This is far from scientific, but I swear I have better "luck" on dates when I don't wear deodorant or cologne. Like, I'm obviously freshly showered so it's not like I smell bad, but maybe there's a subtle chemical communication thing going on? Or maybe I just don't smell like every other douchbag, idk.

We can't sense feromones like other animals apparently. But maybe you have a good body odor.
