Oh, I already knew I was attracted to effeminate men. And have been since before I went on the Pill. Ha ha. Hmmm.

sorry pit stains are not going to attract me.  I don’t care how many pheromones they give off, put on the deodorant please.

Yeah… I don’t really think excessive sweating is necessary for pheromones to waft about. You (the guy) need to strike a balance between letting your pheromones roam free and not grossing out people by looking unhygienic or unreasonably nervous.

But then, that kind of goes without saying. This article was from Cracked.com, so hopefully nobody reading it took the massive pit stain photos as sincere advice for reeling in the chicks…

Massive pit stains, not so much, but I have noticed that I get hit on most frequently when I feel a little grungy.  I’m not sure if it’s pheromones or attitude, though.  It may be that when I think I’m looking really good, I come off as less approachable, whereas when I know I haven’t showered, my hair’s dirty and I’m wearing the same clothes as last night I’m not even thinking about trying to meet anyone and probably look a bit more relaxed and fun.

So you should look averagely effeminate and symmetrical, work up a nice sweat, and then go around asking women what their dad looks like and if they’re ovulating? Hot.

I agree with most of this. Just not to the extremes they describe it, like the sweat stains. But nothing turns me on faster than pheromones. Oh and I guess ovulation too.

I’m on the pill and I’m no longer attracted to effeminate dudes. In fact, I’ve been really into the super masculine ones, whom I imagine running around in loincloths throwing spears at mammoths.

And I’ve been on birth control for years. Crap, does that mean it’s not working anymore?

I’m attracted to effeminate guys when I also know that they’re sensitive. But gosh do I love manly men too…. Okay, maybe I just really love men.

Actually, there was a study years ago that suggested that women who go on the pill are LESS attracted to effeminate men. Basically, they don’t know what the pill does to women, other than prevent pregnancy.

Of course.

According to other studies, our (largely unconscious) perception of pheromones prompts us to select partners who are genetically diverse—partners whose genes are very different from ours.

Effeminate men do zero for me.  Only one of us in the relationship gets to have boobs, and I already corner that market.  The Pill didn’t make a difference there—that’s just how I’m hard-wired.

The sweat thing…yeah, to a degree, that’s true for me personally.  When The Boyfriend’s skin has that light sweat smell mixed with his chemistry and cologne—RRRROWR!  If he smells like the winds coming off a landfill, I will threaten to Febreeze him.

I don’t want a man who looks like my dad.  I’m keen on men who are tall like my dad, but that’s where it ends.  You must be 6’1” or more to ride this roller coaster.

Thankfully i don’t think i ever looked like anyones Dad except my own. Heres the funny thing though. In High School most of my girlfriends developed a crush on my Dad. To make matters worse the guys i palled around with developed crushed on my mother. Its no wonder i think of my life in terms of before high school and after high school.

@bogart4017: Not that I ever did or would tell my husband this, but I thought his dad was smoking hot for a very long time.  As my FIL has aged, I don’t think that anymore, though.

My SO (brawny and brainy-yum)works out every day in between doing his computer stuff and is active at his place: cutting wood, splitting wood, regular manual labor, etc.  He smells and looks delicious when he’s sweaty.  I don’t think he believes me, but snuggling up with him when we’re pooped out from work is heaven.  Threatening febreeze because of a landfill smell (hahaha) hasn’t happened though.  He’s always dressed nicely if we have to go someplace though, and wouldn’t dream of looking pitted out.

Okay, so Zac Efron and Jude Law are way too effeminate, at least in looks, for me.  Sorry.  But I will confess to finding Seth Rogen more attractive than Brad Pitt.  How embarrassing.  I definitely do not like overgroomed men, but then, I have a bearded, lumberjack-shirt-wearing father, so maybe that’s not surprising.

Sweat in a business shirt = gross. Sweat on a gym shirt = hot.

I try mightily to avoid pit stains, BUT, I have an affinity for flannel shirts. And like jeans, I tend to wear these shirts multiple times without washing them. I am considerably more popular when I wear these shirts.

If the guy is in the gym, or doing something manly, like chopping wood, I expect them to sweat- then shower. I am actually attracted to men who are the complete opposite of my dad. I have no interest in effeminate men what so ever, just the opposite, I like big,rugged looking guys.
