Why is it okay to smell your own fart, but it repulses you to smell someone elses?

Well, i suppose it is because we can tolerate our on smells, but when we smell someone elses it just seems nasty!! It is in a way prejudice, we can handle our own but not others...

Farting is funny, especially if its like a conversation, ya know, you fart, them someone else farts.. its like butts are having a conversation, in their own language, rofl.

because its a nature in us as people to invite other people into a misery they them selves are in. Sometimes its funny and interesting to be a coward and talk about somebody else behind there back. I feel if you do something to someone that you yourself would hate if it was happening to you, your a fool!!!

I'm not a guy but why would anyone want to be around someone who is constantly farting or burping?  Is it possible that your friend just wants to be one of the boys?

Because pooing and farting require the same basic bowel movement and runny poo can be quite sneaky!!\n\nTGW

Human sense of smell is designed to identify things which are bad for you so you can keep away from them/not eat them/not smell them, in order to avoid disease.\n\nEveryone's gut contains bacteria - often a specific combination of bacteria that your own gut has built up for itself and finds useful in digesting food and fending off 'alien' bacteria.  \n\nEssentially this means that your nose is smelling someone else's gut bacteria and recognises them as alien and not good were you to ingest them for any reason. \n\nSo it's just your nose's way of telling you that these bacteria are bad and not to get too close - that's why some smells are 'bad' and some are not.

If you are letting smelly ones you don't want people to know who passed it, so you slip it out quietly and wait to see who gets blamed.\n\nIf you KNOW it isn't a stinker you want to get credit for it so you push it out as loud as you can.\n\nThe inverse relationship becomes apparent when you fit a regression curve to experimental data. This gives us the equation...\n\n   loudness = ( distance_to_others / smelliness )^2

it's not that i "enjoy" them, but I can tolerate them. there's just something repulsive about somebody else's.  \nalso, there's the pride factor if you let out a particularly bad one that just lingers and lingers and burns your nose hairs off.

Yes. The obvious answer to the question is that you wouldn't like to be hanging around a person if he or she smells. Getting close to someone who smells is not fun.\n  Another deeper reason is that your nose is linked to your brain. Therefore a smell can be paired with a moment in time or a feeling you had when you smell it. Food is an easy example to show this. Lets say your grandma cooked the best apple pie. Every time you smell apple pie you would think of your grandma. So lets say I wear a certain Cologne. If you are around me enough every time you smell that you would think of me. Or a time that we spent together.\n    Another even more in dept attraction to smell is pheromones. Some scientists say that attraction at its most chemical state are pheromones our body produces. These pheromones are made to attract mates. People inhale your pheromones and attract you. So if you have a high pheromone count you could be a very attractive person even though you might not have the looks to go with it. The pheromone theory is just a theory.

Well Fart Man :) you might lay off the simple carbohydrates for starters. That can really give you gas. \n\nIf you feel one coming on you should excuse yourself and go into another room with a door to shut. Shut the door... fart...  come out and then BE SURE to close the door behind you! :) Air yourself out then return to her. \n\nNo one like smelling other peoples farts so I hope you are in shape so you can move when you need to. I really don't think it would be fare if further down the road you started getting put off and even possibly angry at her for you needing to get up to keep her breath space unpolluted. \n\nMaybe you could take charcoal tablets and reduce or eliminate simple carbs. \n\nI did see this guy on that Inventors show that had invented a FART PAD that one places in the underpants to absorb the odor. I thought it was a great invention... The judges just laughed at his invention...The judges seemed pretty immature.  What a shame. That guy might have them on the Internet though. I forgot what he called them. \n\nGood luck!

If you are a true friend you will tell the person that their breath stinks. Otherwise they will continue on and everyone else except them will notice this, which is the more embarassing senario. It is difficult because we as people have gotten to the point we don't want to offend anyone.

Because when a person sees another do something, they instantly think of what sensations that person is having. So, they start to feel their nose itch too. Same reason laughs are contagious.

Your a pretty fart smeller arn't you?  Try walking around on your feet instead of your hands, it will get your face up and out of the affected zone more.

didn't your Mum teach you to NEVER trust a fart?.  Just imagine the result of a follow through high up on a mountain,  They'd get a good laugh then... unless you needed stretchering off.  \n\nWhen you eat a tin of beans, how do you know which one made you fart?\n\nKeep it up, we are in need of some laughs..............
