    Yes, the sweat keeps you cool and the smell attracts others with different immune system.

        You’re a girl I imagine? I feel like girls are more likely to experience this than dudes. Anecdotal of course

      Can you develop the part where the smell attracts people?

          I want to ask for help to deal with the cognitive dissonance I am experiencing. This information is proof that I (if this study applies to me) will discriminate people based on something they cannot control… which is wrong, correct?

        One (old) piece of advice I heard.

        Your pocket handkerchief. Rub it on your balls. Then put it back in your breast pocket.

        You will get more attention from the girls.

        Pheromones are real and powerful.
