Why it worked

The video likely worked because it presented a shocking and bizarre trend that is inherently attention-grabbing and shareable, tapping into a sense of disbelief and curiosity.

Summary

A news report discusses the bizarre trend of "pheromone-maxxing" among young men, where they skip showering and deodorant, wear dirty clothes, and even drink their own urine before dates, believing it will make them more attractive. The report, citing Vice, states there is no evidence this works and likely has the opposite effect.

NEWS: YOUNG MEN ARE "PHEREMONE- MAXXING" — SKIPPING SHOWERS AND DEODORANT, WEARING DIRTY CLOTHES AND DRINKING URINE TO RELEASE THE TOXINS BEFORE DATES HEADS UP. YOUNG MEN ARE NOW SKIPPING SHOWERS BEFORE GONG ON DATES WITH WOMEN. IT'S CALLED PHEREMONE MAXXING, AND IT'S A TREND IN THE MANOSPHERE. BUT NOT ONLY A SHOWER, THEY'RE ALSO SKIPPING DEODORANT. SOME PEOPLE ARE EVEN WEARING UNWASHED SHIRTS OR EVEN DRINKING THEIR OWN URINE IN AN EFFORT TO, QUOTE, SWEAT OUT THE TOXINS. THAT'S ACCORDING TO NEW REPORTING FROM VICE, AS PHAROMAXING IS BECOMING AN INCREASING TREND FOR YOUNG MEN IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THE GOAL IS THEY BELIEVE THAT BY DRINKING THEIR OWN URINE TO RELEASE THEIR TOXINS, BY NOT SHOWERING, BY NOT WEARING DEODORANT, BY WEARING DIRTY CLOTHING ON THESE DATES WITH YOUNG WOMEN, THAT THEY WILL HAVE MORE PHEROMONES BE MORE ATTRACTIVE. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THIS WORKS, AND IN FACT, I GUARANTEE YOU IT'LL REPEL FOLKS DATES WITH THESE MEN. WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. SO IF YOU GONG ON DATES, JUST BE AWARE, SPREAD THE WORD, FOLLOW ALONG FOR MORE.
