BookerT Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I'm just kidding around with the title, but kinda serious at the same time. I've been reading how pheromones have an impact on human attraction, and people with differences in genes and thus immune systems will be more attracted to each other versus people with similar immune systems. Well. Thinking back I can think of two girls I've known that seemed to smell real bad whenever I got close to them. I'm not saying I'm a stud or smell good either! But the thing is they were attractive, and I am sure they were wearing perfume, but there was this smell that was repelling me. Has anyone else ever experienced this?
Tayla Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 you are correct on some areas. SOme folks are more hyper-sensitive to human aroma (body fragrance). Its actually a good sense to have. Some hear clearer or have higher visionary skills. So why wouldnt the aroma of a human be any different? Yes twice I had that experience, One was with a male who actually was a firm Vegetarian. His diet really did leave an odor that I wondered about. Another was a guy that naturally smelt of garlic....Even his doctor sensed it and sent him for testing. Turned out to be a medical disorder. (No I am not trying to make a joke of this or be illminded). The Guy ended up being on medication to aide in this dilema. So human aromas can be offensive to the senses....
Soul Bear Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I remember being attracted to my teacher in primary school (she was really hot), and her perfume. One of my classmates **** himself, in class and let it out of his trouser leg on to the classroom floor. I lost the attraction for my teacher on that day... True Story by the way.

D-Lish Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Thinking back I can think of two girls I've known that seemed to smell real bad whenever I got close to them. That's called bad hygiene. It's a good instinct to walk away. Imagine the outcome if you got her pants off? I'm not saying I'm a stud or smell good either! Hmm, well you have control over how you smell- so my advice is to wear deodorant at a minimum. But the thing is they were attractive, and I am sure they were wearing perfume, but there was this smell that was repelling me. That's called a hockey shower. Want me to explain further? SOme folks are more hyper-sensitive to human aroma (body fragrance). Its actually a good sense to have. Some hear clearer or have higher visionary skills. So why wouldnt the aroma of a human be any different? It's called Olfactory- that hyper-smell thing. I have it, I smell everything. I mean everything. I detect smells a mile away. I remember being attracted to my teacher in primary school (she was really hot), and her perfume. One of my classmates **** himself, in class and let it out of his trouser leg on to the classroom floor. I lost the attraction for my teacher on that day... I'm going to leave that answer to Freud.
LucreziaBorgia Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I have a particularly keen sense of smell, and I can smell people when they are close to me. I'm not talking their laundry detergent, or their deodorant or perfume/cologne, but their actual smell. Some people smell 'good' to me, and others don't (not that they stink or have bad hygiene - just that I don't find their smell appealing). In terms of men, the ones who have smelled the best to me were the ones I had the best sex with, by a long shot and it had nothing to do with their looks. I don't measure attraction in a man until I am close enough in his space to catch his scent. Even the most physically attractive of men (say... Ryan Reynolds for example) are not going to appeal to me if I don't like their natural smell. Cologne doesn't change the equation either. It enhances, but not always for the better. Some people have the receptor for this ability and others don't. I often wonder if better matches would be made in relationships if everyone had this ability. I can't help to think how different things might be in terms of attraction in general.
scatterd Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Yes I have its a weird smell I have smelt a few men that have had that same smell.They say its so you dont mate with the wrong person.They tested it on twins they blind folded them they both hated the same smell and liked the same ones.I watched it on TV it was interesting.
littlewhiterose Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Come to think of it I did have one experience where I was waiting for my car at the car wash and this guy walked past me to pay. I dunno what it was but his pheromones were soooo strong in a negative way, I can't even explain it. I've never felt such a strong sense of "REPEL!!" before ever. Either he felt the same way or he noticed my involuntary reaction, but he kind of darted his eyes away. It was AWKWARD! And the thing is, he wasn't even ugly, nor did he have a body odor problem. Or maybe my 3rd eye was trying to tell me something.
Author BookerT Posted October 20, 2009 Author Posted October 20, 2009 That's called bad hygiene. It's a good instinct to walk away. Imagine the outcome if you got her pants off? . No, no, I don't mean a normal bad smell. I asked other people and they couldn't sense those girls smelt bad. It was just me so I was wondering if it was because our immune systems were too similar and thus I naturally found them smelling bad.
