Sept. 18, 2007 - Liz Gabor calls the odor “man sweat.” And though she’s loath to admit it, the aromatic scent makes her feel, as she calls it, a little frisky. “My friends think I’m crazy, but I think male sweat is kind of pleasant and, well, kind of hot,” says Gabor, 28, a customer service rep and happily married mother of two young girls.Actually I think that this story is kind of interesting. Here is one more excerpt:
According to the Rockefeller and Duke researchers, about 70 percent of adult men and women have the genetic capacity to perceive a particular chemical called androstenone in male body odor. To them, the testosterone-laden substance can take on a pleasant bouquet similar to vanilla or other sweet or woodsy scents. Others who have a functional copy of the gene perceive androstenone as less than pleasurable, akin to the aromatic elixir of stale urine. About 30 percent of adult men and women can’t smell androstenone at all, leading researchers to suspect they might be missing the gene responsible for smelling the aroma.

This is great.
I'm just glad one particular woman likes the bald & goatee look.

That is a look that I just might resemble one day.

Eew. Please don't be nasty.
Re: sweat I happen to like the smell of guy sweat -as long as it's clean fresh sweat, and not old funky sweat. And it smells different depending on how it was produced. Don't ask me how my nose can tell. But it can. *And* here's one more thing.
When I was still single, I was totally hot for a very certain few types: long, tall body-hairless guys with long hair and Asians. Only problem: Could not tolerate the sweat smell of the Asians I dated. Which is I guess why I ended up married to an short, hairy Ashkenazi. *Sigh*
Oh, those wild college days
Mark,
I'll leave that one alone.
KRG,
Let's hair it for hairy Ashkenazi men.
