Do girl’s have a stronger sense of smell than guys do?

It seems guys can tolerate smell more than Girls’s do , if something smells bad she takes it to extreme more than a guy would , why is that? LOL

Generally, yes. The reason should be obvious enough; our sense of smell isn't strong enough to track food by, unless it's been cooked, so there wasn't much point in having men who were out hunting put resources into it. Women, on the other hand, would often find themselves in the position of foraging for plants that might look very similar, and even SMELL similar, and the only way to know "tasty and healthful" from "horribly lethal" was by scent. Likewise, if something spoiled, you REALLY needed to know immediately; not only was attracting vermin FAR more of an issue, but food poisoning was very often a death sentence.

I sometimes wonder. I don't know how many times a girlfriend has put her feet on my lap as we relaxed on the couch and the smell of stinky feet was pretty strong! Lol... For some reason, they were never able to smell it. Even when they would put their foot right up to their nose, the most I've gotten was, "common! They don't smell that bad"! Same as those plug in air fresheners. They would have them set so strong my eyes would water but they said they could barely smell them.
