My smell

[P999]

So this man i know says he can 'smell' where a woman is in her monthly cycle. Is he full of shit? Or does anyone know any men who can genuinely sense this?

I used to work with someone and I used to know exactly when she was on as she would have a rotten smell for about 4 days every month.. Made me very conscious and I still. Am today of a smell when I'm on..

1. What a fucking creep.

1. I'll decline to add details about 'my smell' as it sounds like the kind of weird shit creeps enjoy reading.

Your secrets should remain relatively safe on an anoymous forum NeckPain.

I'm with Neck. What a creep.

My ex said this too. But he is a weirdo, hoarding, flat earthing, self confessed ‘mad’ Max. He says it because he thinks it will get women into bed, like they’ll think he’s some kind of chymical wizard.

I have an excellent sense of smell and can definitely smell the ‘metallic’ scent of blood, but only my own ! Certainly nobody else’s encased within layers of clothing fabric

I believe him, dh has been the first to inform me of my pregnancies every time because I 'smell different', sometimes within a couple of weeks. (Strangely my mum also knows but she says it's because of my eyes.)

I can smell if my children are ill and can still smell in my head my sister when she had flu when we were little. So distinctive
I believe it

Me too. I have a very strong sense of smell - if I go to a public toilet I can smell the 'intimate smell' of the previous occupant and whether she was on period. Can smell who has been in an empty room - especially if it was a child. Children smell very strong to me. It's both a blessing and a curse.

@P999 no not always nasty although there are a lot of people who very clearly dont keep clean.

It's more of a umm not sure how to describe it actually.. a warmth .
I'd still rather not know what I could smell of my work colleagues though, clean or not hence the

@mintyt what does a menopause smell smell like?

I also smell a certain smell when someone has just died. I haven't been around that many recently deceased people and I thought everyone could smell it, but it turns out only some people can, and it is present before the person passes away.

I have a male friend who has this "talent" too. He's deaf in one ear and thinks there's a connection to his smell superpower...

The strippers getting more money when ovulating does make sense as I’ve read women smell most attractive when ovulating.

Oh yes, if someone's had a wee before me I can smell all sorts, from period fanjo to crisp wees (urine has a certain smell if someone's eaten crisps/super noodles). I've never given it much though before.

what does a menopause smell smell like

Blue cheese.

Only realised once I started HRT and the fusty odour went away.

When I was a teenager my friend and I sent off for a pheromone spray make us more attractive to the opposite sex.

But I never want to smell like blue cheese

I had blue cheese on Wednesday. Probably for the last time...

I can smell when the children are coming down wiuth something and when my daughter is on her period.

My eldest son can smell it on me and his sister too.

Why didn't you test him? You wouldn't have to tell him if he was right, but you'd know. Or would it involve more intimacy than you want?

Presumably everyone can smell the previous occupant in a loo cubicle? Not every time, but often? It's never a perfume smell, not a dirty smell, but just an earthy, body kind of smell.

I've not known enough ill or pregnant people to have any idea. I didn't smell illness on the kids though. Not until the were actually ill.

I can smell illnesses too - especially on my kids. Thought that was a normal thing....

Yes exactly, @NeckPainChairSearch is right.

Why on earth did he even tell you this OP? It is a weird and inappropriate thing to say to a woman. (regardless if it's true or not). And yes there are men who get a kick out of this sort of topic

He wasn't giving me a good sniff at the time. Cant remember how or why it came up, but we had had a few drinks. Am actually seeing him tomorrow at a kids birthday party and am on right now. So will let you know if his nose gets a bit twitchy. Or, perhaps, better still, will keep my distance

What a thread

I’d be horrified if I thought the people at work could smell me. I use a mooncup though so I think I’m safe? The fact that I’m absolutely fuming permanently for about 4 days though probably gives it away.

Ugh.

He thinks he can smell ovulation? I smell BS.
