Study: Women Can Smell Wimpy Men
Women can sniff out a wimp because they can smell emotions like fear and disgust on a man's skin, according to a study.
The smell of perspiration released by men while they were feeling afraid or repulsed was enough to trigger the same emotion in women, an experiment showed.
When exposed to bottled sweat given off by men as they watched clips from the thriller "The Shining", women began showing physical signs of being afraid such as a fearful facial expression, darting eye movements and heavier sniffing.
