theory

i've theorised today, that the amount of scent au naturel a man gives out is proportional to how macho a man is. i came up with it when my very macho golf editor sat down in an air-conditioned with the freelance web designer.

...the webdesigner smelt like musty sweat dried on woolen pullovers (which it probably is) and the editor smelled like an unwashed respiratory system. WAH PIANG EH don't be so manly can not??? i know the ancestors used scent to mark terri-blardee-tory lah but why surely they appreciate the idea that the ancestors probably survived because they didn't have to have meetings in air-conditioned little rooms back then?

they all would've died from the prehistoric equivalent of death-gas.


again, manliness. it does not have to be body odour, it can even be commercial scent.

but as i said, the more macho they are, the stinkier they are going to get.... or rather, the more likely they are to "forget" what scent does to a girl... which turns a girl off. BIG TIME.

MUST the men spoil their image like that? hawt and manly until within a meter's radius? that's when you know it's not love when you faint. why can't they understand that women LURVE scents? applied with finesse, it can cause a woman to fall instantly in love.

i know, cause i've fallen in instant love before, and that was just from a whiff of perfume. i had looked about for whom i am sure to be my true love then, but i couldn't locate the chap. well. what can i say? i lost my love at an overcrowded train station.

almost romantic. almost.


conversely, give a woman a man who smells of stale sweat. the kind that has gone from sour to sweet. yeah, you know the kind. well. i don't know about other girls but i for one will be the first to have difficulties breathing.

oh. wait. maybe the theory should be - the more macho a man is, the less developed his sense of smell. :D that must be it!
