Fellas, I hate to disappoint, says Esme Gordon Craig, but skipping a shower will not make you irresistible to women – no matter what the internet tells you
It would stand to reason that different men emit differently balanced pheromones. Why would they all be the same?
My personal combination is attractive to her specifically. It’s possible she would find some other men’s sweat attractive as well, but I haven’t asked.
There is no scientific evidence to support that humans emit any pheromones, let alone a multitude of pheromones. Even if we did, we do not possess the vomeronasal organ that other animals have that allows them to detect them.
It looks like the receptor of pheromones is present, but doesn’t work. From [wiki]:
Among studies that use microanatomical methods, there is no reported evidence that human beings have active sensory neurons like those in working vomeronasal systems of other animals. Furthermore, there is no evidence to date that suggests there are nerve and axon connections between any existing sensory receptor cells that may be in the adult human VNO and the brain. Likewise, there is no evidence for any accessory olfactory bulb in adult human beings, and the key genes involved in VNO function in other mammals have pseudogenized in human beings.
Nah, the key word is “my”. If she was actually sensitive to pheromones she would be attracted to the smell of all sweating men.
I am certainly attracted to the smell of sweaty (clean) women, and even myself since transitioning. Women sweat is like ooof.
You can like a smell without pheromones being involved, more than likely it’s just associative.
