I recently read an article about chemistry and dating that included the following points:
1. "Women want to date men who smell like their fathers." I really don't recall my dad having any particular scent (except for the occasional Old Spice aftershave...which really just triggers the "old man smell" flashback). He used to smell like cigarettes (which doesn't appeal to me in the least) and sometimes a bit grubby (which also doesn't appeal to me); however, I do have vivid memories of every one of his t-shirts having banana goo stains on them. Does that count?
2. "Being on hormonal birth control can change a woman's taste in men." Apparently the hormone in pills can lead you to choose men with more pronounced masculine features (uh.....WTH does that mean? Hairier backs? Arnold Schwarzenegger jaws? They can't possibly be intending to head down to the nether region with that comment...can they?) and manly traits are linked to high testosterone levels (aggressive behavior, higher divorce rates). BUT then in the next paragraph they say:
Look for someone whose hand features a long fourth finger (a ring finger that is longer than the index finger). This supposedly indicates a higher testosterone level in the womb and will correlate to a man who tends to be logical, decisive, and ambitious. Hmmmmmmm........both my ring fingers are longer than my index fingers...what does THAT mean? I'm certainly not very logical, decisive, or ambitious and I really hope that I don't exhibit any masculine physical traits.....
3. "Adrenaline helps you bond with your date quickly." So why is it when you sleep with someone on the first date (a MAJOR adrenaline rush), it tends to destroy any potential bond?
