Male Sweat Makes Women Happy

guacamolefoo writes "CNN reports a study by the University of Pennsylvania that involved applying to the upper lips of women a solution containing underarm sweat from men who had not used deodorant in four weeks. It apparently elevated their moods and increased their fertility. Use this knowledge at your own risk."

    You're dating the wrong women. Most of the girls I know actually like swallowing cum. Maybe you don't like girls who like to swallow. Hae you considered that?

    I wish they had a more complete pointer to the study, it sounds deeply flawed, like they're just trolling for an interesting sound bite.
    Where's the comparison with women's sweat, dog's sweat, floor wax, nothing? I don't here any mention of a control group, etc. I bet sitting most women down in a sterile environment for 10 minutes would elevate their moods without smearing anything on there noses.

    This strike me as a very weak experiment, scientifically, with more vague and ill-formed conclusions drawn from there because it deals with sex.

    I hope the actual study proves me wrong, but it sound like overblown crap to me, and if it is, the "researchers" should never be given public money again.

    They're being nice to you. I remember coming back after being out in the field (with my Uncle Sam) for a month or so. Several of us had gotten clean -- green scrub pads work good for that deep down dirt -- and were going out to eat. Another guy hadn't had anyone pick him up so we took him to his place. He stank soooo bad. We had to roll all the windows down and open the sunroof and could still barely stand it. And in early Colorado springtime, that can be rough...

    You are also prolly mistaking the fact that you tune your own smells out, and any that you are constantly exposed to also. You just get desensitized.
