I don't remember where I read this -- I've read it a number of times in different mags over the past 2-3 years -- but (supposedly) we mate with a man when the man 'smells right' to us (and vice versa). If we don't like the 'odor/essence' of a man, supposedly we won't sleep with him. But the 'rightness' of his odor is in almost direct correspondence to our desire for him. Wouldn't it be hysterically funny if our A boiled down to how our lover's BO?

BTW, it IS funny, but this is NOT a joke. I am NOT kidding. I have read this a number of times (in reputable magazines).

Also, I was very aware -- almost all of the time that I was in the A -- that I was very attracted to the sound of his voice (he had an accent) and to his body (he had spent 20 years in the military service and was built VERY well and was VERY masculine). I think we over-estimate ourselves. We are still part of the animal kingdom. I think that plays a part in our desire for a man.

Just some thoughts.

yep, i read that plenty of times too. I always tell my H it's 'pheremones'. My xOM didn't wear cologne & i'm a very smell oriented person. I like to smell things, i know, i'm weird. So i had to smell his deodorant so i could have a smell of him. Thank god he didn't have BO. Neither does my H. I don't know why but i like to smell their pits. =) xOM smoked & now whenever i pining 4 him really bad i have 1 of the kind he smoked. it's like i can taste him in it. Weird, huh?

That would be physically healthy, lacking serious genetic defects, emotional damage thats a different issue.

OH MY GOSH! I didnt' mean it that way! LOL....

I meant that it wouldn't surprise me if XOM had been with other ladies because he was known to be a liar during his low periods....LOL...sorry for the confusion!

I'll go one further. Not only have I had experiences with a smell, but that smell belonged to a certain astrological sign. For me it is Leos. Every Leo I have been with has been attractive, thin, built, passionate, great lover, and had that "smell". Animalistic, you know? It's like I can spot them a mile away. Or maybe I just have a keen sense of smell.

HHmmmmmmmmmm, that's strange. Because ALL of my husbands/lovers have been Aquarians.
And I'm a Capricorn -- and we're not supposed to get along. Well, LOLOLOL, come to think of it, guess we don't!! LOLOLOLOL Or I'd be married to at least ONE of them! LOLOLOLOLOLOL
