Just a whiff of a woman close to ovulation is enough to stimulate another woman's testosterone levels, along with her desire to compete.

Love Stinks: The Smell of Attraction
There's a reason you're attracted to certain scents and it has to do with your own natural smell.

Competition among women may be, in large part, nose-driven, as a new study finds that the scent of a woman close to ovulation triggers a testosterone boost in the smelling female.

Testosterone, in turn, can affect behavior.

"It's well known that testosterone is linked to aggression and competitiveness," lead author Jon Maner, a Florida State University psychologist, told Discovery News. "Based on our testosterone findings, one could speculate that women exposed to the scent of ovulation might become more antagonistic or competitive."

For the study, published in the latest issue of the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, Maner and co-author James McNulty measured the testosterone levels of women before and after they smelled t-shirts that were previously worn by other women aged 18-21. The latter group wore the shirts when they were at high fertility -- days 13, 14 and 15 of the menstrual cycle -- and at low fertility- days 20, 21 and 22.

For the duration of the study, the t-shirt wearers refrained from engaging in sexual activity. They also showered with unscented soap and shampoo, did not use any perfumes or deodorants, didn’t smoke, and avoided eating odor-producing foods, such as garlic and asparagus.

The sniffers were told that the study concerned "how much we can tell about another person without even meeting them," but had no idea about how and when the t-shirts were collected.

Women exposed to the scent of high fertility females displayed greater levels of testosterone. The smell of a low fertility woman actually caused testosterone levels in the sniffers to significantly drop.

I don't get it....so this does lead to more promiscuous behavior in turn or just a sour attitude from the increased levels of testosterone...

I can usually smell if a woman is on her cycle. If we didnt use so many scented products: deodorant, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, perfume I'm sure most men and women would be able to.

Not at all. I just have a good nose like Wolverine. Sitting in a car with a chick or in an office you should be able to smell it.

chicks are always competitive and catty when a dude is involved

women are usually more jealous, crazy, suspicious and confrontational around this time.


i usually keep my phone battery dead, or in my pocket until it passes because the natural animal instincts of a women will get u caught up. If you treat the situation like ur an animal and shes an animal.... and treat her nicer around these times everything should work out fine.

Also, a woman will hate attractive women around this time - she can't even help it.

Women with elevated levels of testosterone tend to be more promiscuous, but I don't know if spikes in testosterone levels resulting from the scent of other ovulating chicks present are significant enough to cause increases in promiscuity or not.

Why do you ask? You trying to put this info to use somehow?

On another note, anybody who's ever had a steady main chick knows they want to fukk like a rabbit after and sometimes before their period.
