Birth control makes you choose the "wrong" mate

Research shows that birth control is fucking with the way we perceive the scent of future partners...

37 vs 60 is a rather small sample size... i mean, its interesting info, but it needs more testing and with more people before i totally believe it

 

hmmm, I wonder if KC was on the pill when we met. I guess she was. Maybe thats why she was dating those other clowns when I met her.

 

I know, the study isn't that great but it makes sense to me! I really think birth control fucks with our bodies, minds and the choices we make a lot more then doctors tell us! Ive been off of it for 3 months after being on it since i was 15ish and it's crazy how terrible the withdrawls are!!!

 

No birth control for me and we're going on 13 years...

 

me too.

 

what's mroe, the first thing i noticed about dave was his smell, not of cologne. but heaven.

 

nope. i was the condom queen until i met you. then i got irrationally risky. :cheers2:

 

well i met my boy when i wasnt on it so im not worried

 

I personally agree. Taking an artificial hormone cannot be good. I have taken a pill before and HATED it. I much rather enjoy being my "natural" self. I also am a believer in deoderant and perfumes covering up pheromones and leading to the wrong partner choice. I mean we are a society obsessed w/ covering up our natural odor and shaving off any body hair, no wonder why our divorce rate is so high.. LOL

 

Heh, well that does make a lot of sense....

 

Im on it and I dont feel weird. Never have.

 

i think of course it changes the way we smell. deodorants and meat eating and other things fuck with the way we smell too. it all is a hormonal change thing.

when i quit using deodorant, it was almost 6 months before i had a distinct "my smell." how shitty is that? that deodorant use fucks up the blood stream/hormone levels/skin of your body so much it takes 6 months to recover!!!

and meat eaters (especially those who don't eat hormone/antibiotic free meat) all smell like vinegar, regardless of their other pheremones.

the only way i can really smell a person's true pheremones is if they are veggie/vegan and don't use chemical deodorants or soaps or perfumes. otherwise everything smells stinky to me.

 

i was veg for a few years. i ended up smelling all wrong and my hair started falling out. i'm still pretty darned light on the meat, but no one will ever convince me that being veg is the only natural way. i think human beings are rather like bears in our diets. some are entirely vegetarian, some are entirely carnivorous. it depends on where they're from. when you figure how people adapt to their surroundings over an extended period of time. the ones who genetically fit the diet of the region do better than those who don't.

 

people who eat vegan would also smell according to their food choices. and probably be even more affected by their food seeings as they would eat more of the same stuff. if anything a balanced and random diet would be the the least intrusive on your smell. personally i find most vegan/veggie eaters stink. all that plant fermentation. reeks

 

You can't believe everything you read unless you want to...

 

Youre so smart...:cheers2:

 

well, unless someone is eating a diet that consists of food that in no way affects your secretions, which precludes most things that taste good, they're gonna stink a little. but it doesn't matter, because you'll find someone who likes your smell.

 

I smell like candy

 

this is assuming that there is little to eat besides meat, dairy, and eggs. i happen to know for a fact that it is completely incorrect.

and if you find vegan/veggie eaters to stink, then you are most likely attracted to other meat eaters and their pheremones. while i am attracted to other vegan/veggies and their pheremones.

see how nature does this? it's awesome!
