      They can also smell when you haven't changed your socks for a month... Well, that's what James Marcus told me...

      Women also can smell money at least 3 miles away.
      I know, because I work approx 3 miles from home and my wife can tell when I've had the wallet out and approx how much I spent....just by long distance sniffing.

      Women can smell more than fear. They can smell confidence, interest, desire, excitement, and of course love.

      Being a man, I can't smell anything about a woman except her clean smell when she greets you and means it.
