Influence of smell when choosing a partner.

The unique smell emitted by the immune system of each person is the second most important factor (after character) by which women choose potential partners. However, even with the absence of pheromones in the classical sense (as in animals) and a lower sensitivity to aromas, in comparison with many other animals, people still have physiological tools for capturing and evaluating the smell of a partner, and this assessment, if you do not delve into neurophysiology, “flies past” the intermediate stages of analysis, and is immediately perceived as a “pass” or “fail”. And then a person considers as an optimal sexual partner only those who received a “credit” at the first stage. This is due to a number of mechanisms that are evolutionarily beneficial for obtaining the most healthy offspring.
