I read some scientific studies that said that the reason humans have body hair is because it produces certain pheromones (sexually stimulating odors) that attracted women to men etc.

So are women really attracted to it and do they smell some kind of pheromones on men with body hair that they like??

Or is this study just BS?

I think it depends on the woman. I find some hair attractive as long as it's not on the back or too abundant.
Scientists have also said that after a man gets up from a chair, or couch, leaves the room and a woman comes in, pheromones are left behind and the woman will choose the seat where the man sat. But men also choose those same seats. I'm not a scientist, but when I found out about the chair study, I did some studying myself, and 99% of the time, a woman did choose the seat a man had recently vacated. I don't think it's BS.

No body hair for this gal. Although it is helpful to have plenty of it on your head:-)))

The body odor, hair angle doesn't make darwinian sense. We evolved from a much hairier predecessor so I believe we are decreasing the amount of body hair with each subsequent generation and some of us have more of it than others. I don't recall a biological connection between body hair and suitability as a mate in anything before. Height, gurth, skin, etc. are a different story.

bodyhair retains the body odor.. and most probably a person will produce more body odor when (very) hairy.
Some women love a sweaty smell on a man, others don't. I guess some women like a hairy man, either because they feel it's very masculine, or because they (also) like body odor.
But I am sure there are a lot of women who don't like hairy man at all... me, for instance... brrr.
Does this help?

I would not say it was BS it really all depends on who they studied how many they studied and where they studied. Everyone is different and has a different preference. I personally prefer a man with little bodt hair. I like the back, chest and butt areas to be free of hair if at all possible. But that is just my preference.

May be you are correct in someway. The man with more hair naturally sweats. The male hormone smell will attract women. It is quite natural. Some may have bad smell so have to use perfumes of that kind to attract.

In the end, I could care less, but yeah, I would find it weird if the male were hairless. It strikes me as too feminine and I'm really not looking forward to being with another woman in bed.

As far as the pheromone scent part goes, your guess is as good as mine.

It depends on the guy, where the hair is, and about a dozen other things. I personally don't like a LOT of hair, but I'm not interested in one of those guys who looks like he hasn't got a hair on his body, either.

Honestly after a great nights sleep I find this scent my boyfriend gives off comforts me and I love it. I don't know what it might have to do with his body hair but he does have some light hair I love.

This woman likes body hair on a male. Especially chest and arms.
