How come we're immune to our own farts, yet everyone else would think they smell disgusting (or vise versa)?

Question

For example, I think mine smell lovely, like potpourri, yet a random stranger would disagree and begin gagging and choking from the "awful" smell...

Answer 1

I think mine smell like roses on a spring day.  Everyone else has a scent impediment

Answer 2

dude,we're not immune to our own,we can smell it too...and mine,they smell to a very sweet beautiful swamp fruit...like everyone else...what the heck do you eat?clovers and chamomile?

Answer 3

I don't know how true that is...someone in this house wakes up to his own...and smells them.

Answer 4

Women don't f**t, we fluff. That's why I like to wear T shirts, I can pull them over my nose and smell my breath which smells like apples by the way lol.

Answer 5

Possibly just the thought of taking your gas into their lungs. Just think about it, would you want to take a large wiff of someone else's gas and have it swirling around inside your body?

Of course, you wouldn't mind if your own gases are inside of you, because they already were in the first place.

Psychological.

Answer 6

Just psychological "tolerance" I would say. You get used to your own self that it doesn't bother you on the scale that someone else may have.
