Ask Dali Mama

DEAR DALI MAMA: 

Sometimes I date different men and get really turned off by the smell of some of them but it’s not even like they have body odor. What is the cause of this?

–Sensitive Smeller (Brazil)

DEAR SS:

You are likely responding to the pheromones of the men. If they’re not a good biochemical match for you, their pheromones won’t smell good to you. You’re right—it does not have anything to do with body odor. They’re likely just not the right match for you.

The other possibility is that you’re someone that smells energy. Some people see energy or feel energy. Some people know stuff or hear psychic messages. And some people can smell energy. They might smell someone whose energy is coming around them. For example, maybe they’d smell their grandmother’s perfume when their grandmother’s spirit comes to visit them. They might smell lovely smells when lovely energy comes around. Or they might smell disagreeable odors when energy they don’t resonate with is around.

Or it might be a combination of pheromones and smelling energy. Play with this and see which it is for you. And trust yourself. Your nose knows. Ha ha.
