the importance of smelling good

right now lauren & madelyn are sitting in lauren's room senselessly screaming at each other, so I am out here being normal.
anyway, I have been thinking, and there are several things that make a person attractive, right? I mean obviously there is hair, smile, eyes, which are the most important, and I guess that leaves on the face... nose. I don't know how you feel about noses, I mean they are definitely important, try making a sim hot when you can't get the right nose, but no one really says "Oh my god he has the cutest nose ever!" (except lauren). But then of course there is personality i.e. sense of humor, wittiness, intelligence, musical ability, whether or not they have a british or australian accent, etc. Then there is the huge one of how they dress. Sense of style really depends on the person you are liking, so you may have to kind of adjust based on them, but there really is no denying if someone just wears really bad clothes. One thing that you probably haven't thought of, is how a person smells. Sense of smell is often the first sense that people think they could live without. But really, it is super important. Sense of smell helps you taste things and the smell of something invokes the most vivid memories. Every time I smell verbena lime lotion from bath and body works it reminds me of when my family went to ocean beach and lauren got super sunburned and she had to keep putting on that lotion. then it reminds me of all the gross beetles that were in my house. yeah, all that from just a whiff of lotion! But anyway, how someone smells can instantly change how you think of someone. Say there is this kid who is mildly attractive, then this kid that is miles ahead of him in good looks (he has a fantastic nose). so you sit by both of them and the one that is super hot doesn't really smell like anything, I mean he doesn't stink but it's nothing to remember. then the kid that is mildly attractive leans over to ask you a question and BAM, he smells delicious. he suddenly becomes great and you want to talk to him all the time and next thing you know you totally love him. why, because he smells fantastic and you will remember his wonderful smell. Trust me, next time you see (smell?) a guy that smells good you will think of me and love him. this, of course, brings up the topic of wearing too much cologne, but that is another story, which I will tell eventually if I do not suffocate in spanish due to the boy sitting next to me. (fyi the boy in front of me totally smells good, though).
So yeah, smelling good is good. So go out and buy a perfume that people will remember so that boys will love you, because they care about that stuff too. and definitely don't forget the forgotten sense.


Cheers,
