If you have ever danced with someone who is not "yours" you will know exactly what this means.

Anyway, it all came down to the basic animal instinct - fortunately we don't have to go around smelling people's rear ends to know if we were meant to be together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! I saw that program about huffing t-shirts. The research showed that men with a similar immune profile were not as attractive as those with a different immune system from the female.
