I've been wondering the same things about what is it really that turns women on about guys. If I knew I'd be a love guru. What is becoming apparent to me is that the problem is not that I am not attractive or a nice guy or muscular enough. For a long time I thought maybe I wasn't good looking enough or sweet enough. I am realizing that this is not really about me. Some quite attractive women seem charmed by me and a couple have told me frankly that my sensitivity, kindness and appearance (average by my opinion) made me very attractive and they were as bewildered as I was about my wife not thinking I was an incredible stud. I'm thinking that maybe some chemistries just don't mix right, in other words maybe our phermones are working in one direction; our wives are attracting us but we're not attracting them. How else do you explain the overwhelmingly irrational attraction to someone that rejects you constantly?
Just some thoughts, I could be wrong...

I also wanted to mention a phermone that I've just began using in cologne (maybe what that old guy your wife was lusting after was wearing) check out www.athenainstatute.com
So far I haven't been able to measure any results from my wife, but strangely it seems that other women in general are just a bit nicer to me. This stuff was recommended by a friend's wife's gynocologist. Worth checking out. I'd like to compare notes with another guy that is using it.
