i had this pinoy fren in a mideast country, being close with the arab co workers, he asked why they smell of sheeps. Not being insulted, an arab answered that he also wondered why pinoys smell like fish.This reminds me a saying of jose rizal "ang hindi marunong magmahal ng sariling wika, ay higit pa ang amoy sa malansang isda".Every culture therefore has its distinctive smell.
Another case, my sister, riding an elevator in hong kong overheard the local cantonese chinese there murmuring "why do filipinos smell of coconut oil"? knowing the language, she retaliated by saying, you chinese smell like corn . Well, we do use coconut oil mostly in our food, and this chinese use corn oil in their cooking.No wonder.
now, what i'm thinking is what kind of oil should one consume so they can be attractive or repulsive to the opposite sex, in whatever culture?
