Yes, I know I have
No, I don't think I have
I don't know
You know how everyone has their own smell?
It's particularly apparent when or after you've kissed someone.
The question is, can you smell it in someone of your own gender? I remember smelling lots of guys, but I don't remember smelling any girls before. (I've kissed a lot of them, too, and I'm probably as attracted to them as I am to guys.)
I smell it on other guys, not so much on girls.
You're heterosexual, and a girl. Why would you respond to the scent of females in any way? I notice if women are wearing nice perfumes though, but I never ever notice their physiological scent... =/The question is, can you smell it in someone of your own gender?

try sucking their pussies and seeing what you smell
lol.
Get outta here, you're no dyke!!!
Are you? That would be funny.
hehe im cracking up.
i would feel better if joy was a dyke
LOL
I've never been close enough to a female to notice her "smell" and I never want to. I love a guys natural scent given that they're clean.
I notice things like what perfume someone's wearing - sometimes hair products if they've just applied them. When I first walk into someone's house, I notice that it smells different. People's cars and clothes always have a different smell.
As for more than that... I'm not sure. I always assumed someone's smell is an accumulation of all the products they use.
I agree with jessica. I love freshly showered guys. lol
Now you're making me nervous. What if I smell terrible and I don't even know it?!?
IEE
Just shower daily and you'll be fine ;p it's amazing how many grown people don't do such a simple thing as shower. There are some funky people out there. But oh gosh a freshly showered boy with no cologne...that's the best.
Are you two still in high school?
LIE-Ni, i think, but maybe ILI
Junior high
Why? What gave it away? Do older women prefer men who never shower? Must be an acquired taste.Are you two still in high school?
(Don't mess with jessica. She'll shoot you.)
IEE
Yes, I can smell the differences between people's personal smells, of both genders. It's not that pronounced to me, though, and I have to be fairly close to them and usually in the state of mind to notice. However, my sister's senses in that department are more developed than mine; she can sense the differences much more strongly than I. For example, she can tell which clothing belongs to which of her family/close friends just by smelling them.
Also, by personal smell I don't mean when they necessarily have strong BO (though that, in some cases, can make it easier to notice). I mean that sort of smell that people often have when they're clean but not too clean, and not drenched in artificial scent. Although, I think that often people's choices in artificial scent can enhance and blend well with their own, kind of like how certain spices can enhance certain foods. But, anyway, that's another topic.
Oh, to find you in dreams - mixing prior, analog, and never-beens... facts slip and turn and change with little lucidity. except the strong, permeating reality of emotion.
Pheromones.
Supposedly they're there to help you pick partners who you're biologically compatible with for creating offspring or something along those lines (which is why I didn't know if people could smell others of the same sex). Perfume/cologne smells different on different people because of this.
being attracted to a smell, or not attracted to it, is different than not smelling it entirely. there is no connection. only, possibly, the illusion of a connection through people taking note of a smell they're attracted to. but altogether still a stupid question
Well, many animals, like dogs, can differentiate between individuals' smells. So I figure that it might be something like that with some people, just having a more sensitive nose. But, yeah, pheromones probably play a part, too, in terms of picking up on or noticing smells.

I don't smell most people of any gender, they have to be unusually sweaty (or something) that I can smell them. If I discount the reek of perfumes.
...the human race will disappear. Other races will appear and disappear in turn. The sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. Which will also disappear. Everything will disappear. And what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, feelings? Pure 'Victorian fictions'.

Girls smell like laundry detergent.
To be clear, I was not talking about sweat or whatever. Minde had the right idea. And I most certainly do not have to be attracted to a guy to notice his smell. Sometimes when I'm inspecting houses I open closets to check for water stains and test the doors, and I'll notice that it smells like a man. It's clean laundry. It's just that I notice the smell of certain men. Sometimes it's so strong that it's a nuisance, especially when it's someone I'm not attracted to. I don't smell all men though, and I don't recall ever having smelled a woman, even if I've made out with her or am attracted to her.
Why are many of the Si PoLRs I know online so obsessed with this crap.
There's a reasonably practical explanation in my case (a situation that brought it up), though I'd rather not share it here.
haha. this topic deserves lots of jokes.
asd
I know what you're talking about but I've never noticed it with a women. Maybe I just haven't been paying attention.

You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.
Indeed. I know with some guys it really jumps out at me though.
wikipedia on the subject, fwiw:
Other studies have suggested that people might be using odor cues associated with the immune system to select mates who are not closely related to themselves. Using a brain imaging technique, Swedish researchers have shown that homosexual and heterosexual males' brains respond differently to two odors that may be involved in sexual arousal, and that the homosexual men respond in the same way as heterosexual women, though it could not be determined whether this was cause or effect.[citation needed] The study was expanded to include homosexual women; the results were consistent with previous findings meaning that homosexual women were not as responsive to male identified odors, while their response to female cues was similar to heterosexual males.[18] According to the researchers, this research suggests a possible role for human pheromones in the biological basis of sexual orientation.[19] In 2008, it was found using functional magnetic resonance imaging that the right orbitofrontal cortex, right fusiform cortex, and right hypothalamus respond to airborne natural human sexual sweat.
