When I walk by someone, man or women, who I find to be "ugly", I hold my breath.
For two reasons.

1. Smell. I don't want to smell them.
2. So I don't breath in any air that has recently touched them.

I think in my mind I couple unattractiveness with uncleanliness.
This could be a part of my OCD, I'm not sure.

Anyone else do this, or something similar. I hate feeling crazy.

I hold my breath around crazy people to avoid breathing in the crazy dust that infects your brain.

Only if people stink, regardless of beauty or lackthereof...once or twice I've sat down on the Metro next to someone who really reeked...and then got up to stand somewhere else.

That's why you carry some emergency donuts and throw at them to divert them away from your walking path.

It will lower your chances of getting an airborne disease from them.

haha, I don't do this but it's totally an OCD thing and I can definitely relate to you on that.

No. But I do get crossed eye, get bad gas, and do the tango.

I don't think I've ever done that while walking by someone... maybe once or twice in my LIFE I've had to do it in an elevator or something...

Yeah get that checked out.

i don't see anything wrong with this. if you breathed their air, what if you caught something from them? you can't cure ugly. keep doin' what you're doin' :thumbsup:
