The term is proxemics, researched it a bit for my dissertation.

It depends, if they smell there should be a wall between me and them, or at least a pane of glass or something.

Otherwise, I was going to say I was pretty tolerant, but I'm not sure I am...

When I was working in the city I used to catch the tube home and in the summer it was pretty bad. My solution was to catch the train in the opposite direction for three stops before doubling back and getting a seat so no need to stand up near anyone. After one particularly bad summer I opted to cycle to work. Much faster and grabbed a shower at work. 8-)

The only time I'm funny about it is when people lean right into your face and, oddly, waiting to cross the road (the further away the better) :?

No she's not.

I don't find her attractive but she's definitely not ugly

That's a very flattering angle - others aren't quite so kind.
I wouldn't say no though. As I think I've made clear.

Rule 1?

I refer the Honourable Gentleman to the comment I made some time ago:
