No, you cannot reliably smell when a woman is attracted to you. While research suggests humans can detect pheromones and other hormonal changes, the link between these scents and specific romantic attraction is not definitively established. The claim that men can detect women "in the mood for sex" based solely on smell is an oversimplification of complex biological processes. The provided reference only mentions that research shows men can detect hormonal changes related to arousal, not necessarily attraction or romantic interest, and there is no evidence this is a reliable way to determine attraction. Furthermore, individual sensitivities to scents vary greatly.
Many factors influence attraction beyond scent alone, including:
- Visual cues: Body language, appearance.
- Auditory cues: Tone of voice, laughter.
- Behavioral cues: Initiating conversation, making eye contact.
- Personality and shared interests: Compatibility and connection.
While pheromones and body odor play a role in human attraction, it's a small piece of a much larger puzzle. Attributing attraction solely to smell is misleading and inaccurate.
