I liked this book.

Ridley Scott optioned the rights to it. CRAP.

I don't make a habit of this, but I will say that when I can't HELP but smell women as they walk by, I immediately form certain conclusions about their vanity and potentially, their bathing habits. There is no goddamn need to drown yourself in perfume such that I have to smell you upon entering an elevator you've just gotten out of.

I see nothing wrong with this considering that he could just punch them in the face when they walk by.
Smelling up some chick is not anywhere near as bad as punching one in the face.

NOT CRAPPY

you might enjoy Radhika Jha's Smell. It's not a really well-written book, but it was enjoyable.


as far as the question at hand, smell is sexy. Tangentially, I don't think a relationship will last if ou don't like the way your partner smells, seguro. i think as long as it's not obvious that you're huffing strangers, you might be able to get away with not seeming creepy.

even though it is a little.



okay!

I thought Michael Bay was doing Perfume...w/ Ben Affleck, right?

I don't do this in a creepy way. Sometimes when I see a woman I simply wonder what she smells like, so once she's walked past I walk into her wake and just carry on, well, breathing. Nothing deep or pant-y, BTW.

IMDB entry

Ridley Scott purchased the rights to it from what I remember, but seems to have handed the job of directing it over to Tom Twyker (of Run Lola Run fame). This could still be CRAP.

This is the same argument a friend has used to try and get me to read The Da Vinci Code.
If I read this book I'll HAVE to read The Da Vinci Code.















Finally! A justifiable reason!

I can't say that i go out of my way to do this but when presented i don't have an aversion to it. Doused in perfume makes me nauseous. But a beautiful girly just out of the shower, reeking of the lotion and clean clothes is a wonderful thing.

It can be crap though.
Bears aren't the only ones who can catch the scent of the menstruation.
This happens at work sometimes, i use to think i was crazy until it was confirmed by another coworker(who was Female.)She seemed to be under the impression that the woman was unclean.
I agreed, So we sent her to the edge of town with the other Bathsheeebas until she was over her monthly Friend. The Torrah demands it. praise Yawheh!

I do the inverse: hold my breath when someone gross walks by.

Started that in grade school when the "pee-girl" would go by. Can't seem to shake it.
