LJ Idol - Week 14 - Love Stinks

[monkeysugarmama]

 Love stinks!
No…really! It absolutely stinks to high heaven, especially if you are part of the animal kingdom.

My husband is an honest man. I'm sure if you asked him why he fell for me he'd tell you about my expressive eyes, my generous laugh and this thing I do with my tongue. Being a biologist though, he'd then mention to you the way that I

I was considering writing mine this week about how much I love the smell of my boy's dirty shirts and how they keep me sane during the times we're apart, but I didn't have enough to say without sounding creepy. I applaud you for doing a fantastic job with the idea :)

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who finds *some* natural man smells to be comforting!

I was afraid people were going to be like "Eeeew!"

I was sexually attracted to my boyfriend only after I snuck into his bedroom and sniffed all the pillows and sheets on his bed.

Nice!

It's amazing how smell sticks with you too. Like, the guy I lived with for four years smoked Marlboro Lights and when we went out drank Budweiser. I have't spoke to him in five years but if I am at a bar and I smell that combination on a guy I feel my heart start to race before I even see where it's coming from!

I have a clear memory of how both my former girlfriends smell. With the first one, she used to like to sneak up in front of me just outside of the class we took together and have me say her name. People were always surprised I could tell she was there, but even with perfume on, her smell was unmistakable. I think it's interesting how strong that link really is.

Now that is a cool game! I think I could pick out the smell of people I love in a line up.

It also goes for people you dislike though! My first boss after college was a total jerk who practically gave me an anxiety attack every time I saw him. He wore Aqua Di Gio cologne and to this day if I smell it on someone I feel my blood pressure rising.

Someone sitting near me in the theater when I saw Chronicles of Narnia was wearing the stuff and it pretty much ruined the movie for me because I couldn't relax, lol!

Smile. I liked this a lot! It's so true!
