What makes nearly all Indian food smell like spicy tar?

Serious question. Too much of something awful in a lot of those dishes.

While house shopping years ago we walked in this beautiful home and the smell of curry would knock you over.
I just turned around and walked out

You're crazy. Indian food is amazing. Though if you're in Louisiana, you've probably never had good Indian. The restaurants in Nola were bland as hell, especially Nirvana.
And the smell is amazing. I was a very picky eater growing up. But I had a couple close friends that were Indian. Their aunts and cousins were doctors and would stay with them while establishing their residency in America.
I remember staying out all night and crashing at their house. When I woke up and went downstairs, it smelt like heaven. They showed me the food cooking, and it looked gross. Like something I'd never eat. But I knew something that smelled so good, couldn't taste bad. Eating Indian food completely changed my eating habits.

I don't care for it either. Maybe I have had bad examples, but I am reluctant to order it anymore.

Indian restaurants in BTR/NO are inconsistent and can be hit or miss if you don't know what to eat from the myriad of options. Best to try some home cooked indian food with an Indian buddy first or have someone who is knowledgeable bout cuisine to have with you when you go out to eat indian.
It is one of the best cuisines out there but yes it may not be for everyone.

On every occasion that I have had Indian food, I hated it.

Try the butter chicken with some garlic naan.

Whilst wandering and shopping in Sam's Club, the Indian (dot) wimmens carry quite a unique schmelly aura around with them.

Well, first I thought you were talking about curry. But I doubt you would have described it that way if you had tasted any Indian, Pakistani, or Afghan - which is fricking delicious.
Then, I realized you have no idea what you're talking about, but you are talking about curry, anyway.
ETA: Okay - so I charged in without reading the thread. I get what you're saying that sometimes they overdo it - well, they do that in some Cajun and Creole restaurants, too. I don't like it if the main spice is overdone either.
So, agree and disagree with your "spicy tar" characterization. There is nothing wrong with not liking something.

I'm with you, and I've had authentic homecooked stuff. It's horrendous.
