Researchers Claim Pheromones Trigger Brain Cell Growth

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is reporting that pheromones could enable the growth of new brain cells. "Pheromone signals from dominant males spark new brain cells in their female partners and could help repair injured brains, suggests a new study by a University of Calgary neuroscientist. Sam Weiss's findings, in the July issue of the journal Nature Neuroscience, provide evidence that pheromones -- subtle chemical signatures that influence mating behavior -- can control stem cells in the brain."

You may jest, but if you want to get a woman, DON'T take a shower before heading out for the night. You don't want to be totally stinky either, but you'll have much better "luck" if you're not exactly just-washed-fresh. Seriously. It's silly, and you yourself may think you smell faintly of decomposing celery, but women give you far more positive attention if the last time you had a shower was about 24 hours ago (obviously people are different, 24 hours seems to be what works for me).
