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.
