I've thought about this before. I don't think my sexual urges would have overcome the absolute ass stank produced before we discovered soap, regular bathing, and brushing teeth. I do seem to have a stronger sense of smell than most and find most people pretty gross already.

You'd probably be smell blind to it. It's a very different thing if you grew up used to it.

Yeah, clearly, folks didn't mind, or none of us would be here. I just can't imagine.

same.. but then again if you never knew any different then maybe you'd be MORE attracted to stank than the average person? I've wondered that myself because i really can't handle BO

Agreed, that's what's made me question it. Is it social conditioning? Idk, but I get unreasonably angry at people who are funky in inappropriate contexts. I still find it very unpleasant (including my own) in situations that are understandable/appropriate, but the anger isn't there.

yeah im the same way

today when my partner and i checked into a hotel the front desk guy smelled of BO stronger than I've ever smelled in my life and it immediately put me in a bad mood because it's so offensive

my partner commented as soon as we were outside that she couldn't believe the pungent BO on that guy and she knew I was dying the whole time he was telling about our room and the breakfast etc

i don't get mad when someone steps off a plane and stinks because what can you do? but at work when your job is to interact with people is a different story

again I'm far more sensitive to it than most others and i do my best to ignore it but today was a whole different level
