Are ‘Pheromone Parties’ New Trend in Biological Matchmaking?

First impressions often include nice eyes, a great laugh or a beautiful smile, but a relatively new dating technique could eliminate all physical and personality snap judgements and pair partners based on smell preferences.

It’s called a Pheromone Party. Participants are asked to wear the same shirt to bed — sans deodorant or perfume — for three nights. The shirts are placed in their own bag, then passed around at a party were the guests choose their date by most the attractive smell. If we’re basing this solely on pheromones though, the smell itself shouldn’t really make too much of a difference on preference and what participants would really be attracted to more subconsciously is a chemical being inhaled.

Do these pants make me smell too big?

[jiggyboy]

Whoa, for a second I thought that said “skirt”.

Par-TAY!

One could quickly identify the liberals...

Pheromone Party = Occupy Wall Street

Pheromones are nothing to sniff at.

If I don’t like the way somebody smells, am I a racist?

For it to be halfway reliable you’d have to make sure the ladies weren’t using hormonal contraceptives.

Clearly we need to get a read on this from our resident expert.

Some say he has a detatchable penis and has an irrational fear of latex.

We don't know, we only know that they call him "The Laz"

[Jack Hydrazine]

Combine this with cuddle parties and Tupperware parties and you’ll have a very popular fad! LOL!

New meaning to “passing the smell test”

Aw, damn... did I miss the Top Gear season opener?

It won’t work if the woman is on the pill because it interferes with her pheromones and also keeps her from smelling them also.It’s been said that it could be a huge contributed to the divorce rates because once she is off the pill and trying for a family all of a sudden she may find she is married to someone once the pheromones return that is not right for her.

Yeah it was a two hour special of a trip across India.

ROFL

Beer, brats, sauerkraut, and baked beans for 3 nights should get you alot of attention at one of those......

[MikeSteelBe]

“Beer, brats, sauerkraut, and baked beans...”

Dad’s recipe was an order of greasy onion rings and a hard boiled egg washed down with a quart of Miller.

[Nobama_ever]

It’s amazing, the nonsense that some people post.

Where the hell did you come up with that?!

[Gay State Conservative]

My shirt would smell like Irish Spring.

Pheromone Party = Occupy Wall Street

I paid a brief visit to Occupy in Manhattan last October.Your comment must be the explanation for why I didn't find a *single* one of the participants to be the slightest bit "intriguing".

Heads up if you’re on line.

The replay of last night’s season premiere is just starting on BBC America (6 PM eastern)
