    Unhappy The (sadly) unpleasant "scent of a woman"

    .


    I debated which forum to post this in, but I finally decided that it's general enough to put in Open Discussion, as although it's about an olfactory response, it's not really about pheromones (as far as I know).


    I know there are times we all wonder just what may have gone wrong when it comes to interacting with other people. For some reason or another someone just doesn't seem to like us or seems uncomfortable in our presence.

    So I thought I'd share something with everyone here that I've never shared before. It comes from a personal experience a good 20 plus years ago. Now I could tell a nice long story but I'm lazy, and I'm not a fan of tl;dr "wall of text" postings so I'll try to be brief and to the point.

    Note that I'm telling this from my (a man's) side of things, but I'm posting it out where our female forum readers can see it as well, as it could give them a clue as to why they too may have an unexplainable problem while trying to establish a relationship with someone.

    I had a friendship going with a young lady. She was nice, good looking in my eyes and all, and we got along. But for some reason after I had been talking or just hanging with her for a while I would get uncomfortable and I couldn't figure out exactly why. After visiting with her (alone) at her apartment a few times, it started to dawn on me.

    She stank. And for me it was a rather unpleasant, dare I say, reek. It also slowly dawned on me that she had the hots for me. Good old fashioned lustful desires. Now I know from reading these forums that guys especially like to dwell on the "panty soaker" reaction sometimes. Well, here's a downside that girls should be aware of too.

    When she got those "hots" for me, that meant she "got wet." And apparently her body chemistry was such that the odor from that wetness became apparent. It's possible she never noticed, as it was, in effect, her normal "scent." But to me, it was overwhelming and very unpleasant. I want to note here that I have been with other women in similar or even very intimate situations where they too were "wet," but it didn't bother me at all (or it was even stimulating, in a good way), so it's not a universal thing. It just seems that with certain people, for reasons I don't really know, one person's "scent" can either attract, or (in this case, strongly) repel, and we may not be consciously aware of it. I also don't know what could be done about it. Is it something changeable with diet? Is it related to an illness? Dunno.

    So here is some food for thought and maybe discussion. If you've ever been in a situation where things just didn't seem right, maybe you take a breath and see if there is a clue there. It may just be one of Nature's ways of keeping some people from producing offspring. Sadly in this case, for me, it was so uncomfortable I had to distance myself from the person and I was just a bit too embarrassed to say exactly why (we lived far enough apart and had different enough work schedules that I could use the "travel time" type of excuses).

    So there you are. One of my dark secret stories. Maybe it will help shed some light on someone else's experiences. Got your own dark secret story? Try starting a thread about it.

    It's apathy
