Women Smell Better Than Men

Posted April 09, 2009 8:53 AM

From Scientific American:

A woman friend of mine recently commented about her guy: "He's such a boy. His towels are stinky. And he doesn't seem to notice!" Well, maybe he can't smell the stinkyness. According to recent research from the Monell Chemical Senses Center, women have much sharper noses.

Hey, no fair! You're a shark, you can smell a drop of blood in the ocean from a mile away!

We are such over-preened wusses... Napoleon had the right idea when he texted Josephine 'Don't wash, I'm comin' home girl'
That may be a tad anachronistic but you get the drift.
We are, after all animals...we should get over it, smell is a hugely erotic force, we wash off our natural smell and replace it with gunk from the musk glads of deer and civet cats... bonkers or what?

I read the most potent smell to a man is a mixture of a womans sweat, menstrual blood and urine. We are just too prissy to admit it...
Own up we've all smelled our lover's clothing..... (not to mention that secretary's raincoat hanging up in the office... I'm joking... honest it was her sweater )

Kris made me write all this....

Del

Hey, you're a cat! Don't you going around smelling your wife's musk, and rubbing her with your own as well?

Hey there Mr.Cat..

Basically I agree with you!

except for the menstrual blood..

Actually, those smells are more powerful than Viagra, and women think they need to wash em all away... No wonder their men look elsewhere..

Wow, how did we start talking about this???

Where I onceworked there was a French woman, very nice, but should have been jailed for 'fragrance abuse' waaay too much perfume, it made you choke and your eyes water.

Not to mention those aerosols that they sell to put in your home, yeah great idea, lets fill the air with microscopic particles of irritant , oooohh and all that antibacterial crap...in UK schools they've banned wooden (naturally antibacterial) chopping boards .

Now look I've started off on one...where's my tea & toast.

Wasn't there a movie a tad back titled " The Scent of a Woman"? I must agree with Del, we have become wusses. My wife is also a blacksmith, and after a day in the shop, all covered in sweat I get close to her and ,well, you get the picture. Don't let those over perfumed prisses out there get close to me, no turn ons there. What a late night conversation. Fortunately for me, my spouse enjoys my scent also. We lay down to sleep and she has to have her nose buried in my arm pit, it puts her at ease. I guess that is a good thing, the very basics of attraction, smell. Hey, what about taste??

OMG R We sure we want to go down this path... we may have to cultivate the baser natures of all the brillant minds on here, and then discover that no matter how smart we all are, in our given fields, that really, we are all humans, and we have smells.... LOL
