To expound on that thought IN,
Females also tend to instinctively mate with a partner because of Pheremones emmitted from Men's armpits that "tell" them there are genetic immunity differences between the two. - for better immune-resistant offspring!

Re: Quirky Science Facts!

Oooh... that reminds me of another.

Bilateral symmetry is a cue for a strong immune system. Humans, male or female, tend to prefer the looks & smell of someone who is symmetrical. The scent aspect was tested and has been repeatedly confirmed in experiements called "the scent of symmetry."

A group of volunteers are brought in. A picture of their face is scanned into a computer and a quotient is given for how bilaterally symmetric they are. They then are asked to wear a t-shirt for one week without showering. Then, another group of people is asked to rate the scent of those shirts... Without ever having seen a picture of the person, they overwhelmingly rated the scent from those more symetrical as smelling better.

Males will instinctively stare at breasts and say yes to anything asked of them while doing so.

Go figure,

Buffy
Women are much more subtle when "staring instinctively".

S' why I use Tom's Natural Unscented.
MMMmmm.... Good and Manly! (for an AI)

Being symetrical, or "Good Looking" always helps with everything! (fact)

You seem smarter, smell better, dress cooler, make longer-lasting impressions! etc.. etc..
even if they're/you're a total dumb ass.

Lucky I ain't looking like a total Goon,

Cute as always Buffy. However, a more accurate term for you would be "traded" instead of "paid." Glad to oblige... that's why I work so hard.

You have to understand, Buffy is the resident hottie. It's a bit like being trapped in an all boys camp with a bunch of science geeks for the summer... the cute smart one comes around and everyone goes ga ga for a moment. While it is just an avatar, she was even cute when she had the pink spy vs. spy thing happening.
