Well you are a poohead.


but he's right. before this thread, you seemed like an OK dude to me. This habit of yours seems like a symptom of a cascade of issues. Issues that label you as an asshat. Get over yoiurself for a few seconds and maybe you'll learn to enjoy life.

i've never done it prior to smelling someone who is nasty, but one bad whiff and i shut down the sense of smell.

At least you know how we'll answer Zysoclaplem and add that option to your polls, and that's why we love you.

I tend to always breath in when walking by a pretty girl. They almost always smell good. I have yet to encounter a bad-smelling one, but many neutrals.

That said, I checked "sort of" in the poll because I work a lot in the city, and therefore walk by a lot of unpleasant smelling individuals. You can generally tell if somebody is going to reek, and therefore hold your breath or breathe through your mouth until they've passed. It isn't because of ugliness - it's because of obvious disregard and contempt for hygeine.

That said, odds are if you're a walking grease/stank bomb then you're going to be ugly too.

Wow there must be a lot of ugly people in this thread.
I don't do it because I think more of myself or less of anyone else.
I just do it because I don't want to breathe in their smell.

By ugly I meant generally unpleasant looking.
The guy earlier was old, short, balding, dirty, stained armpits, belly hanging out. I consider that very ugly so I held my breath.
I very much doubt he smelled like cookies and the taste of his smell would probably horrid.

That is true. Women always seem to smell flowery. I can still smell their perfume a minute or so behind them. But not all do. All the ladies in the office tend to wear heavy amounts of perfume though. I have a very very strong sense of smell. I can smell everything.

If they look like they may have some BO going on yes. But ugliness has nothing to do with it.

Why? I make an guess based on their appearance about their hygiene. I'm usually good at it. I don't want to smell them.

When I say ugliness I don't mean if I am attracted to them. Just their general appearance.

that overpowering old lady toilet water perfume gags me.
