My poop smells better than yours

Have there been any studies to indicate why my farts and poops smell like roses to me yet smell horrible to everyone else, and vice versa?

We hate the smell because of hydrogen sulfide gas which is lethal in high amounts. I know that much.
Presumably someone who had the same response to their own... excretions would not pass on their genes because they would avoid doing those things leading to a deterioration of health over time. Somehow our brains make the connection that its from us therefore it won't kill us which helps us maintain a healthy response.

Bias!
Go and smell a real rose and do a double blind test!
You'll be surprised!

I've heard of a srudy indicating that parents rate the smell of their children's diapers as less irritating than those of other kids.

He he... I bet the same study also says that their children are beautiful!
I'm sure yours is Alex!
