Over the last 20 years or so of being single again I must have read about 50 books on this topic and own at least 20. It is all very complex. What I have found is that in my life whenever I run into old girlfriends or a woman I had a crush on in the past (especially if she gives me a hug - translation - we each inhale the other's pheromones), I feel the identical feelings I felt even 50 year ago and I sense they do, too. This I find quite remarkable. Although attraction exists in each case, it is a bit different in each case. I cannot explain it but I feel it.
This article references the interesting sweaty T Shirt study mentioned above. Major histocompatibility complex genes, symmetry, and body scent attractiveness in men and women |
what you said Man, is the closest to what it means to me. Now what kind of system is that? You smell right....?
this could explain my entire history of relationships.
That said, my cat loves to sniff my armpit or anybody's shoes and my dog wants us to breathe noses together. There must be something to it.
