It's true and I'm tired of pretending it isn't

I noticed several items from this brand at work recently. They seem to be focused on addressing issues men encounter with age. The same company has a 'Hers' brand as well, and occasionally brand items 'Hims and Hers."

Had anyone tried any of this stuff? It kind of feels like an MLM that made the big time to me.

I don't think it's an MLM. It's just another company like Roman that sells mail order generic viagra, Cialis, and rogaine.

I think it's kind of exploitative, tbqh. Targeting a man with legitimate medical issues with snake oil that promises to address hims needs, but does nothing.

I'm really sorry, your avatar is giving me a boner and while that is perfectly OK and I don't want to kink shame anyone, its making me feel really weird getting a boner in a Trump thread.

Sincerely,

Applying my anti-wrinkle cream before bedtime — the smell is sweet with a base note of coconut, a rebuttal to the muskiness of Old Spice — I try to place the name. Hims. Why is this word familiar? It’s not something I hear in my day-to-day life, but it doesn’t feel like a whole-cloth invention, either. Then I realize: It’s baby talk. “Children make mistakes because they can only use the pronouns they have already learned,” a child-development handbook tells me. A 3-year-old who is trying to distinguish the subjective, objective, and possessive pronouns will sometimes utter a garbled combination. “Jackson brought hims truck today” is the example the handbook provides. It was as though adult masculinity had become so fraught that Hims had decided to dispense with it altogether, casting the Hims Man as a boyish creature earnestly invested in self-improvement. Every time I get an email from Hims, there’s a slogan at the bottom of the message: “Future you thanks you.”
