It depends, are you talking an alive person, or dead? If you're talking alive, then all we smell like is blood, kind of like iron and meat, except for the stomach, colon and bowels. They really aren't pleasant to smell. If you have an infection, that part of you will smell bad, it's really pretty nasty. \n\nIf you are talking dead, then yes, you stink. The smell comes from bacteria created to feed off your dead tissue, decomposition. That really smells horrible!! There is nothing worse then the smell of a decomposing body. As another person stated, when someone dies they will evacuate everything in their bowels and bladder. So that smell adds to the smell of decay. \n\nWhen I used to do medical research on bodies, the smell was horrible, but it's because of the chemicals they use to preserve the body. There were some days it took everything in me not to have to leave the room. I learned that the best way around it is a little bit of vikks vapor rub under your nose.. you don't smell anything after that, and it leaves your lip nice and tingly!!

It's one of the facial muscles. It raises your upper lip and flares your nostrils. \n\nYahoo has Gray's Anatomy available online-- it's a good source for information like this and has some nice pictures.\n\nSome other good sources for info like this are Atlas of Human Anatomy by Frank Netter and Clinically Oriented Anatomy by Moore. If you want to see pictures of the real thing, try Color Atlas of Anatomy by Rohen. I'm not aware that these books are available online, but your local university library is sure to have them.

They are probably reffering to breath smelling like the sauce, "alcohol"

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.

It's probably a habit or reflex. Maybe it's a sign of nervousness. I think it's cool when they do it.

No it has nothing to do with tasting someone. It is a manner of expression like saying someone is cute.

offer them a mint everytime you see them and don't offer it to anyone else around. they will get the hint, believe me. I did this and the girl said, "does my breath stink or something" and i said yes, as a matter of fact it does. I never smelled it again.

they can't smell it.  just like people don't mind the smell of thier own poop or thier own farts.  I think its a defense mechanism built into our physiology to protect us from ourselves.  lol

Why have we retained it when we shed most of our body hair elsewhere? To help the sweat odour evaporate, and attract a suitable mate. No kidding.
