What did you expect? A lot of us got started here in our early-mid twenties when 4chan first appeared. We got comfortable with the culture and the format. It's a decade later, is it any wonder we're still here?

You don't stop visiting your favorite forum just because you graduated college or popped out a kid. 4chan offers enough that we can continue finding new things within it as we age, and even from the start our demographic was all over the map.
This site is the epitome of "high tech, low life" and will likely be a fascinating Internet hotpoint for years to come.

wonderwood reminded me of 2man, just minus the smoke. i love 2man and already have 100ml so i think ill give wonderwood a miss.

You can find dedicated perfume shops in shopping centres and such, other places (Such as boots) that deal in body products commonly have sections for perfume, though it will be a limited variety, and mainly bigger releases.

The type you go for should depend mainly on how and when you plan on wearing it, and slightly if you have skin conditions on the normal spray areas that alcohol can worsen.
