i like smelling good...

i cant stand myself when i have a strange smell, i think thats the problem alot of guys they can stand there own stink

We have objectives. Some of us learned how to achieve the objectives with regularity by using money, manners, and good grooming.

Deep down inside, we are the same as the obnoxious, fat arse, yelling obscenities on the CB. But, some of us know what our objectives think they like, so we play the part.

Times were simpler when we lived in caves and a big stick provided romance and motivation.

An ugly duckling, missing link type character with a decent , likeable, boyish , down to earth personality and who has a toned body and is in shape for his age and is just a basic male with a caring soul and who likes basic rock music.


Or a cute, typical Johnny type of specimen who is neither here nor there with any type of career , smokes two at a time, is mellow to the point of a vegatative - like state, who's phone rings at 2am , has a rear view mirror hanger that resembles the psychodelic era of the sixties, but he has no idea where it came from, has a decent smile, sleeps all day, sleeps all nite, ....



I think you get what I'm gettin' at right?? Ok, I'm ready for the report. And the reasons why. Thanks !

Rules ? we dont need no stinkin rules................

geeeeez. nice to know i'm not alone in my opinion of some of the more hygenically challenged drivers and passengers out there.

my 3rd post (whoo hoo!) and hopefully i'm not being boring yet. i blame some of the drivers i've had to tow in for my smoking habit, trying to cover up their funk. had a few, smelled like they had crapped their pants. try to get into a tractor, i need vin and mileage on tow invoices. got out of the truck, and puked from the stench.

i always tried to be respectful on the radio, and to my customers, male and female. my hat's off to the women that are driven (ok, bad joke) and willing to fight for acceptance in a male dominated industry. there is no difference between the two, there is only a difference that some really want to be the best, and some are lazy and looking for a paycheck.

BE QUIET women you know you like it! dont act like you dont, it makes your ego's go through the roof, all that is BS and what did you expect coming into a mans profession??? a high five

How does this fit into the original thread posted by Betty Beaver about 'rules for the prospective Romeos'? I imagine the rules would hold for any prospective romeos, and not just the trucker romeos.

OK, two can play this. Our turn........

RULES FOR WOMEN
1. Bras are there for women who need them. Some don't. Sometimes we like them without. Just a guy thing.
2. Women lose teeth also. Go to the Waffle House and look at the waitresses.
3. If you have to ask if your butt looks too big....it is. If it's as wide as a Buick, it's a problem.
4. Because you "caught" a man and now have a ring on your finger, doesn't mean that you can give up now. It's still nice to see a little make-up, we like your hair long instead of very short and maintenance free. And whatever you do; don't do that yuppie independent woman thing and dye your hair jet black and get those stupid little granny glasses. We like your hair lighter, the way it was. And the granny glasses make you look like my grandmother.
5. Some women truckers can skip a shower or two. Sometimes the job calls for it. We're not all slobs. If you can't handle the job and atmosphere, and an occassional arm pit odor, go back to the secretarial pool.
6. The CB Radio is not my date pool. There are idiots on both sides of the sex fence. If not we wouldn't be watching Britney Spears and her problems. Turn the radio off.
7. If men with tan lines from the wedding ring, didn't get lucky with a WOMAN every now and then, they wouldn't do it. You have a responsibility to say NO, if he has a tan line, just like I have a responsibility to not hit on you if I have a tan line.
8. Sometimes pick-up lines work and open the conversation. That's why some guys use them. Again, you have a responsibility to say NO.
As far as you being someones daughter, sister or mother, what? You mean we should stay away? We have Mothers, sisters and daughters, just like you have sons, brothers and Fathers. If I treat you like my sister, I'll say "get out of my room" or "get off of the phone, somebody else needs to use it."
10. Last but not least. We're not the only ones who talk at work. Ever heard of the phrase "girl talk". We didn't coin that phrase.

Here Ladies this was from another post but it will fit well here too....Well, just to set the record straight, I shower every day, I make a point of it, I will usually put up at a small truck stop, I never stay at the big ones, or I just put up at a rest or service area, I usually start to roll around midinght or somewhere there after, then I will stop at Ta, or pilot, around 4 or 5 am fuel, and shower, at that time all the nuts are leaving, I get a good spot, shower get coffee, and finish up my day, the shower thing is imporatant to me, it makes me feel good, I use a nice exfoliating face scrub, neturalizer and moisturizer with a 8 spf, then I use an eye creme, all from the arbonne line. for men. nice stuff, when I am done I feel like a million bucks. I dress neat but functional I need function I am a flat bed driver, so knives and tools are a must. Big logging boots with steel toe are the norm for me, but when on a long run and behind the wheel for a stint Yoou might find me with a nice pair of lined crocks on my feet, (comfy) black only! Ok so do I sound like I am gay, well nope I am not. just like to look, smell, and feel GOOD!,,, I am a professional and like to look and act like one, I have been at this all my life, it's all I know. I feel like the demize of this industrie has a lot to do with people who took it on as a last resort job and dont give a crap, Well I am not on of thoes, I do give a crap and I play the part, I love trucking and all that goes with it, it is a good and lucrative carreer if You know how to make it that way! Ha ha.. I love it, I am good at it, and I take pride in it,, I don't smell. I dont swear... in public :biggrin_255,, Ok so I am sorry to carry on, but I hate it when people say we are smelly dirty sex pigs, I am not, and from what I have found neither are most other drivers,
Happy New Year

Ha-ha, no one thinks your gay. I guess the eye creme thing is a bit much for me, but I like a shower too. A little axe shower gel or Dr. Bonners peppermint soap and a good shampoo goes along way. I have to use a good conditioner a couple of times a week, as my hair is long and I have a pony tail. Usually American Crew stuff works fine for me. I like to be neatly trimmed and clean. You're right. It makes you feel better, and does good for morale and attitude on the road. I've never yanked a skateboard, but you guys can get some physical labor in on a load. Gotta stay clean.
