Engineering love?
July 2nd, 2009 by Anju
Admit it – matching people based on pheromones was probably not your first thought when going to a dating site. I’m sure many people (not reading this, but in general) don’t know what pheromones are at all!!! However, think about colognes, aftershaves and perfumes. These are billion dollar businesses! And they may smell nice, but the don’t smell nice the way a cinnamon roll smells nice. Perfumes don’t smell like chocolate, or spring meadows, or new cars! They have a very distinct smell, one that is typically engineered to entice someone else’s interest. This desire, while important in the past to simply mask the week-old funk most people had before indoor plumbing, also is connected to pheromones and our reaction to someone else based on their scent. So what makes more sense when you really think about it – being connected based on naturally occurring scents we all produce, or trying to connect in a bar or club based on scents from the local department store mixed in with whiskey breath? You’ve tried the second one before, with predictable results, I’d wager. Why not try something a little more natural?
