No. Totally gay.

Actually, what are straight guys attracted to, in a very general sense?

In a very general sense: if they're hot, and they don't smell like a dumpster, they are a viable receptacle for my semen; if they're not that hot, the scent of vodka (on my breath) will generally get them into my pants; if they're repulsive, then I find the earthy smell of a brown paper bag passably acceptable.

Women.

D'uh.

[pathwriter]

Yes, you and Firefeng are terrifically clever. It's clear why the both of you do so well with females, too.

[Aliadim]

I'll give an honest answer: I find certain scents more attractive, but I'm not even sure how to describe those scents to you. Not that I couldn't at the time, but just that scents don't influence me when it comes to women. I've known hot, punk women that got away with smelling bad.

[firefeng]

My cleverness begets honesty; I don't find any smell "attractive", I find women attractive, at least until they are so vilely odoriferous my corneas melt and my tongue shoves itself down the back of my own throat to escape the presence of their malodorous aura. Any unpleasant smell detracts from a woman's attractiveness, but smelling nice won't make me more attracted to the Margaret Thatchers of the world.

Fire's got the idea. In terms of attractiveness, I'm much more a visual guy. Like I mentioned earlier, I was Pavlov'ed into liking that Bath and Bodyworks Vanilla something-or-other lotion, mainly because she would put that on every morning before going to class and she had classes before me. And, of course, when I was sleeping over at her place I was getting some. I could literally describe the entire scene to you, but at the sake of sounding nostalgic, I'll let it lie.

I'm not suggesting that Mary Worth is going to turn into Megan Fox (or whoever you think is attractive) by wearing perfume, but I refuse to believe that you guys are totally unaffected by smell. Humans may not have a dog's olfactory competence, but we do react strongly to scents. I'm sure you could name a dozen sorts of perfume that you do not favor and that, if smelled, would make you think twice about a given woman. You might not throw her out in the cold for it, but you're not unconscious of its noxious nature.

It's not that scents don't effect me. I actually assure you that they do. What I'm saying is that, at the times it did, it was on such a lower degree compared to everything else I was paying attention to that I simply... Don't recall the smell.

As for being offended by any womanly perfume, I've not personally been revolted by any.

There's also a huge difference between a girl being an "acceptable receptacle for your semen" and a girl you're crazy for and think about all day long because you can't get her boobs/eyes/laugh/body/scent out of your mind. I don't think path is necessarily asking you what a girl has to smell like for you to put it IN her, I think he's trying to ask you what smell makes you smile about the memory of it for years afterwards.

Patrick was asking for us to circle jerk about our individual Pavlovian responses? Queerly uncharacteristic for him...besides, he'll probably be along in a jiffy to point out how "smiling about the memory of it for years" is just some sort of vaginal hogwash that your feeble, emotive, irrational female mind has spawned, which flies in the immortal face of the unflinching steel of man-reason.

And my suggestion that our olfactory sense acts in an exclusionary manner so far as attractiveness is concerned denies your conclusion how, exactly? I think a great many things smell nice, but whether I find fragrances sensually attractive or not is primarily based on previous relationships, and secondarily, as an accidental ascription to an already-attractive woman's halo effect upon first contact with her.

I guess for the sake of human physiology I should admit that I find the smell of particular pheromones irresistible.

I luuuuuuuuuurv the smell of "Desperation".

Slightly off-topic, but why do new, clean babies smell so damned nice? Everyone likes that smell.

[Kay]

I hate kids. Err, well I would rather not be around them anyways.

[Aleera]

I can't tell you which ones I like, but I can tell you one I hate. I think it's called White Owl. I had someone literally drown themselves in it and get in my car. I couldn't get the smell out of my car for a month and off my clothes. It made me sick just to drive to work. If it was a nice perfume, I wouldn't have minded, but it smelled like old woman to me, and made me want to vomit. lol

There have been a few that I really liked, most of them had an easy, relaxing smell to them. Anything fruit scented (mostly body washes), as long as it's not overpowering, is usually nice, too.

A genetic throwback to the days when creatures would consume their own offspring in harsh times. Smells good, tastes good.
