All credit to the OP, "smells boring" are two words I've never seen together, yet I understand completely what they mean. Do I have permission to use this myself?
Someone: Do you like Amelia?
Me: No, she smells boring.
I'm not being sarcastic, by the way. I really like this. To answer your question, though, no smell isn't a turn-off to me. But then neither is the way someone looks.
Are you one of those people who claims that a person's appearance makes absolutely no difference to them? :/
It's not quite as simple as that but I would say that, in general, intelligence, a sense of humour, and liking animals are attributes more important to me in terms of attraction than they generally are for most people.
You could see that as me saying appearance is of no importance, but it's not what I mean. :)
Would it be a turn on if she smelled like she works with animals then? (Or alternately if she smells like books and clowns, but I don't think either of those are really strong enough to stick to a person)
Well, no, because if it was a turn on then I'd say "smells like animals" would be something that's more important to me, as opposed to intelligence and sense of humour.
As an example, if someone offers me salad and asks what I prefer, I'd say I prefer lettuce and onions to tomatoes. I wouldn't expect them to give me lettuce, onion, and dog turd (because I'd said I preferred tomato less so they chose to replace it with dog turd).
That isn't really the same thing. Smelling faintly of animals could be an early indication that the person likes animals, which you said was one of the things that you find attractive. Dog turds, however, are probably not an indication that the chef has the same preference in salads to you. If anything it would be like saying you don't want tomatoes on your salad only for the waiter to ask if you're sure and spend the next few minutes trying to convince you that tomatoes go really well on salads.
Smells more or less average. Nothing really objectionable about their scent that makes you wonder if they've ever heard of soap. But also nothing really interesting about it that makes it hard to think of anything but how much you want him.
Bizarre. You follow your nose rather than your eyes, that's pretty unusual.
"I don't care that he's gorgeous and romantic! HE SMELLS BORING! He could be ugly as hell but at least if he smelt interesting I could just sit sniffing him all day instead of having to look at his pretty face, my nose unsatisfied, aching for a whiff of something complex."
You gotta smell nice or Yo ass is sleeping with the dogs! THATS JUST CRAZY YOU NEED TO GET YO LIFE!
Scent, I think. Looks are a factor for me, but it's almost always been the smell that's attracted me to them in the first place.
My natural first reaction was "A guy/girl that smells nice".
But ultimately, smell is easier to "fix" than looks...via nutrition, sports, or even perfume/deodorant...
Like, true, the natural smell is way more powerful, but at least i can DO something about smell.
Looks? Barely a chance...so i'll go with someone that looks nice and hope i'll get them to smell nice(or find that i take a liking to their smell later)
If you look nice, it seems like it would be fairly easy to smell nice. Just take a shower and throw some perfume on. The opposite is not true.
Smelling nice is a huge turn-on. And I don't really judge guys by their looks. (:
smell nice. If there is this really hot guy but he has an odour, it is a turn off
I'm not a dog or otherwise furry, so I haven't met a girl who smells "boring", but it's probably better than any smell at all.
You said 'looks average' which isn't a bad thing if she's got a good personality & smells like teen spirit.
If you don't like someone's smell you're not likely to have much chemistry. And I like chemistry so give me someone who smells good.
I actually much prefer a boring smell, or at most a subtle, delicate perfume. Too often I'll just walk by a girl on the street and be completely bombarded by Beyonce's new fragrance or something.
I don't get it.. how can you date a pretty girl that stinks or a fugly one that smells nice?
None of this is possible. Both or nothing.
