I was thinking about "going there", but it seems that I'm the one to always pervs-up threads around here so I figured I'd pass.

Fresh, clean, "Man-smell" is quite euphoric. There is nothing like it.

Cologne and perfume are both vile.

I wear cologne, but nothing I would consider nasty and not bucketsful like some people I know.

Quote:

And the scent women have ? Makes me twitchy, claustrophobic, and irritable.

No offense to women, but I can't handle any olfactory stuff related to females. I tolerate it, because I have a lot of good women friends whom I much love and adore.

Nazzty.

Her sense of smell had been completely eradicated by her three pack a day Virginia Slims habit. On top of that, she looked like one of the trees from the Wizard of Oz. Makes me shudder just thinking about it.

That's the smell that makes me want to puke- stale cigarette stench. THE WORST!!!!

Anyway, thanks for posting this, Joe. Nice to see.

I wonder when someone's going to produce some evidence in relation to lesbians specifically? Of course, there might be some already and I just haven't seen it.

Well, there's the ring finger theory.. if your ring finger is longer than your index finger, you're 'it'

Very scientific!

My mum has that long finger, but I guess she just 'doesn't know' yet

To put the cherry on the cake, I am also allergic to a lot of of things in perfume. The worst offenders I run across are casting directors, who generally can be smelled when they are in a car next to you on the freeway. Unfortunately, I have had offices next to them frequently. Once, this poor, haggard crank of a woman I worked by wore so much Opium or Poison, that I literally could smell her when she walked into the building. It got so bad that eventually within five minutes of her arrival every morning I had a headache and my eyes were watering. I asked her to please tone it down and she never spoke to me again. Her assistant said she didn't even smell it. Her sense of smell had been completely eradicated by her three pack a day Virginia Slims habit. On top of that, she looked like one of the trees from the Wizard of Oz. Makes me shudder just thinking about it.

*shudder* That? Is just gross....but good for you for asking her to tone down the perfume...too bad it didn't work.

People are always making fun of this guy here who wears too much cologne...the worst though is this sort-friend of mine...

She's a big ole' lesbian - and is crushing on me - but is totally fu**ed up and I will not date her. ever. Anyway - she wears "gay man" and WAY too much of it...it grosses me out -I refuse to ride inher car anymore because it REEKS.

She's starting to get suspicious now because I never get into the car with her lol...but yeah - within minutes my head is just pounding from that nasty smell...

lol...I think that just applies to lesbians...

Hmm....uh oh...my ring fingers are longer than my pointer fingers...does this mean I'm totally gay?

I used to wear Obsession For Men... not every day, but occasionally. And a tasteful amount. I don't like when people reek of cologne or perfume, nor do I want to be one of those people.

I think the trick is finding a cologne/perfume that works well with your natural scent.

Add me to the list of guys who prefer natural smelling men though. That musky smell drives me wild. Not talking about B.O., of course... just something... manly. *growls*

To this day, I can remember vividly my first boyfriend's scent. He proved to be an asshole, but at least he smelled good and was a fantastic kisser.

See, most of the people I know like that.

My Mom wears Estee Lauder's Knowing and people are always saying "You smell so good! What is it? Where do I get it?" I wear perfume, too--Estee Lauder's Intuition, but I don't wear as much as my Mom does. But I still get comments from people like she does.

I like it if someone doesn't bathe in it. There are some women I've had crushes on who wore specific perfumes, and whenever those particular scents are around me I just start swooning and getting all nostalgic.

Frequently the ones who smell great are jerks. Go figure. I think they are just genetically wired to mate and bolt.

Yes, you are! No denying it.

Mine of course are just as long as my index fingers, I really ám bi
