    I also know one guy that triggers the active repel in most of my female friends. The men don't understand it and don't see it, but all the girls think the same. There really is no obvious reason and I'm sure his wife is unaware.

    i have that, but it works on men as well.

    In absolute terms I'm guessing not so much though when compared to an elephant, a baboon, a badger or indeed LIR.

    well it is a ratio... if a fruit fly was the same size as LIR it would be able to beat up the elephant, baboon and badger* all at the same time. (there is no evidence for this but it is a scientific fact, etc).


    * = unless it was a honey badger.

    Big lir has same strength ( not same stregnth ratio) as small fruit fly. Hope that helps
