Can’t hide B.O.


Research now proves what we already knew: it’s tougher to mask armpit odor from women. “It is quite difficult to block a woman’s awareness of body odor.

Evidently, females are more attuned to biologically relevant information in sweat when they are choosing a mate. (Image courtesy of FreeImages.co.uk)
