"You smell like my dad". Then leaves a puddle on the bed. Is this a red flag?

Woman are weird man, don’t look into this too much but that’s funny

VasiliyZaitzev · 2020-03-10T19:51:46+00:00

Her: "You smell like my dad."

You: "Then call me 'Daddy.'"

amwfhunter · 2020-03-10T19:19:33+00:00

Wtf hahahahha I am sorry bro this is hilarious. You should just woody Allen and adopt her then. Be her real daddy.

goofballgorilla · 2020-03-10T21:23:35+00:00

She thinks her dad is manly. She associates his smell with manliness. She now thinks your manly. Lucky you.

This post brought to mind some scent related anecdotes:

Stayed at a girl's house and showered the next day. She told me she slept with the towel I used because it smelled like me.

Went on a lakeside cabin camping trip with a bunch of friends. One of the girls sticks her face in my armpit and tells me how good I smell. Hadn't showered in 3 days. We hook up for the rest of the trip.

Ex purposefully bought my exact cologne for her new boyfriend (now husband).

Scent doesn't have to make sense. It's more primal than that.

Domebeers · 2020-03-10T21:19:41+00:00

You use the same aftershave I guess.

Nothing she said there was a red flag, relax Rambo.

WHAT KIND OF aFTER sHaVE U Use?!?!

athrowaway-9001 · 2020-03-10T21:31:21+00:00

Depends on the girl of course. Take judgement for yourself and plan accordingly.

Otherwise an exclamation that I could offer pertains to pheromones.

In one 2005 study, gay men given anonymous samples of sweat preferred the scent of gay men, and heterosexual men fancied the scent of women. One’s nose can also help identify a genetically compatible mate. Researchers asked women to rate the odors of T-shirts worn by different men. Women preferred men whose DNA was different enough from their own that it would increase the likelihood of producing a child with a robust immune system.

In the ongoing debate over whether human pheromones exist, this new study by Claire Wyart and colleagues adds a tidbit more evidence. Pheromones are hormone-like compounds emitted by one individual that, when detected by another individual's hormone receptors, affect physiology and behavior. In many animals, pheromones are detected by the vomeronasal organ (VNO) in the nose, which then sends signals to brain regions involved in homeostasis (roughly speaking, the regulation of physiology) and sexual behavior. Although odors from other individuals also affect behavior, the VNO is a separate system from the olfactory system, which detects smell. Until recently, the VNO in humans was thought to be vestigial and non-functional, and scientists still debate how significant a role the VMO plays. Thirty-five years ago, though, University of Chicago psychologist Martha McClintock(then a Wellesley undergrad) performed classic studies showing that nasal exposure to extracts of sweat from other women had the ability to synchronize women's menstrual cycles. Since then, a series of studies have demonstrated that women exposed nasally to androstadienone, an androgen-like compound found in male underarm sweat, show a host of psychological and physiological responses, even when the odor of this substance is disguised or when androstadienone is applied directly to the VNO so that women can't smell it. Androstadienone exposure made the women feel slightly less tense and nervous and reduced their heart rate, skin conductance and other measures of physiological excitability. Even more interesting, positron-emission tomography (PET) brain imaging studies showed that androstadienone exposure caused activation in the hypothalamus (a region involved in sexual behavior and reproductive hormone control, among other homeostatic functions) in straight women and gay men, whereas in straight men and gay women it activated only olfactory processing centers. Meanwhile,an estrogen-like putative pheromone produced by women did the reverse, activating the hypothalamus in straight men and gay women but only olfactory areas in the gay men and straight women

Girls associate shaving cologne to their dads and most girls have ranging levels of daddy issues.

Dont look too much into it unless it happens too often and weirds you out.

LSDparade · 2020-03-10T19:29:50+00:00

Hahahahaha

deeznutsbeswingin · 2020-03-10T19:23:13+00:00

Enjoy bro, daddy issues girls are the best. Just don’t get too invested

Whisper · 2020-03-11T02:20:14+00:00

Every girl has daddy issues.

The ones with bad fathers have issues about that.

The ones with absent fathers have issues about that.

And the ones with good fathers have issues about that.

courtesy_flush_plz · 2020-03-10T23:59:39+00:00

Man, my dad told me about his coworker's ex who likes it in her ass because that's where her dad used to put it ..

jsphere256 · 2020-03-10T21:35:20+00:00

Not a red flag, this is your opportunity to escalate. Put your foot down, daddy.

InscrutablePUA · 2020-03-11T00:35:25+00:00

Overthinking it

Zanford · 2020-03-10T20:18:05+00:00

Be a bro and telling us what shaving cream or aftershave you were using and what that smell was

Sounds like you passed a shit test and that got her horny. You didn't tell us how she reacted but I'm assuming you passed and didn't get butthurt/defensive. That, and, she actually did like the smell but used it as a chance to shit test.

Sometimes girls will actually shit test you about the things they DO like about you, as a sort of ASD (trying to hamster themselves by 'talking down' their own horniness).

Or maybe she genuinely did have Daddy Issues or a Daddy Fetish and you literally reminded her of her dad.

This isn't really a red flag, it's a generic shit test. And it's unlikely it really signals Freud level daddy issues. And even if it did I would call that a yellow flag (i.e. kinda cray, proceed with fucking but be careful about LTR)

PepeApuSmidgeMarvNog · 2020-03-10T22:01:05+00:00

10/10 post.

BuckNekkid18 · 2020-03-10T22:06:26+00:00

Girls with daddy issues are so weird lmao

Folknust · 2020-03-10T22:08:36+00:00

Never stick your dick in crazy bro.

doodlevision · 2020-03-10T23:26:26+00:00

This isn’t daddy issues this is Oedipus Complex.

It’s true for everyone. Not a red flag.

El0vution · 2020-03-11T00:13:16+00:00

OP gets a compliment and is like “is this a red flag??”

PolesWithGoals · 2020-03-11T00:30:33+00:00

holy music stops

TitsAndWhiskey · 2020-03-11T03:21:26+00:00

Were you wearing old spice? Because that’s like bear bait for bitches with daddy issues.

pointster_VSK · 2020-03-10T19:37:34+00:00

Instead of having oneitis, Im confused as to why you didn’t bend her over and have her call you daddy?

Kabuki431 · 2020-03-10T22:54:54+00:00

Yep smell good and it will always remind them Of you.

Every time I go out, i always have atleast couple of chicks bury their face in my chest and go "you smell gooooooood"

2020-03-10T23:16:23+00:00

You're thinking too hard about this. Is your girl not normally wet when you have sex? She came over to have sex, so of course she's attracted to you anyway. If anything she was teasing you for smelling bad but you passed her shit test and she found that hot. She probably wasn't even specifically referring to her dad and was just saying you smell like an old man. It sounds like you're looking specifically for daddy issues, instead of every other much more likely possibility.

Zero-Milk · 2020-03-11T03:41:19+00:00

I find the lack of "yes" responses disturbing.

Wtfbyamey · 2020-03-11T04:04:47+00:00

Bro, she might not be a gf material, but girls with daddy issues are 100% 🔥 in bed , she will give you the best blowjobs and best sex of your life!

sowhattwenty20 · 2020-03-11T06:05:30+00:00

Make a mental note, but people reveal themselves in patterns of behavior, and this is a single event. This doesn’t seem that weird for a girl. They are emotional beings who often have verbal diarrhea the more comfortable they are around you.

throwawaycunt1997 · 2020-03-11T06:25:45+00:00

Jung must be turning in his grave.

Kronosfkg · 2020-03-11T06:30:09+00:00

I haven't washed my bed sheets for months, and yet, my gf love their smell. She also love the smell of my cloths. Weird shit but okay.

dkod066 · 2020-03-11T08:31:16+00:00

Use and abuse dont wifey this bitch up

Tambamwham · 2020-03-11T11:07:51+00:00

This isn’t a daddy issue

deville05 · 2020-03-11T12:46:28+00:00

Well.. If she rolled her eyes like your mom would on something you said and then you fucked her, would you interpret it as you wanting to boink your mom?

Cancermaxxed · 2020-03-11T15:58:04+00:00

Fwb of mine regularily wants worn Tshirts of me that often times smell like sweat. I allow her maximum 1 piece at any time. I rarely want to give away any of my clothes to girl as I potentionally lose the clothes if the FWB relationship breaks.

Foolishoe · 2020-03-11T21:41:46+00:00

She doesn't like the smell of your aftershave...?

Strange thing for her to say, she just sounds dumb.

2020-03-10T21:43:52+00:00

How old are you? And her? I’ve had the puddle issue, once. Pissed me off.

AshyBoneVR4 · 2020-03-11T05:32:17+00:00

LOL you were thinking of making her a girlfriend? Yeah, MAAAAAAAAASSIVE red flag. That screams daddy issues. Do not pass go. Plate her, have fun, and move on.

wyota · 2020-03-11T01:06:19+00:00

This isnt daddy issues. This is something far worse. She probably had a disturbing childhood and I'd stay away since she seems to revel in it.

fernandoarauj · 2020-03-10T20:07:35+00:00

You shave? For woman? Beta AF
