Smell is really important in the law of attraction towards other people. We might forget the people in our past but suddenly remember them because of a particular smell. A smell is like a trademark as a person. Smells good or bad but that is basically other people will gonna remember you.

when 1 out of 5 becomes 20% is not a satisfying conclusion. I'm not sure why, but their videos keep telling me that their samples is not big enough to make out that percentage. Using 1 out of 5 might makes a better impression.

Studying psychology when all of a sudden to your surprise you see charlie! That made the video so much better haha

Smell and strength has always attracted me. I actually fell in love with my husband when I noticed he was stronger than most teenagers our age. We went to a summer camp together for school and a bunch of boys were playing tackle football , one by one the guys would tackle each other and hit the floor hard. A couple of times he caught the ball and I kid you not 4 guys couldn’t take him down literally had two dragging on his legs and he didn’t go down. Our instructors were also impressed. I remembered wanting to be around him more and so attracted to his scent. He’s always been a sweaty guy but, I didn’t mind. We’ve been together for a decade and a half with a big beautiful family. I’m certain his sweat has been a contributing factor in my attraction to him as he’s always been a hands on kind of guy.

How do they get all these people in their video?! Omg, even Charlie is in there.

How come the girls' accuracy was 70%? Did 3.5 out of 5 girls got their boyfriend's smell right?

yeah, 70% for 5 population is weird number...because if 5 is 100%, then there should only be 0, 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80%.

This actually makes a lot of sense. When a smell reminds me of my husband it leaves me feeling happy.

So what does it say about the immune system when only one person finds the other's smell appealing but not the other way round?

I've really enjoyed these videos and I hope they continue! They could have their own series on the television :)

imagine going up to a person and saying "mmmm, you have a sexy immune system!"

7 years later, but I have had multiple women tell me they liked my b.o., no lie. First time I just figured she loved me and didnt care, but in my next relationship.. I'd be in dire need of a shower when I got home and when they go to hug me I'd say ayyy you might want to wait til I shower 😂 then got the same reaction. I don't give a fuck about deodorant anymore honestly. But now that I think of it, I got above average immune system for sure. Never knew the correlation 👀 til now! Interesting stuff.

As mammal females are more traditionally inclined to sort out their mates, selecting worthy genes to pass on whether males are all about seeding as much sperm as possible and aren't too picky about it, it's possible the girls could've 'smelled' some info pertaining to good health/genetic make-up ...however the doc doesn't acknowledge that nutrition has a great impact on our natural smell. The contestants' usual diet (and what they ate last) could have been used to explain the results too

What can we conclude from this? That the man wearing no.3 clearly wasn't working up a sweat hard enough XD

Can anyone explain how, out of 5 female participants, "nearly 70%" correctly identified the smell of their partner? 3/5 = 60% and 4/5 = 80% sooooooo what am I missing here?

Being that you are playing paintball would it be safe to say the person would release pheromones related to stress and therefore be off putting to those who smell that pheromone?

This channel is so full of science. I love it!!

People tell me my scent smells good even tho i didnt put on deodorant or any other product. I eat just fruits and meats with water mainly with the occasional vegtable. And i found out after drinking like 3 strawberry banana smoothies that day my jizz smells like strawberry and vanila. Diet really does impact your body odor.

They didn't tell us which girl's tshirt was the one chosen the most though.

And why do they show Kat looking away from the camera we see so often? I don't think she knows where she should be looking?

Guy number 3 had highest t level. Garantee you. But yeah this is kinda of a sample size.

noooo. this must NOT be the last one. I WANT MORE. this is so interesting!

what you ate can also affect the way you smell... like garlic for instance. then again some people like that smell while others don't, but if it changes the person's scent enough the smell could be better or worse without that factor.

Enlighten me, how would you convert either 4/5 or 3/5 to 70%?

This experiment only gives info for people in heterosexual relationships. We don’t know their orientations, so some may be bisexual, pansexual,etc.

this is like bio class all over again

guy @ 6:56 looks scared !

i love how whenever a guy says their faourite t shirt the girl's face is like "oh i see how it is im not good enough for you well then i guess you just think i smell"

yayy! by looks alone and mannerisms alone, i guessed the nicest smelling shirt would be Ross.

The 80% = *statistics* 😆 the total is always 100%. To find percentiles you can use the mean / average to calculate it to find ranking. I won't go into detail but percentage is the same logic as finding 50% of $42.50

I can't decide if that's Daenerys Targaryen in the opening of the video or not...

One confounding factor that would have effected the results is diet. If one person ate healthy food and drank a lot of water that day, but another person ate smelly food and didn't hydrate properly, their smell could be considerably stronger.

There have been several experiments which I've read about which "support" their hypothesis (tested on hundreds of women), I don't think a youtube show would have the time/money to invite dozens of couples over and pay for their paintballs, furthermore I don't think the viewers would have the time to watch all of those people make guesses.

Congrats you won comment of the day!

I wonder how many relationship ending fights were started due to this test.

I've watched a few of these videos now, and every time he says 'But first, here is Kat' I hear 'Here's a cat'.

I just take my sweaty gym gonch and wear them right on my head when I go out to the club, works everytime

I wish they would have done this experiment with shirts people had just worn not like sweated in so it would just be their natural sent. Then asking if you were attracted to the smell didn't just mean which didn't smell bad.

I think it depends on if the partner wears a lot of fragrance so you never really hone in on their natural odor. You also need a specific time because for females it does change with cycles, but the component of an individuals scent is very unique to them no two are alike. They are inherited from both parents and yes they do control it. Though nowadays, we wage war on any kind of funk or off putting odor.

Your smell can be changed by different factors. How healthy you are or What have you been eating. Its not just genectics

@Richard Smith : the sample was mix of whole and half people so ...3.5 girls correctly identified their partners ?!!? :-P I'm hoping they did the experiment with multiple groups of five couples and are reporting mean success rate while showing only one group for illustrative purposes

what is the smell of 3?

thats what i thought- the guy who was picked as being most attractive by the girls seemed a lot healthier and stronger than the others when he was talking

:O kat and Charlie mc donnell! I just started watching his videos last month! Had no idea he was on anything to do with derren! :D

Also the girls or boys could tell because of the shirt sizes through process of elimination

Wait, if there were 5 girls how did they get an accuracy rate of 70 percent?

does this mean if we all stopped using deodorant or perfume we could find a partner easier

Why is Charlie never there in person..?

Once again I am shocked at the way Science of Attraction is going about things. Why on earth was it necessary to have them do paintballing? That was a fantastic way to completely contaminate the smells with the smell of mud (which was even pointed out by one of the girls). Why not just put them all on treadmills for 15 minutes? These results are completely useless because no thought was put into genuine scientific testing. Why is there never a control group too?

almost all of them said that 3 was familiar. translation: all of them are cheating on each other

At her perfume statistic: per what???? LABEL YOUR AXES!!!!!

Ever heard of something called converting numbers?

I was wondering on that too. It is amazing that they conclude so easily when they have only 5 test samples. You obviously can't conclude anything out of 5 samples. Then they give us 70% result. Funny

I like science, Charlie and loooove - I like this video!

some of this seems quite arbitrary, even more so when considering the fairly small size of the test group, there is unlikely to be a meaningful result

So we're all essentially attracted to immune systems?

That's weird because you can't see their immune system and they can't see yours

At 4:30, females are not suppose to sweat? And what's pride got to do with it?

This is a phenomena called "histocompatability" if people want to google for more info.

Look at Ross. LOL Looking like Waldo, just wanna dress him in red stripes and pop on glasses! Oh Ross ... HAHAH

Is that a barbie shirt that the hostess is wearing? lol

only began watching these because i saw charlie

the 70% wouldn't come from the 5 samples directly it depends on the amount of people more than in the number of samples... just like if you have 5 choices and 100 people, if 70 people choose the same sample it would be the most liked with a 70% of the total of votes

Since we are attracted to different genetic makeups, that might be why I'm attracted to Asian guys. xD

how can you make a percentage of 70% from 5 samples? :D

Kat has fangs. anyone notice this?

I think they are also calculating the shirts they are most attracted to....

Even with millions of people, some people may never get into a relationship. We are not much more different than any other animal or organism on the planet. We are not that much more special or loving than other animals. Unless we can one day seperate ourselves from our biological roots and have 100% free will, there will always be people who suffer from severe loneliess and chronic social isolation.

OMG WHUT. CHARLIE'S IN THIS? YAAAY!

Correct me if I am wrong.... But there are 5 men and 5 women... How did they manage to get 70% of women were right? Did they break one in half?

The smell of attraction -- eat broccoli and beans, wash it down with copious amounts of milk, allow to brew in your digestive system for a day, and unleash the end product! That's your smell of attraction right there! LOL!

@MsLaurenPanda The whole point of being a vegan is not eating anything processed -_- Not that that matters, i eat normal food and smell good naturally and so do most other people. What you eat really doesnt matter. Especially as far as smells go.

The experiment looks like a scene from the movie Saw.

why would you assume its the black girl? i mean i could understand if you meant that she was the heaviest girl and therefore would be more likely to sweat..but otherwise i dont quite get what you're trying to say there

I think the girls are always wearing some kind of perfume deodorant or just finish showering making them never smelling like themselves making their partner unsure of what they even smell like

So I was watching "My Strange Addiction" and I saw this, and was like Okay cool. I clicked on it and the lady was like "Let's go to Charlie" and I was like "Charlie? Charlie? CHARLIE MCDONNELL?!" So that surprised me lol

science needs more than 5 people and mud to conclude what people are attracted to

Amy's like a model!!!

Number 3 killing it

i am very attracted to derren brown and seth macfarlane i mean weirdly obsessed with them!

there were only five female test subjects for the smell test, but the results stated that 70% of them were able to identify their man's scent. that would mean that 3 and 1/2 women were able to identify their man

Me: watching the video and eating my pear normally Me at 3:39: stops chewing and mind goes blank I was NOT expecting to find our old red-haired Charlie in this video at all. Like if my brother casually walked out of my bedroom closet and acted as though nothing was strange about it.

Definately the accent. She also reminds me of cat from Red Dwarf!

it is after all a show, and not a full blown study. And as such, I treat it as such anyway. A bit of infotainment!

@Badhabitsjay dude its a tv show, not a psychological journal.

Isn't it possible that some people didn't work as hard as the others, so they didn't sweat as much? It's like asking "which pile of poo would you most like to eat?" Of course you'll pick the one that's the smallest pile.

true for actually accurate statistics you need at least 500 people

They dint tel name of the guy no. 3 whose smell was more attracted..

Who else is here for their psychology class? 🙋‍♀️

OMG the black couple....XD just makes me laugh 10:15
