Open Question: I am 100% convinced I can smell women's pheromones. How common is this?

The reason for this post is not to get people who dont understand (or not experienced this) to post... but, hopefully for the people who have experienced this and know exactly what I'm talking about. Or, possibly they know of someone or a spouse.I have had an armpit and foot "fetish" for as long as I can remember. I'm calling them a "fetish" for lack of better word for it. Every single girlfriend I had, I asked them not to use deodorant (at least on weekends or vacations. I can't stand artificial smell like perfumes/deodorants on women. Interestingly, I noticed that, dense, thick stubble under the arms can significantly intensify this sexual arousal with the right lady. Most of my girlfriends didnt mind doing this for me during the winter; shaving their underarms only once every 1-2 weeks.. I have the same inexplicable affinity for some women's feet IF they have been on their feet working all day wearing pantyhose or thin socks. Without the natural smell, the stubbly underarm or pantyhose foot doesnt have much of an affect.This aroma can get me instantly aroused with the right lady. It's important to note that my own smell or other male underarm / feet smell is EXTREMELY REPULSIVE to me.I'm guessing that most men/women can only distinguish this smell as just bad "body odor".. nothing more, nothing less; and, the very least is repulsive to them.This is just pure speculation... but, the only thing that makes perfect sense. I'm sure it will raise a few eyebrows too. I'm guessing millions of years ago when man was still evolving, our sense of smell still played a significant role in determining a suitable mate. Over the course of evolution, some genes became non-functional/dormant almost being non-existant... such as the gene to grow our talebones. There's a very small percentage of people who's genes slipped through the cracks; and, hence, some isolated cases of people who have an actual tiny tale. I have seen some blurbs here and there (even on yahoo answers) that some men mention they have a women's armpit fetish... especially with stubbles and love the smell. They dont know why they love it, they just do. Due to the very specific/unique criteria (stubbles, smell, underarm) and foot fetish (and the smell from women sweating when wearing pantyhose/socks in shoes all day)... its hard not to consider there's more to it than just a fetish... its a physiological phenomenon apparently not well documented in the scientific community.
