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.
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.
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

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.
