Ok humour me people, i'm bored.

Would you prefer someone to say your outfit looked nice, or that you smelt nice? Does that even make sense?
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    as long as they didnt say "your outfit looks nice but you really stink", in which case that would cancel it out.

    Smells are very important for me, and I gave the compliment of "you smell nice" in the past, and it was with utmost honesty...

    It looses a lot, if you have to explain then, because you get an :eek2: -reaction.

    I don't really bother. I'd prefer I myself look nice, but if smell or outfit, meh, I don't care.

    I'd prefer if they told me I smell nice. I don't really pay attention to what I'm wearing, so it would mostly be luck if it looked nice on me.

    Smell nice, cuz if somebody said my outfit looked nice I"d be talking to the local bag lady who would be in the process of robing me of my homley attire.

    Nice head, I think I'll take it.

    Plus, I'm very proud of my hygene.

    Definitely outfit looks nice. Generally bit more time and effort go into dressing than into having a shower and spritzing yourself with Glade :razz:

    I'd prefer to be told I smelt nice. Unless I'd made my outfit, in which case my outfit.

    Being told you smell nice is more of a compliment to you yourself, because it compliments your hygiene and attention to taking care of yourself, while if someone compliments your outfit it's more about how much time/effort you put into buying clothes and mannequinning yourself. Somehow being told you smell nice is more of a personal compliment than being told you're good at choosing clothes that other people have made the effort to design and create.

    But being told a dress or top looks great I've made sends me over the moon, so.....

    Just MHO

    Would prefer to be told i smell nice as "oh you look nice" is sometimes used as a bit of an easy comment to be fair, like a sort of offhand compliment. If they tell you you smell nice then you know it's a fair comment as nobody lies about that :yes: If that makes any sense whatsoever :D

    It would depend what I was wearing clothes wise and what I smelt of.

    Smell nice.

    I work in a chip shop on a saturday, and I have a horse, so it's easier to look nice than it is to get the horsey chips smell out of my hair. I think it's ingrained. :yeees:

    I feel naked if I leave the house without scent on, so I would definetely rather be complimented by saying I smell good!

    I definately prefer to be told I look nice. After all, you can spot someone from a didstance and know they look nice, but you have get up close to notice the smell. It's rather unlikely they'd follow a waft. That said, if they told me I smelt nice too, well that'd be a bonus. :thumb:
