monicaelise Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 One of the many reasons I don't like OLD is you can't smell the person you're looking at. This seems like such a goofy little consideration, but it's so basic and so primitive that even the nicest, most visually appealing man, will not work for me if he smells wrong. I'm not talking about poor hygiene or bad cologne. I'm referring to whatever it is that creates that magical elixir that makes you swoon, regardless of how clean/dirty/sweaty/dry the person is. I think this is far more common in females, but I'm curious how many of us, both male and female, find this to be a make-it-or-break-it issue. I know of a couple very famous studies involving stinky t-shirts have been done on this topic, but I want to know how much this matters to the LS community. 1
MrCastle Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 I've written about smell many a time. I prefer the natural smell of a woman. Not fruity shampoo or perfume. Even sweat, or the muskiness of a vagina is a major turn on for me. I love the smell of women.
ThaWholigan Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 There are a few people here who have recounted that they liked the smell of people they were attracted to, so obviously scent is important. It reminds me of when PUA first started, and all of the budding pick-up artists were walking around wearing "pheromone" spray - which I personally thought was completely retarded because doesn't that alter your natural pheromone so as to repel women who would otherwise be attracted to you based on your scent amongst other things. Having said that, it seems to be far more common in women, I think they have a slightly more refined sense of smell than we do. I'm probably more visual than I am regarding smell. But I do like smell too - but it's usually in girls I am uncontrollably attracted to rather than any woman.
Author monicaelise Posted December 20, 2012 Author Posted December 20, 2012 What about the inverse? Beautiful, washed clean woman...but something about her smell just isn't right. I find this happens with men quite a bit, especially as I get older (perhaps I'm regressing to a more primitive state as all my other senses start to fail lol!). There are times when I see what is really a beautiful, clean man but when he gets close enough to smell I just know I won't want him to touch me. It really isn't dirt or poor hygiene, as there have been countless times when exes have come in dirty, sweaty and just downright foul from either being in the gym or out in the field and I had no problem with it at all. How do you get past this? Can you? Do men find certain women just naturally repugnant, because of their smell, regardless of how beautiful, clean she otherwise would be? How does this work with your OLD adventures?

There are probably quite a few guys who feel that way too (like something is just off, but they may not realize it's the smell). Both of the women I've slept with from OLD, I didn't really care about their smell outside of normal scent (clean etc). They smelled nice, but that wasn't really something I noticed.
edgygirl Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 I'll be damned. I fainted for the first time in my life earlier this year and hit my head. As our brain/neurons are so fragile the only result of this was that in the beginning I lost my sense of smell. And consequently, taste. It's coming back slowly and I can identify a few now, but I still get most smells wrongly. I'm constantly afraid now that this will guide me to end up with someone who is not compatible with me I wonder how much can you unconsciously really tell if someone is right for you specifically by smell. I done a lot of research but nothing too conclusive. I read that women have the power to tell unconsciously when someone is genetically wrong for her only by smell - as in the genes are too similar which apparently is not a good thing. Hope not to miss these clues
