The Pill makes women pick bad mates

"Birth control pills could screw up a woman's ability to sniff out a compatible mate, a new study finds. While several factors can send a woman swooning, including big brains and brawn, body odor can be critical in the final decision, the researchers say. That's because beneath a woman's flowery fragrance or a guy's musk the body sends out aromatic molecules that indicate genetic compatibility. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are involved in immune response and other functions, and the best mates are those that have different MHC smells than you. The new study reveals, however, that when women are on the pill they prefer guys with matching MHC odors."

that just explains why women pick the wrong guy...not why they are crazy.

a lot of women are batshit crazy all on their own.

"The study involved about 100 women, aged 18 to 35, who chose which of six male body-odor samples they preferred. They were tested at the start of the study when none of the participants were taking contraceptive pills and three months later after 40 of the women had started taking the pill more than two months prior. For the non-pill users, results didn't show a significant preference for similar or dissimilar MHC odors. When women started taking birth control, their odor preferences changed. These women were much more likely than non-pill users to prefer MHC-similar odors. "The results showed that the preferences of women who began using the contraceptive pill shifted towards men with genetically similar odors," Roberts said."

1) Only 100 women? That's not very many.
2) "For the non-pill users, results didn't show a significant preference for similar or dissimilar MHC odors. " So when not on the pill, they still could easily choose the wrong guy based on scent.

I choose to believe this study as undeniable scientific evidence that women are crazy.

8/13/2008 5:06:42 PM

you don't need a study to tell you such things

8/13/2008 5:08:51 PM

good luck with that.

just remember that next time you find a girl (assuming this will happen), she is most likely not right for you.

you're missing the point here. the study doesn't say anything about women being crazy (they are, i'm not refuting that)...it just says that they pick the wrong men sometimes. reading comprehension
