I have a co-worker I have had a HUGE crush on for months now. Its rare I ever meet a man that actually lust after (based on looks and personality), so I've been enjoying this. He is unavailable, so it isn't going to go anywhere, but it definitely livens up the workday.
Anyway, today, he was sitting very close to me during a meeting and I was able to actually smell him for the first time. He does not have any body odor and is very well-groomed and professional looking, but his overall smell is quite distinct and I was completely turned off by it!
I thought to myself, I don't think there is any way I could actually kiss him or pursue any relationship with him now that I've smelled him. Not that it would happen anyway in this case, but the smell just almost completely killed my crush.
I remember another guy where this happened to me a few years ago- once I got up close enough to really smell him, it completely killed the attraction.
My last boyfriend, on the other hand, well, I just loved how he smelled, and it wasn't due to aftershave or cologne or anything.
So, it made me curious if others have ever encountered this issue before. I find it kind of interesting.
I know its due to pheromones, I was just curious if others have ever had such an experience where someone's smell played a deciding role as to whether or not to pursue getting involved with them.

I can't recall ever experiencing something like that. It sounds so interesting, though.
I'm a guy so don't assume anything. There are guys I work with that wear the extremely strong, musk smelling cologne. There are women, too, that will seemingly take baths in their perfumes. For the women, wearing so much perfume that makes me gag and tear-up is a turn-off, but at the bottom of my list.
Just a question I was pondering; guys where different kinds or smells of colognes, but mostly to attract women. Women, on the other hand, seem to use perfume for no reason other to smell good. It they did where perfume to attract men, why wear lavender or something from Paris, when smelling like bacon or a steak dinner may be a bigger winner?
