>>> I gathered he was trying to send out a warning about internet relationships in general without meeting the person first as you usually would, as well as trying to start a discussion on whether being ill ..as in hormonally unbalanced or taking prescription meds (like pdrugs) could alter one's pheromones so that one could become unattractive to the opposite partner by not producing our usual pheromones.
He seemed to place a lot of importance on smell as something that attracts in a relationship.
What do you think of this idea? I know personally some people don't smell real good to me <g>..
> <<Great. Somethin else to worry about. :-) Actually, I put a lot of weight in pheromones or whatever that chemical attraction thing is. I don't have a physical *type* of guy and find most men attractive and personality is what puts it over the top for me. But I do think there's a scent issue going on there for me. I'd hate to think my meds are making me ugly, though! :-)

> SusanHi Susan, I remember some experiment where they got the blokes to wear the same t-shirts and mixed them up and got their partners to sniff them,..and all (I think) corectly selected their partners from the pile independantly..
Joking, of course, but it makes me think perhaps we should ask for samples of old worn t-shirts, lol.I don't know about illness or meds changing one's scent...no one seemed to know that I could see.
Perhaps it may only occur when one is very sick...or way off.Jan
