A ? For the ladies [View all]

Do any of you ladies find a man wearing Vicks vapor rub irresistible. I’m 59 widower not really looking yet today at the store the deli lady.

She was very talkative then at bakery i got free cookie from the nice lady. I’m wondering if it’s the Vicks vapor rub do women find it irresistible.

I didn’t mention the cheese sample or free cookie to Dunc the golden retriever it was after our exercise walk at park.
Although i wondered if he knew after i climbed into the Corolla he was giving me side eye.
As in really father besides smelling of Vicks vapor rub you had a slice of muenster sample and an oatmeal cookie.
