  Right. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_odour_and_sexual_attraction https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_odour_and_sexual_attrac... Fun fact: truffles..the most expensive fungi in the world..is often sniffed out by male pigs because it smells like female pigs in heat. The French have trained dogs to sniff out The elusive and rare and expensive truffles because the damn pigs will scarf down thousands of dollars worth of truffles(1200-1500 quid/kg for black truffles and upwards of $4000/kg for Italian white alba truffles)once they dig them out. The most expensive fungus in the world makes pig horny. Food for thought. Just sayin’ When I was in London, I ate at McDonalds for a month so I can buy a little knob of alba truffle to shave over a bowl of buttered noodles. And.It.Was.Worth.It.

> I’d wager that those who shower often get laid less. A really interesting wager. I'd take you up on it if I could. There has been a big trend over the last 10-20 years to add stronger artificial scents to cleaning products. People couldn't tell much difference between how well a product cleaned so manufacturers found that smell also played a vital role in our perception of cleanliness. Since shower gels and soaps clearly overpower natural pheromones, in a side by side mate picking, I'd wager the one wearing the most fragrant scent would get laid more.

  Anyone who has had an intact pet dog or cat know that they can smell a potential mate in heat from miles away. How? Smell. Even silk moths will find mates because of smell. Insects do it..birds and dogs and cats do it. The human being is just another ape.
