My loam is burning what are we talking about?

Research suggests we are subconsciously drawn to the body odours of people who have different Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes than our own—a biological trick to ensure healthy, genetically diverse offspring. -- google et al

In short, there is a biological basis for interest in those sweaty pits, at the strategic level of survival.

So if I spray my armpits with WILDLY different genes and odors, like fish saliva or snake piss, I will be more attractive? Thanks science, I am gonna try it immediately.

To snakes and fish, yeah. I used to use old spice and bees would try to drink my eye juices, no joke. I also wore Hawaiian shirts. Coincidence? I think maybe.
