I think there even was a links between body odor and attractiveness.
Lol maybe there's actual truth to the old cliche "she thinks her shit
don't stink" or at least not quite as bad as other's.

No actually, navigators on boats were among the first to notice the
earth's curvature when they sailed the seas.

I take a devil's advocate view on this and believe there is a relationship
between form and function. For one thing, I believe we betray our real
character by the things we surround ourselves with, with the very objects we
find 'value' in. A person with a bunch of tatoos on their body for
example...nah...not a lot of character there you see. But it is not because
the person wears tatoos, but that they would defame their own body for
reasons...well, who can know really, except they did not value themselves
all that much apparently.

I doubt they would value you or me more.

In a fascinating recent study, Winnifred Cutler and her colleagues at
the Athena Institute for Women's Wellness in Chester Springs,
Pennsylvania, tested whether a synthesized version of a human male
pheromone...

Always have been intruiged by the whole subject.

We have 'generally' moved beyond the stage where asymetrical
appearence was a sure fire way of potentially mating with another who
was unwell. I used to think it was purely a throw back to such times.

Of course there are much more lessons to be learned these day, from
the laws of attraction, more than just breeding "good stock". The self
searching that results from the massive %% of failed and failing
marriages takes people much deeper than ever required before.

Know thyself is more of a process than a recommendation!!!

The whole subject of what could be called "sacred geometry" provides
many answers.

A good recent 'scientific' study for example, discovered the athletic
potential of various athletes by the configuration, of all things,
their ears. Most would laugh that off, but that depends on if you
believe that all such patterns are just random.

How does one differentiate between ego gratification and intuition?
