- dimatt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4hey baby, u smell fertile ;)
- butlershouse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4apparently Scientists have also discovered a Food type which when administered results in a womans complete lack of interest in sex for the rest of the relationship. its called : Wedding Cake.
much thanks to nasimmons for that one. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5If it smells like fish, its a dish.If it smells like cologne, shes hiding something so leave it alone.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm sorry, Im new to digg and dont know if this was once such a place with intelligent discussion that has become saturized with noobs. Ive been in communities where this has happened and am aware digg might be another one of those places, but the point that Ive joined it Ive found it hard to take it very seriously, hence my first post in this comment box was a "vagina joke". The articles get lots of diggs and comments very fast and reading through so many posts the way the layout is right now is really uncomfortable compared to, like you say, slashdot, and I dont see a well thought out post and argument paying off, especially when an article falls to the second page and is forgotten, along with your long post fading among the countless plus digg, no digg, ***** M$ posts...
- Robotsu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The lack of knowledge amongst Digg members/posts is something I find most disconcerting. I'm not trying to bash Digg, but seriuosly.. there has to be some way to just flat out reject or re-sort comments in some sort of slashdot-esque way. Take, for instance, layzie or benlevon, who obviously have not the slightest inclination as to what they are talking about. They refer to no butressing body of documents, articles, or anything else to support their claims. They make superbly ignorant remarks without even bother to ***** Google or double-check their claims.
And I, thinking I'm going to find an interesting and engaging discussion on the article read it all... and we are all more dumber because of it. God help us all. X_X - spinesplitter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i give up, im not using digg anymore.
this should be taken into consideration, you cant have stupid ignorant kids commenting along with older more literate people, IT DOESNT WORK.
people will be compelled to speak their ignorant minds and even more will be compelled to flame. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4smell has always played a role in getting a partner..
if you're a wild animal. The fact that you would say that leads one to assume you've never had a girlfriend. Maybe the girls run away from you because you're going up to them and sniffing them, maybe they find it a little weird. - valis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm guessing this is one of those "special" research projects. You know, how geeks meet women under the slightest pretense of science.
I mean, really. It doesn't take a scientist to figure *that* out. - huglmnstr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Old news, I believe there were several other studies done concerning scent and attractiveness(too lazy to look it up now). Applies to men also, as to whether or not a female will find him attractive. Has to do with finding a mate that will provide the best genes(virility/fertility). Physical attractiveness playing a part in it as well. If one believes in evolution, would only make sense that pheromones and scents would play a part in determining a human's sexual attractiveness.
- meangene, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well, I guess if we aren't animals then we are either:
A) A Vegetable
B) A Mineral
I'll take A; just call me mushroom. - phunlee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow. I had no idea there were still people ignorant of these issues. This is a "Science/Technology" website, right?
Wow. - sandrj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Now it figures why my boyfriend at times run away from me. Must be my scent. I could use a perfume during those times . Any suggestions ? ;)
- meangene, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The mushroom joke was a stab at the "we are not animals" deal. Now that I look back, it probably needed some more luvin' to get the humor quotient a little higher.
- absurdist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well, I guess if we aren't animals then we are either:
A) A Vegetable
B) A Mineral
Help, I'm a rock!!! - LinuxEvangelist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So I wonder if this will lead to "Man Repellant (tm)"
Dear Lord someone is going to be rich! - Mexrocker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"since when do people smell others to see how attractive they are???
these "scientists" are idiots"
smell has always played a role in getting a partner... havent you ever watched the discovery channel? - valis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes, we *are* animals. And you did not write "wild animals" although a lot of people are, anyway. Yes, my parents were attracted to each other by many features. Looks, hormones, pheromones, selection of perfumes (originally used to mask BO) and just plain opportunity. YOU need to think for a second. You haven't the slightest notion of what you are talking about. Scent (as in *smell*) is a *part* of the attraction.
Didn't you pay *any attention* in school? - chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well, I guess if we aren't animals then we are either:
A) A Vegetable
B) A Mineral
I'll take A; just call me mushroom.
Lmao meangene. I think I'm a mineral. - huglmnstr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1disposablerob
"Ever hear of bloating?"
--as a matter of fact not only have I heard of it, i've experienced it. i made that comment because billyboob made a comment about being able to tell when someone was "on the rag" based on odor cues & clothing. all women are not the same, some experience severe cramps while others don't feel a thing during their period. some may not experience very much bloating either. tampons need not be worn with a thick pad which makes them less noticeable underneath clothing. since a tampon is inside the person it also makes it less likely for there to be any odor. this is why i have made the comments i have.-- since this string has gone way off the topic of the article, i'm done. y'all have a good one. - gtg697w, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lol did Albertpacino set this up...lol can't be a coincidence...
- GreenSlabOfClay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Just smell her fingers.
Ooops...poked through the toilet paper eh?
Not ready for babies. - Robotsu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1layzie: You know, I pretty much agree with you exactly. I registered at Digg a while back, but only recently have I been visiting the site. It's not very condusive to in depth discussions, but maybe that's not what it is meant for. I guess you just figured this out before I did and went with the flow... perhaps I should do the same..?
- j0keR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Looks like it's time for Smell-O-Vision computer monitors. Should make my pr0n collection very interesting.
- Dugout, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well in terms of the animals being able to smell things? I have to agree that there is something to it. My Dog smells his ass! And then to other approaching dogs, then the dogs approaching smell his ass. then all is well. Point is? The dog can smell an ass and do someting before hand.
- petervz12, on 05/25/2009, -0/+0Pheromones work! Best cologne I have found is http://chikaracologne.com

http://www.coloncleanseadvice.com - spinesplitter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Im going to get over my lazyness and actually answer you this time because it annoys me to see another idiot trying to be mighty over the internet. I didnt answer your post correctly because it pains me to see another moron add insult after insult as if calling someone dumbass is more important than what we were actually arguing about.
Go back to the first posts, I said smell wasnt important, then I said it wasnt very important. You said it was important without getting into details about it. I said that smell was something very small, that it was a personality trait and not a determining factor, and then you gave your rebuttal by saying that your parents met by a number of factors, INCLUDING SMELL WHICH WAS VERY MINOR, thus saying exactly what I had said before. You're the one that took it personally when i said "come on people think." I was in no way flaming you. Now, YOU have a nice day."
STFU and give up, it matters a whole lot more than you acknowledge, hes not beign mighty you just really gotta drop it. BTW i can smell my girlfriend if she stands 3 feet behind me, not that she doesnt shower, its a very light scent, almost refreshing - you know like that of hormones. - zatrix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this was concluded by testing only 12 women?...isnt that not enough for a conclusion?
- vokiel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You call that science??????????? So what's your sample size? 12 Women ? 42 men ? out of how many possibilities?
What the heck? This smells like complete incompetence to me. - KevinKelly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Copulins are available from http://www.pherone.com
Some female friends of mine have tried them (the W-9 formula) and say that it really does make men more attracted to them.
For all I know, it may be working on me! - xtracto, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2@benlevon (0) :
Man, you must be from the USA... this is the level of culture you have now?, for your information we Humans ARE animals, and we are nothing but a different species called ***** Sapiens.
Please, take 20 minutes of your time and read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_sapiens
Also, it has been proved that animals use some kind of chemical mixtures to transmit messages to others of their same species. These chemicals are called Pheromones. Please read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheromone
"Nevertheless, a few well-controlled scientific studies have been published demonstrating the possibility of pheromones in humans. The best-studied case involves the synchronization of menstrual cycles among women based on unconscious odor cues (by Martha McClintock, Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago). This study states that there are two types of pheromone involved: "One, produced prior to ovulation, shortens the ovarian cycle, and the second, produced just at ovulation, lengthens the cycle". Other studies have suggested that people might be using odor cues associated with the immune system to select mates who are not closely related to themselves." - amitrix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hmm..the sample size of this study seems pretty small so therefore, hardly generalizable..but still, i read about some other studies in my Close Relationship Psych class and had similar viewpoints...i wonder if the odor thing works vicer versa..meaning whether girls are attracted to guys' odor...and if yes then when???? coz guys dont have a menstrual cycle..lol
- Angel00, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sigh, what the scientists are actually referring to is hormonal attraction. What the scientists are saying is when a woman is fertile she will emit pheromones that will attract men to her but she will also be attracted to the pheromones released in the greatest amount (guys who are the strongest and have the most testosterone - the sign of manliness in nature (testosterone is higher in guys with more muscle tissue (lean or bulky doesn't matter))).
And perhaps BO has something to do with repelling guys and attracting them as pheromones are secreted via the sweat glands. Though, I don't think someone is going to be smelling armpits to see if the person they are interested in is a suitable mate...
An interesting site explaining the effects of pheromones in humans and how they work: http://www.anapsid.org/pheromones.html - rokaholic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I completely agree with Robotsu. There needs to be a more solid rating system for comments, or at least people need to be encouraged or motivated somehow to use the existing one. In some ways I prefer digg to slashdot, but on digg when it comes to comments, there's no way to filter out all the n00bie trash. Slashdot at least has a comments rating system that is properly used and therefore I can actually _enjoy_ reading an entertaining dialog, filtering through the comments.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Did anyone actually read this??? LOL
How much did the test subjects get paid to sit around and smell armpit pads... good stuff - Anticitizen1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dan, get a job.
- jaxun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Someone needs to post a followup highlighting the top 10 pickup lines associated with the findings from this study. I'll get the ball rolling:
"Hey luv. You don't stink, so I'm thinkin' maybe you wanna f**k?" - manvsmonster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Not really an interesting article to me. Plus, I guess I'm just in a mood where reading about womens arm pits being smelt by anonymous men made me sick.
- DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@huglmnstr
"do women wearing tampons also wear loose fitting pants?"
Ever hear of bloating? - matsiescruff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this is an interesting read...i'm not sure if i want guys coming up to me and sniffing me, but if my scent is strong enough that they smell me from a distance, then ew.
pharamones can be smelled from a distance, though. - Nocturnal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'd have hated to be one of those men who tested the scents of all them womens. LOL. Digg!
- pgm_01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Humans existed before we invented perfume and deodorant, of course we have some attraction/repulsion based on scent. However, humans are very visual animals thus attraction is based more on sight than smell or sound but the brain is still taking in all of the information and processing it, even if it is not conscious to you.
- Jolene, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've never once been commented on my armpit odour...But all the better to be lazy and not use deodorant I guess?
- hope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0who would vollenteer for that job? smelling those? gross.
- multifaceted, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is old 'news.'
- SisterEye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This post is "tres bizarre." Some of you guys desperately need to grow up.
It's been my experience that there really is no odor a female can emit that can repel a horny and determined male.
Studies like these are mildly entertaining in that "in-the-interest-of-science" way but they're also ultimately pointless. Dude, humans are (somewhat) more evolved these days. We have the power to think and reason now. Why would we want to go back to the equivalent of but sniffing?
I for one will keep my "Secret" and all the boys guessing. Oh, and just in case you forgot - girlz rule! - foohookups311, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dont you wish sometimes that things were like the animal kingdom and I could just go up to a girl sniff her and then you know..... hahaha
- neondiet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0
Seems like a strange paradox to me that many women I've met seem to be at their most horny around period time, and yet, according to this article their bodies are secretly transmitting get-the-hell-away-from-me signals. I think these "scientists" are missing something.
