    Gotta ask

    So this isn't the first time I have seen something like this, http://www.pheroline.com/index.php , pretty much a 'scent' that attracts women. A friend and I got into a convo about how that can't be real / work. I just wanna know if anyone here has tried it before so I can either prove him wrong saying it doesn't work, or I can be wrong if it does work. Also for the ladies, What cologne do you all like the most? Just out of curiosity.

    most of what they say about pheromones is true, though its not going to turn beetlejuice into brad pitt.

    If that shit actually worked, it would cost hundereds of dollars and men would still buy it.



    it's bullshit, humans rely much more on visual attraction than other animals, and rodent studies are where most of the pheromone stuff is derived from. Smell is very secondary, by a longshot. Have a girl pick your cologne or whatever for ya, but don't look for it to help you get laid.

    Humans do release pheromones, but they don't smell good to most humans, i.e. that nasty funk they call body odor.

    I don't think it's even that, some mammals (mostly rodents) have an organ called a vomeronasal organ that is not a nose and detects pheromones. Reptiles have them too, but not humans. We emit smells, sure, but they don't influence the psycological behavoir of those around us....unless your farts cause people to leave the room. In mice, you can remove the vomeronasal organ and female mice will behave sexually masculine, exhibiting male sexual characteristics (they'll hump female mice from behind). If you removed a human's sense of smell, no such thing occurs. Pheromones don't work on humans, we don't emit them, if you wanna seem attractive to rodents, then buy some pheromones, if you wanna hook up with human women, go to the gym and work out.

    I rock whatever my girlfriend buys me, she digs davidoff cool water. Funny enough she also likes some of those axe sprays. But yeah best bet is to let a girl pick the cologne, they know what they like.

    Looks like it's bullshit, but whatever rocks your boat...remember, people will write whatever they need to make you buy their product. I bet those testimonials are fake too.

    Fixed.

    And agreed.

    Though as far as I know humans do detect and respond to pheromones on a very, very subtle level.

    Aren't pheromones what cause women who live together to sync up their menstrual cycles?

    The point is pheromones don't have a large influence on us at all, certainly not enough to make a girl sleep with you who otherwise wouldn't.

    And cologne is disgusting, especially axe.

    People who will never see a vagina in their lives, the same people who keep that "Fleshlight" thing in business.

    Then again, nothing is really authentic to them I suppose since anything you give them could smell "just like the real thing" haha.

    "Omg vagina smells just like sugar water!"
