scent of a Man: Women Can Sniff Out a Hot Guy

Women at their peak fertility prefer the smell of men oozing with testosterone, a new study finds.
Ovulation has been shown to impact a woman's mating preferences. For instance, women in the fertile phase of their menstrual cycle favor more masculine traits, such as a deep voice or manly face, characteristics associated with the hormone testosterone, studies have found. Other research suggests fertile women are attracted to men with high levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which may be involved in stronger immune systems.
In the new study, researchers tested how women's sexual scent preferences changed depending on men's levels of testosterone and cortisol. Male volunteers were given T-shirts to wear for two consecutive nights, during which time they were prohibited from using scented soaps or detergents; drinking or smoking; or eating garlic, onion, green chiles, strong cheeses and other pungent foods.

Then, female volunteers sniffed the men's shirts and rated the pleasantness, sexiness and intensity of the smells (on scales from 1 to 10). The women also completed a questionnaire about their stage in their menstrual cycles and whether they were using hormonal contraception.
The researchers took saliva samples from the men to measure hormone levels of testosterone and cortisol.
Women who were at the most fertile stage of their menstrual cycles preferred the smell of men with higher testosterone, rating these "manly" shirts as the most pleasant and sexiest, results showed. The women showed no preference for the smells of men with higher cortisol levels. Without taking the women's fertility into account, neither hormone had an influence on how attractive the men smelled.
The link found between testosterone and smell attractiveness contrasts with the findings of a previous study. That study sampled a smaller group of subjects (19 men versus the current study's 46 men), which could weaken the significance of the findings. However, that study tested for testosterone three times throughout the day, making it more sensitive to the hormone's frequent fluctuations.
"This is a controversial research area. Studies are highly inconsistent," psychologist Wendy Wood of the University of Southern California, who was not involved in the study, told LiveScience in an email. "Only a few studies have shown that women’s menstrual cycles influence their mate preferences — many more find no effects of menstrual cycles on preferences," Wood added.
The chemical androstenol contributes to the musky smell of body odor. Men produce much more of this chemical than women, and testosterone levels may be linked to production of these molecules, the researchers suggest. If so, the women in the study may be responding to these subtle odor cues.
If the findings can be replicated, scientists could try to identify these odor molecules, and then figure out how they influence human scent preferences.
Whether these chemicals are signals of masculine qualities, or just a byproduct of them, remains unclear.

And apparently male cheaters are a) having a deep voice b) work out in a gym and c) play contact sports.

lol
 
Forget about stupid t-shirts lol. If we are sweating out androstenol, then I'm pretty sure we're pissing, shitting and farting them out as well. So why aren't women clamouring to inhale our musky farts, slathering themselves with our manly shit and gargling our sexy piss? I like to see a study on that please.
 
Grunta doesn't play contact sports AFAIK?

The masturbation... It is a self-contact sport I am proficient in also :cool:

... So chicks can 'smell' a mate huh?

When I get really sweaty at the gym, my arse aroma tends to fill the vicinity within which I am working out.

Not sure the hot pt who works there may approve of arse-sweat and an insufficiently wiped rectum ;)

Bahahahahah... Pretty sure you just described 95% of German porn right there bro! :D
 
haha, my signature gym move is doing a troy buswell on the bench after a sexy gym bunny is done with it, what kind of porn is THAT?
 
Lol... Told the Mrs. that a dude I used to work with was seriously contemplating sniffing the toilet seats at our work after a bunch of Hot models come in one day back in NZ (promo chicks giving away free beer around Xmas one year on our street)

I have never seen a woman give such a disgusted reaction in my life... lol. priceless.

You'd think they'd take it as a compliment... of some kind.
 
I may or may not do the same but at least I disguise it as doing some kind of supported row...mounting the bench backwards of course ;)
 
I did this research over the years, real life situations, not over 2 days and using t-shirts.
Research showed BO or smelly t-shirt is not the way to pull them, they love good cologne smell, not sweat. These kunce are full of shit wasting taxpayers money.

And [MENTION=17161]White_Lie[/MENTION] ; btw, I find the branding cheater quite.....................vulgar.

Are you saying your misses doesn't do that?
 
What type of woman were tested, eastern or western? Perhaps culture and upbringing has an influence on what women from different parts of the world find attractive or not in a man. By that I mean different cultured woman may look for different traits in a man based on differing priorities between them.
