**The secret to finding true love may lie in genetic differences** **By Steve Connor, Science Editor The Independent** [The secret to finding true love may lie in genetic differences - Science, News - The Independent](http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/the-secret-to-finding-true-love-may-lie-in-genetic-differences-1690411.html) Very interesting especially the part about subtle influences of [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) in human relationships. ---

I was actually thinking about this the other evening. There was a VERY similar report from the BBC a couple of years ago saying that people could pick up on the genetic differences and evolutionary we were conditioned to reproduce with those with a gene pool that gave us highest chance of survival. It led me on to consider the following; If the above were the sole underlying reason for attraction would messing with our bodies natural pheromone order actually attract a different mate to what we would have otherwise or would the pheromones here simply amplify certain attributes to those we would be genetically predisposed to anyway? ---

That’s interesting! Thanks!
