The movie was called Scent of a Woman and not Scent of a Man for a reason. I love the way most women smell. Without perfume. God I hate perfume.

Wow.

I mean, sure if she's taking off her jeans and its a sweaty day, I can see that. I've experienced that.

But to just be sitting idly next to some random woman and being able to smell her period?

Insane.

It's definitely possible. Although to be fair it's probably the tampon or whatever she uses. They come with a deordorizing agent that smells kind of weird. I can't imagine that smell coming from flesh or blood.. Seems to smell synthetic.

Because I can smell it from a distance. Like I said, I assume it's coming from that bc it has a synthetic smell to it. You're reading too much into this.

I just read the synopsis of that movie on wikipedia - what the hell does it have to do with the scent of a woman?

And they leave big wet disgusting stains on your mattress after you have had sex with them.

That's why you bang them on their side of the bed. Unless it's a real cold night so you have a nice warm wet spot to sleep in.

not really... i just think if a woman showers normally even when she has her period you aren't going to smell anything but flowers.

So, why can't i smell women who are menstruating when estrogen affords me a greater sense of smell than you to begin with?

he's blind, but he still can "see" a lot. in other words, he knows a lot of things just by using his mind and his other senses. using the fact that he knows a woman is there by her scent, because he can't see, is demonstrating his keen observation.

that's my interp

Idk.. baseline sense of smell?

Why don't women appreciate better speakers when they have better ears? Beats the hell out of me.

Geez, just when I though that TridenT complaining about 3 girls was the bottom of the barrel, this thread pops up.

No OP, for the most part I like the way women smell unless they're wearing a shitload of perfume. I love the way that my girlfriend smells, even after she's worked out.

Oh, and BS on the whole "sniffing out the period" nonsense.

I love the smell of women. I sometimes walk up to my wife and put my face up to her neck and inhale deeply just to smell her skin. She almost always smells good (right after a workout is probably the only time I won't do this).

Ya me also, it is a wonderful smell. I have pretty bad eyesight always have had. But I have always been able to smell things way before others.

Most women smell good, even the fat ones.
