Scent has definitely turned me off of someone before. My ex-boyfriend decided to buy Old Spice body wash once and we were making out and I was feeling extremely uncomfortable and repulsed but couldn't figure out why. I made us stop and we were just sitting there, both wondering what the hell was going on, and I suddenly realized he smelled like my dad.
Needless to say he never used that body wash again. *shudder*
IronOxide:
I think you are missing the boat here, it's not "this guy smells like old spice, I don't like the smell of old spice" that this article is trying to say, they're trying to say that on some kind of subconscious level you smell a dude after a workout and say "this dude will provide greater genetic variation for my offspring, making them less prone to genetic defect, thus more likely to throw my genetic material into further generations."
You people are talking about classical conditioning, which is where you form associations between smells and people.

Hm. I'm interested in the part about women on the pill. I have never experienced a lower sex drive despite being on it. I somehow personally have a harder time believing that men are less attracted to women on the pill; how do they know? I'd like to learn more about that part. Curious.
PacoSees:
I actually found it to be some kind of sixth sense this past semester. 6 times out of 7, I could tell if the girl was on the pill or not. It might be some subtle behavior thing I picked up, but if you wait til May, I can try some "formal" experiments.
