Don’t like partners natural scent

[Anonymous]

Wouldn't marry anyone even if they smell like a flower.

He'd always made an effort to smell great prior to getting married and then personal care interest fell off gradually over many years of marriage. He is well aware that smell is very important to me and I've given him plenty of colognes (that he claims to like) over the years, but he can't be bothered to wear them. Or he remembers once in a blue moon and thinks that will cause me to suddenly swoon.

Does your sex look life suffer?

Nope. 🚩

It usually means that you lack natural chemistry or attraction. Which isn’t ideal, obviously.

Isn’t there something about attraction really being about having kids with optimum health, etc?

Everyone smells when they are a little weary or have that outside smell. Do they shower daily? Sleep while sweaty? It depends.

I need to be attracted to their smell, so no.

Interestingly, I read an article several years ago about how birth control pills change your sense of smell. The article was trying to showcase why some are less sexually attracted to their partners after marriage. Presumably before marriage most are on bc, but then after you marry and in your menopausal state you are no longer smelling your partner the same way as when you were first attracted to them.

I admit I’m odd. I like her natural scent/pheromones after she works out. I know, weird, sick, whatever you want to call me. 🤷‍♂️

I had three dates with a woman I like but I texted her I don't want to continue. There are a few good reasons for that, dealbreakers, but also, her scent does not agree with me. She smells fine and it I was willing, we could have worked that out but the smell of whatever perfume she uses didn't do it for me.

Everyone stinks when sweaty.

This is your body telling you you aren't compatible. Not even kidding.

I don't like my kids' smell. Am I incompatible with my own offspring?

+1 it’s also your body telling you that he may have something that can infect you or make you sick

My new BF smells because of his scented laundry detergent. I am trying to make changes. I hate the smell of these scented detergents more than ANYTHING!!!!

So this. Pheromones

I'm sensitive to smells due to migraines. Some people have an awful natural smell. I think it's a dealbreaker, unfortunately. Once the honeymoon is over, you will be left with a stinker.
