would you want enhanced smell?
on: October 10, 2014, 07:53:08 PM
i was thinking what it would be like to have superhuman senses.  it would be really cool to have enhanced sight and hearing but i think an enhanced sense of smell would be more of a curse than a blessing.  i really don't think having a super sense of smell would improve the quality of my life and think it would be extremely annoying having every bad or strange odor magnified.  if a genie were able to grant you a super sense of smell would you accept it?  maybe i haven't thought of something but i think i would turn it down.

lol, do you already smell?  i find everyone has their own unique smell and i can tell if people i know have been in my apartment even if only for 30 minutes.  people have a unique smell that i can't really compare anything to...but some people's smell is stronger than others.

just don't overdo it with the perfume.  a little bit is sexy but too much gives me a headache.

would you want enhanced smell?

I'm told that police dogs have a dog's life, so no, thanks. ;)
No amount of how-to information is going to work if you have the wrong mindset, the wrong guiding philosophies. Avoid losers like the plague, and gather with and learn from winners only.

If you could turn it off, maybe.
