It's not hard to tell when a guy is "happy to see you."
The twinkle in his eye, his swagger, that sexy smile all are clear signs he's in the mood.
And, at least subconsciously, a woman can also tell by the scent of his sweat, according to new research.
Scientists have long debated whether humans, like animals, use chemical signals called pheromones to communicate sexual interest to potential mates.
Problem is, the effects of pheromones are thought to be subconscious meaning that if we do communicate using them, we sure don't know it.
It's also hard to know what these pheromones might be and how we sense them, so researchers understand little about them.

Then they told the men to put small pads in their armpits as they watched pornographic videos and became aroused. (The researchers confirmed, using electrodes, that the images did the job.) Later, the guys were asked to exchange those pads for fresh pads to collect the sweat they produced when they weren't aroused. Then the researchers recruited 19 brave women to smell the men's pads while undergoing brain scans.

Why not just ask him “Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just glad to see me”?

and I suppose the drunk guy at 10 minutes to closing time, approaching a woman and saying, “wanna go back to my place and scr*w” has nothing to do with it???

LMAO, terrific! My only criticism: the women knobs are arranged so orderly; they should be on the top and on all sides.

That’s the good news. The bad news is, they smell that way ALL of the time. ;)

It's also hard to know what these pheromones might be and how we sense them, so researchers understand little about them. Recent thread on how vestigial organs demonstrate the correctness of the Theory of Evolution detailed the fact that we have an organ to detect pheromones, but we don't use it.
I suspect the reality is that we just don't understand it.
