Reply To: Shidduchim: Why is everybody lying and is it ok?

Lia – As I’m in the medical field, I can pick up on those things, the avg. person cannot. They wear suits freshly cleaned -the odor is dulled by the cleaning smell. They use mouthwash and strong deoderant to mask the smell on themselves. Unless you are keen, it’s hard to pick up. One of the signs we look for -for alcholics is the green-mouthwash smell. They hide the alcohol smell with that. Smokers are more honest with med prof. I guess because there is no Detox areas in the hospital or psych wards for smokers as opposed to where we can put alcoholics.
