Do guys have a heightened sense of smell?

Question

Ok, so i was talking to my new boyfriend, and the same thing happens in each of my relationships: all of them usually say something along the lines of, "you smell so good." My new bf even goes "i thought you were wearing perfume, but it seems that your shampoo is what i've been smelling all along. It smells great" Does every guy have a heightened sense of smell? The smell of my shampoo from the bottle makes me cringe, and the only reason I use it is because it works. After a few hours though, the smell goes away from my hair..So the question is...is he lying and saying that to make me happy, or is it because he has a weird sense of smell?

Answer 1

A women's sense of smell is much better than a guys.

And you prop use the same shampoo all the time, so your use to the smell and he isn't.

And the sense of smell starts to decline as we get older. in fact, your sense of smell (and mine) were the greatest as a baby, and through out the years, its been getting worse and worse.

Answer 2

trustttt guys DO NOT have a heightened sense of smell or anything. girls just tend to smell good haha. and usuuallyyy it's because of a nice smelling shampoo or lotion or something. guys always notice it when a girl walks past and smells really good haha so take it as a compliment because you probably smell really nice (if all your bf's have told you that) and don't change your shampoo i guess lol

p.s. i'd prefer the smell of nice shampoo over perfume on girls any day

No it's because you are the closest to your own 'smell' so your nose gets numb of it after a while. Other people can move away from you so when they get close again the nose picks it up.

Guys I do know tend to have better vision acuity, it's the reason men can parallel park hahaha. Women have better vocabulary skills.  

Answer 4

Women have a more heightened sense of smell then men. I think it has to do with hormones.
