In this study 20 women were asked to fill out a Passionate Love Scale questionnaire (click on the link in the article to take a look at the questionnaire). Then their boyfriend, male friends, and lady friends were asked to sleep in a cotton t-shirt with pads sewn into the armpits (to soak up sweat) for seven nights.
The score on the Passionate Love Scale questionnaire made no difference in the women's ability to recognize their lover's t-shirt or female friend's t-shirt from a stranger's. However, the deeper in love the woman was, the harder it was for her to recognize the t-shirt of a male friend.
Well now isn't that something.

How does one measure which women were "more deeply in love?"
This study is a crock of shit.

The woman in the picture is checking if her boyfriend was with another woman. She is very possessive.

I dont like women who have stinky breath,arms,feet, or stinky vagina thats really bad.
Ladies please take a shower ,brush your teeth ,use deodorant and please pretty please make sure that you dont have any stinky smells before you go on a sexual encounter thats a real turn off to see a beautiful woman that stink.
Natural smell is okay but stinky odors nooo hell nooooooooooo. - 3 years ago

The deeper in love we are, the more wacked out our sense of smell is? How do you prove how in love a woman is?

It's all good until the chemistry changes the Love potion into I Hate you poison.
Two peoples intercourse juices creates its own chemistry scent and if done often enough changes the person's smelling abilities as well.

so if a girl thinks you smell bad, say after the gym or a run, does that mean she isn't really into you?
I am trying to remember if some of my ex's liked my smell...they wore my clothes...

No, it just means that you stink like sweat after working out, not that you smell bad any other time.
If they wore your clothes, you can be almost positive that they liked your scent.

honestly, my dude doesn't always smell extraordinarily fresh and clean, but you know, if he sleeps over and i smell my blankets later, it reminds me of him and it's super sweet regardless of whether the smell is or not.
and you never need an excuse for a shower excursion if your special friend needs some hygienic help, and that is always fun...

love screws up your sense of smell...and your balance, and your eyesight, and don't forget reason and logic, and the whole damn universe goes apeshit...and yet it's fabulous. Go figure.
