What kind of Men do women prefer?

Filed under: Biology

Just read a finding from Nature News and the article is entitled:

Ovulating women favour dominant men's smell - Michael Hopkin
Published online: 6 July 2005; | doi:10.1038/news050704-6

This research finding suggests that women in the ovulating period find socially dominant males to be attractive!This study was published by a Czech group(Jan HavlĂ­cek, of Charles University in Prague, and his colleagues) recently.Now we all are aware of pheromones,(these are chemicals that are involved in Chemo-communication between systems..or lets say individuals here)now this experiment was done by collecting sweat by sweat pads from men who were initially asked to fill a questionnaire in order to rate their social dominance by another group of volunteers.

65 women were selected and were asked to rate the sexiness/masculinity of the smell.I would like to quote their words now exactly “Women in the middle week of their menstrual cycle, the point at which fertility is at its peak, tended to prefer the smell of the men who scored highest on the dominance quiz. This preference was not shown by women at other points in their cycle”.

Well so much for that deodrant!
