Quick science tip for anyone celebrating Valentine's Day. We have never isolated human pheromones. You might hear all sorts of marketing claims, but it's not a thing. There are no compounds that evolved solely for the purpose of attracting the opposite sex that we have identified. That doesn't mean they don't exist, but we don't know about them. However, what we have identified are scent cues, which means things that our noses can detect that indicate some things about the other person, like if they're sick or unhealthy. say is go shower before going out.
Additional notes
Tip #2: whether you have a significant other, are looking for one, or just interested in friends… just be genuinely curious about the other person and what they have to say. All connection flows from that. #science #valentinesday
