“For females, androstenone decreased the sexual attractiveness of the target male and female and also decreased the rated strength of the target male.”

That’s why you should shower regularly. Smelling like BO is a turnoff to most of us.

I wonder what dose they tested at (and how they actually did the test - I’m presuming they used pictures). Repelling at a high dose is to be expected, but “and also decreased the rated strength of the target male” doesn’t add up. Anone almost directly communicates strength.

Yea its tough to get the full picture of the test from the abstract it raises a lot of questions about the test though.
