You would think they would recongize the shirts. Escpically if they brought them to the test.

@Ashley_Squared: I feel like I've seen this on tv and they use plain white t-shirts. Guessing they launder them and hand them out and have you bring it back at the specified time.

Scientists are always trying to minimize the amount of variables.

why all the furry haters? men are furry - the more testosterone, the more fur - its hormonal - its normal

I love my guy and all his fuzzy glory (and heady testosterone)

@jennyOH: if my guy were gay (and larger) he'd be a Gay Bear's Delight

the only place he doesn't have hair is on his shoulders (area where one would get arm tattoo)

.....and it keeps me warm at night

I love a man that smells great. My guy uses great deodarant so when I hug it is the first thing I notice...of course that may be because I am armpit height. I know I sleep with his t-shirts when he's not around as well. And I am sure I could pick his scent out but there's no way I could sniff out my male friends...and in most cases, I wouldn't want to ewww.

Sadly, my relationships never outlasted the moment the guy's scent turned into odor. It happens one day and it's over.

@ZenoNerps: I hear you - while I'm not about to leave this one (he's a good one) I have noticed that I used to love every smell on him and now I find myself asking him to brush his teeth or take a shower because his "six gun chili" balls are stinking up the room.

sad

i think it lust that allows scent to be euphoric and love which kills it. fucking love!

My favorite part of my boy's smell is his breath, oddly enough.

Does this make me weird?

Okay, let's not make any more comments on the picture, each one compels me scroll up to check what you're all talking about and I immediately regret it.

Makes sense. I remember a study years ago that proved a correlation between physical attraction and genetic compatibility. Basically, if a person's natural odor smells reallyreally good to you, more than likely you are genetically compatible with them. Conversely if someone's natural odor does not please you, you are not likely to be genetically compatible. Maybe it had to do with pheromones, but also something to do with DNA. How your DNA eaffects your smell I haven't the faintest, but I do know that all my BFs, current included, have smelled really good. At least to me, as it were.

I like the Passionate Love Scale questionnaire itself, it's fantastic.

I am going to save one of these for drunken message options: I have an endless appetite for affection from ________.

Nom nom nom nom.

Mr. Wheatgerm left for 6 weeks this morning and as I made the bed I did a small mental calculation to estimate how long I could go with these sheets. My plan is to hold onto the pillow case as I am a bit obsessive about changing the sheets.

@wheatgerm: You could always have him mail you his t-shirts after he's worn them so you can sleep in them. That way you can maintain your clean sheet fetish.

Pffft. Put the right men in my path (call me Clive!) and I'll somehow dredge up the ability to pay close attention to other potential lovers.

I find the smell of pretty much every man disgusting except that of my boyfriend.

Does that make me a pawn for science?

@Majrhoulihan: I am exactly the same way. It's weird because I can tell how other guys smell without even getting that close to them...and it repulses me.

Ah, but what of the not inconsiderable skill of being able to pick out the smell of your own child's... diaper in a room full of toddlers?

Now that is a skill.

@ellaesther: That's easy! My child's diaper will be the one that smells like lavender, rosebuds, and rainbows!

@sarah.of.a.lesser.god (2009: a space ovumlord): @BearDownCBears: Oh, you make me laugh, and on a day that I really need it! Thank you!

And seriously, the moment I realized I had that skill was a very, very odd moment indeed.

Though, as sarah rightly notes, it was of course an entirely delightful odor. Mostly rainbows. Of course!
