Humans might each have a special smell, and scientists are trying to find out if having the same smell makes them better friends.
Humans try not to smell each other because it is quite rude, but if humans and other animals are alike, then humans should have a distinct smell. Humans should have a particular order that makes people different from other people.
Some scientists think that the smell coming from you might let people know what you are thinking and what type of person you are. Research proved that this is true. Two friends became friends because their body odors were similar.
The researchers tested this theory by putting two different people together and making them play a game, and their body odors predicted that they might become friends. Researchers think that it’s not just where, when, and how people meet them that contributes to their friendships, but also what they smell like.
Friendship scientists found out that it’s not just the age and things they like that are shared with friends but also genetics and the pattern of the brain. Some researchers think that swift friendships might be because they detected a certain smell in the other person. A researcher got 20 click friends, friends that got together really fast without really knowing each other, and put them together. They were supposed to not do anything that might affect their smell, wear fresh, clean lab shirts, and sleep in them before the investigation.
The researchers used an electronic nose to find out that the smells of the friends were more similar compared to the smells of strangers. It’s very likely that at least some of the people were using perfumes when they met but didn’t cover their own smell.
There are many reasons people might smell alike, such as living similar lifestyles. To contradicts this statement, a few strangers were asked to play a mirroring game and most of the time they had positive connections because sniffing a smell like yours can generate good feelings.
