Theory no 1.

It's time to roll out the theories

Theory 1

On Catalyst last night a programme about the hormones involved in lust, falling in love and attachment got me thinking.

The programme stated that a woman who is on the pill will choose a man whose immune system smells closest to her own. If she is not on the pill she will choose a man who has an immune system less like hers to widen the genetic pool. This is because of the pill's job to create a false pregnanacy in women.

So I was thinking.. Does this work with all things do with the nose? For instance would smokers choose the wrong person or could you make a life mistake if you fall in love when you have a cold? And all that perfume and deoderant must make it all out of wack anyway.

I take comfort in this.
It is not my fault - blame the nose.
