Love the smell of a launderette,clean washing on the radiators, clean washing when dried outside, puppies too and matches once they have been struck. Don't like the smell of fresh cut grass, tar, cigarette smoke on someone who has just put one out, stale alcohol and lastly the loo after hubby as vacated! Naomi

Iv'e just remembered this from a couple of years ago.Hubby had gone to the local shop to buy a newspaper and stood in the queue to be served.He hates bad unwashed smells and was none to happy when someone came and stood behind him who he said stunk to high heaven,so he moved up ...they followed...he moved up again...they moved up again...by now he felt he was going to vomit so he turned and said....do you mind moving because you bl--dy well stink.has anyone else the guts to say this to anyone?

nice to see some one liking smells when pregnant! Mine, at that time, is rubber! Rubber on anything, shoes, tools, flooring, even chewing elastic bands! Dettol, on everything. My bath of it burnt my husbands skin!

I love the smell of cordite and hate the revolting smell of dead flesh, blood and guts. Odd that - as there is a connection

Lynda Women and men have evolved for different purposes. Women excel and have superior senses for coping with homes, babies etc., whilst men are better equipped for doing those things that men (should) be doing. Women have better colour vision, men have better sight for distant and moving objects and are better able to judge distance, speed, trajectory. A woman's sense of touch and taste is better whilst men are better equipped in spatial abilities like map-reading and catching balls, running fast. Our genes were laid down about a quarter of a million years ago when emerging humans were hunter-gatherers (men hunters, women gatherers) and we are still stuck with them. Things do go awry and a small percentage of women have male-like abilities and vice versa. A good book, amongst many, is "Sense and Sensibilities" by a woman whose name I do not recall at the moment. I could look it up if anyone is interested. I guess is is fair to say that the sexes are complimentary to one another and neither is superior. Len

Don't get the opportunity these days but could never bear the taste and smell of tobacco when I kissed a girl. Reckon I would still decline an offer from a smoker.
