Why do I attract the flies!?

Question

I always seem to have a cloud of them above me and I get bitten a lot. Walking in the countryside today they were following me around but going nowhere near my girlfriend. I shower daily - honest!

Answer 1

Maybe u just smell. It doesn't matter if u shower, if u sweat the flies will still be attracted. Make sure you have on some deodorant!

Answer 2

Must be your manly smell

Answer 3

Ask your girlfriend, there are no flies on her!

Answer 4

you smell of S**t!

Answer 5

I have no sympathy. I do not suffer from 'Lord of the Flies'. However, I do suffer from wasps, and even worse, attacks by hornets.

I have often been attacked by these just for daring to walk along the street. My antics, like jumping up and down and waving my arms about, make me look as if I am a madman to people from a distance!

They really do follow me around. It must be my pheromones. Your girlfriend obviously smells better than you or I. Showering has no effect.

Do you drink alcohol? If so, the insects, being real 'bingers', will swarm about you. They are better than a 'breathalyser test' any day. There are no flies on me - but much worse, so to speak.

Just wait until you have been attacked by a horse fly. Go away and stop being a wimp!

Answer 6

Everyone has their own natural smell.Your natural smell is obviously dirty.

Answer 7

I get the same thing - they seem to form attack squads and home in!

It could be that your individual scent - not dirty, just your natural smell - is attractive to them for some reason. Or maybe it's just bad luck.
