Pheromones?

Now here's an observation that may have some relevance

You know that smell you detect in old peoples homes? Well I started to percieve it in the bedroom and though it did not put me off I recognised it for what it was. After serious problems with menopaus and a bit of nagging from me, HRT was presecribed. The problem wit HRT is that it can take several formulations/methods to find the one that does the job (I know of 4). After 3 a halt was called. My nerves where frazzled as well, but, here's the nub of the story that "old" smell was gone. For other reasons so was I soon after. - I am in no doubt that some men would add that into the subconscious list of dislikes.

AND as for proof of pheromones wot men can't consciously detect - consider the study reported in New Scientist. Uni students frequenting disco/night clubs kept diaries and were photographed. The amount of bare flesh at or near ovulation (statistical average) was higher by more than enough to leave the scientists asking the pheromone question and little else.

"Oh not again!" is not, I submit, a fairer moan ........
I'll get my bathrobe.....
