Why are flies attracted to poop?

And what other smells attract them?

Seriously, if I have a fly buzzing around me bothering me, does that say something about me? (Yes, I bathe regularly.)

They are attracted to anything that will provide the necessary nourishment for their larvae. They lay their eggs on the material.
