which of your senses do you believe is the strongest,and which one would you sacrifice if you HAD to choose one..??Why?
I think my strongest sense is my sense of smell..but even so,between sight/touch/smell/sound/taste I would sacrifice it first..
I couldn´t imagine loosing one of the others!

Actually your sense of smell is strongest for younger women. And there is a definitive reason...for reproduction. Women will not mate with men that do not "smell right."
For younger men, they have a stronger sense of sight. Gee, little surprise there! And we all know that there is reproductive value there as well.
For all of us though our sense of touch is also very strong due to the fact that there is survival value for ourselves in it. Ex. You won't go near something that is too hot.
I think I would sacrifice my sense of taste....if I had to.
Therefore, I'd never have to diet again. Yay!
Cool question luv!

I had a friend who lost his sense of smell do to an accident with fireworks..... when smell went so did his sense of tast (for the most part) so smell would really be losing one sense and 80% of another. Still, I would have to go with smell because losing touch, sight, or hearing would be worse than losing both smell and taste!

I believe my sight is the strongest. But, I would give up smell first. It may even save me some migraines if I can't smell! Seems that very strong smells bring them on!

Ooooo, good one! I'm very visual, so it has to be sight for strongest, or most relied upon. With loss of sense of smell you would lose some sensitivity to taste. However, I'm with you, it has to be sense of smell. Though I would miss roses.

I think sight is the sense I would miss most, and if I had to lose one I would say taste. It would be sad, but on the plus side maybe I'd lose some weight!

I believe sight is my strongest but I wouldn't mind losing my sense of sound.

Idk what id give up if I had to choose. But I can tell you that if you gave up your smell then you wouldnt be able to taste anymore... either.
