I club with low expectations and find the girls who are comfortable getting to know me a little and comfortable in trying to get me off w/out exchanging bodily fluids. It’s my little rule that helps me deal with the hobby w/out too much guilt. Everyone rationalizes their behavior, and for me it’s like getting a massage for relaxation when I get dances from a stripper. Keep it in my budget and leave my feelings at the door, and if any perfume gets in me change into a new shirt or avoid others, including loved ones, until I clean up. To each their own. There’s even a demented dude on here that goes to clubs and is a cuck, letting his wife fuck other dudes. That’s how he deals with life. Quite strange but it’s his life, not one I’d recommend for a real man.

I’m also absolutely militant about never using the credit card or club atm (to some girls’ frustration). Plan ahead, withdraw the cash away from the scene in time and location. This also helps me stay within the budget I decided on when I was sober and without irresistible boobs in my face. If I cave on the budget I make myself leave the club to find an outside atm.

Credit cards suck cuz dancers get less of a cut.


Also at a lot of clubs that shit gets 1099'd meaning u must pay taxes on it after the fact. Some clubs will w2 cc transactions so at least they handle the tax paying for ya.

Either way between club taking their cut for cc transactions and taxes, this can effectively cut ur profits in half on a room sale.

First avoid the ones who bath in perfume. Second keep a bottle of isopropyl alcohol and paper towels or a rag. The alcohol really does a good job breaking down the oils in the perfume. Clorox wipes can help too and it is not unusual to have them in your car. Finally stop and gas up the car on the way home and darned if you won’t get a lot of gasoline on your hands.

This shouldn't need to be said, but smelling like you just took a bath in rubbing alcohol probably isn't going to help you either. But if you're in a jam and it's summertime rub your skin down with scentless wipes and then drive around on a hot day without the AC. The heat and your sweat will get rid of the alcohol smell on your skin. If you don't use scentless wipes and smell like aloe or some other shit then that's a you issue.

I don't want to make this about Jascoi, but it's known for this type of behavior to be a clumsy and fucking annoying cover up for the accuser's cheating (or desire to cheat, get out of the relationship, etc). Truly miserable people tend to have an external locus of control, which means even if you help them out of their mental rut for a time eventually you'll be needing to constantly reaffirm them (or become the one they blame when they find the next thing to catastrophize about and you're tired of carrying their shit around).

“Credit cards suck cuz dancers get less of a cut”

Sorry to divert the topic - but that’s true for any business. You’re just a poor business person if you’re criticizing the use of cards. I’m sure Wal-Mart won’t divulge what they are paying for credit card transactions and they’ve probably negotiated the best possible rates but if Wal-Mart had your attitude they would be out of business in a few months.

** disclaimer - I learned long ago not to use credit card cards in clubs but those businesses who refuse to take cards or charge a fee sre shortsighted and do not understand the finances of modern society

You should pick up a hobby that would encourage showering after you are done with it. Ideally, it is fun in its own right. Perhaps you can find a pottery or metal working studio near a club. Perhaps there is an indoor sports facility near one and you can join a volley ball or hockey league. If none of that is feasible, find a 24 fitness or such.
