Partygoers reach for bagged shirts.
The parties started out as an experimental matchmaking fest by a woman weary of online dating, but it turns out they also have a root in science. Researchers have shown that humans can use scent to sort out genetic combinations that could lead to weaker offspring.
Several dozen people attended a recent party in Los Angeles, though many chuckled at the idea of finding a match in a smelly T-shirt.

A lot of lonely desparate people out there. I don't think this is the answer.
T-shirt!? I'd rather sniff panties.
EEUUUUU!!
The Brooklyn Bridge has been sold 2,185 times. Three hundred people who own it will be attending this event.
Smell THis
Too many people are seriously crippled germaphobes. Nothing smells more sexy than fresh sweat on a clean man. Such a turn on!
There is a scientific basis behind it - each of us has a unique "scent" that we respond to at a basic primal level. But those scents only give clues about health, etc. One gal posted that she knew several guys who smelled great but they were all losers. Well, pheromones can't help in that area, so you can't rely strictly on "smell".
Dogs do it all the time ... Hey baby, let me smell your butt and you can smell mine. LMAO!
Bunch of sick bastards!
Now, retired, behave yourself. Or go read some other article...
I wonder what it would be like to use pheromone cologne like they have at www.pherluv.com
