It Stinks in Here...

A weird compliment to give to someone is, "You smell _adjective_."

I don't go around sniffing people, nor do I go out of my way to flower up myself for people to sniff. I understand that smell is a very powerful sense. It has the ability to resurrect some of the most powerful of emotional reactions. But to do so in public with a bunch of strangers?

I think you have to draw a line somewhere. I mean, if I am walking down the hallway and I can smell you around the corner before I can actually see you then there's something seriously wrong...

It's one thing to light candles or incense at home to set your mind at ease or to welcome intimate company but it's kind of obnoxious to put that on yourself when you're out in public or even at work. I think it's weird how these advertisements on television turn smell into the new sex appeal. "Bathe yourself in this body spray and get tackled by girls!"

I'm curious to know how many women actually find a man who sprays his bare chest and armpits with chemicals from a pressurized aerosol canister sexy. I don't find obnoxiously flowery smelling women anymore attractive than a woman without the scents.

I love the smell of a home cooked meal, maybe they should make a new scent that mimics steak and potatoes. That would definitely get my attention. The question is who would be willing to wear it?
