Marcus Wolfe Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 What is the deal with perfumes? Why do girls make themselves smell like bad fruit?If it's for us guys, we're flattered, but please stop. This brilliant idea came to me last night. Guys are attracted to the smell of freshly baked cookies, so why not sell a perfume that smells like freshly baked cookies? (as a small bonus, guys view slightly chubby girls as more attractive when hungry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samroski Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Guys are attracted to the smell of freshly baked cookies, so why not sell a perfume that smells like freshly baked cookies? Most of us probably have had similar ideas while walking past a bakery- you know the smell of freshly baked bread/cookies. In fact now that you mention it- I suppose this smell would want you to eat women- and this could be an idea for a whole new industry/type of perfume (if you know what I mean). On a more serious note- only about 1% of perfumes are actually good- (and the one that you like- your woman doesn't)- so perfumes is a losing battle... The most interesting thing about perfumes though is that even if you do not like them- long term memory is intricately linked to smells, and this can make strange memories pop into your consciousness at the strangest of times...

Every start of the summer when I'm in my room with the window open and the sun is shining there's this smell or at least atmosphere that reminds me of the summer before. It's similar.

Marcus Wolfe Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Yes, some seasons have scents associated. Sometimes I notice an 'autumny' smell that gets real strong around Halloween. Just think about it though. If a girl was wearing perfume that smelt like cookies and walked into a room, the smell would spread throughout. A guy like me would pick up the scent and would then be curious as to where it was coming from. Unlike other perfumes, which would make me think 'hey, somebody is wearing perfume', this smell would make me think 'What? Cookies? Must find source of smell!' I would then follow the scent, expecting to find cookies. Instead I would find a girl who smelled like cookies. On the downside, I might keep my mind on trying to find cookies, but still, it was an effective lure, which is what girls use perfume as, am I correct?

ninja_lord666 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Actually, perfume was introduced in ancient times when people didn't bathe, so they either smelled like flowers or grungy sweat. Back then, perfume served the purpose of masking foul odors. Now though, it's not used so much as to attract men as to differentiate one's self with other women. If a man enters a room full of women, all he'll notice is a bunch of women, but if one smells different than the others, then he'll notice the difference.

Septim741 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Sorry, but personally, I don't get turned on by freshly baked cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoogieMonster Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 And if a man walks into a room filled with women all wearing bad perfume, he'll likely turn around and walk back out. I doubt any women are reading this, but if you are, then pay attention. If a man is close enough to smell you, then he has already noticed you, and if he can smell you from more than a few feet away then either he was just released from a long prison term or you stink. Take a bath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Wolfe Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Well, I have a keen sense of smell. And I'm throwing around the idea of cookie perfume because a perfume that actually attracts guys like us is so much more potent then a perfume that just helps us differentiate women.

ninja_lord666 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 The problem with a cookie perfume is then the woman would run into a man who smells cookies, tries to find the cookies, gets disappointed there are no cookies, and walks away. Either that, or she runs into the retarded fat guy who barrels towards her, tackles her, and starts licking her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Wolfe Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Well, even if it didn't get him interested in her, it would still physically bring the guy into the area of her, right? That means it would be easier for her to make moves. Admittedly, that retarded fat guy who barrels towards her, tackles her, and starts licking her thing could be problematic.......
