Just finished an article in "Elle" magazine (U.S. edition) that claims certain fragrances influence the way we perceive qualities in people that have nothing to do with scent.

For example, men asked to guess a woman's weight are influenced by the perfume she's wearing. With one perfume in particular (I really need to remember the name so I can adjust my ice cream consumption) the average guess was as much as 12 pounds under the woman's real weight, among men who could guess fairly accurately the weight of a woman wearing no perfume or one of several different ones.

Women weren't fooled by fragrances when asked to guess the weight of other women; we must be too used to evaluating ourselves and the competition.
 
Spose if a girl smells of Kebab one may think she's a tad overweight of you wos blind like.

And if she smells like potato chips?:confused:

Depends really, English chips (fries) or American chips (crisps)
Oven cooked or deep fat fried.

Too many variations to make a definate descision!

Only when you're fresh. In the supermarket, you've been stale lately and your stock is plummeting due to a financial scandal.

I won't be facing you when the "hot" light comes on.
 
Must be a forum full of confident and/or thin women. Not one has asked for the name of the perfume that makes men think we're thinner. It's just as well. I can't find that page.

It was your responsibility to provide us, the readers, with such pertinent information.
The ommision of which will now leave me and I'm sure many others with the worry of wondering if they are now wearing the "fat" perfume.

I will forward all my therapists bills to you.

You'll have to find me first.

For anyone except Abs and/or her legal representatives who want to drop a quick 12 pounds by Friday, the instant-reduction perfume is in the February issue of Elle. The fat perfume is Chanel's new Kréme Krispée.

I've hired OJ's private detective to find you, so you're safe.

I knew it!!!

No more wasting a box of delicious circular delights by rubbing them all over me like a yeasty glazed loofah.

It wasn't the donut scent that attracted us, it was the twink hotness.;)

Sadly, I don't remember much about that other than the smell of donuts!

Sounds like Abs has been putting roofies in the punchbowl again. Until someone presses charges, I'm afraid it's not going to stop.

But that's the only reason we keep going back...

That's because I've never had so many suitors as since I put on a lot of weight. Men prefer fat chicks.:)
