美国纽约、洛杉矶等城市最近兴起了一种名为激素约会(pheromone dating)的方式,参与约会的单身男女,先不与对方见面,而是闻一下对方的T恤之后,再决定要不要继续下去。 并且要求是要穿了几天的衣服,不能有香水、除臭剂之类的东西。据说两人相投的话,他们的气味也会相互喜欢。 这听上去有点恶心。不过,这个方法确实有科学依据的。早在10年前,科学家就做过类似的实验,发现嗅觉确实可以帮助人们寻找伴侣。不过传统的实验当中,只有女性去闻男性的T恤,还没有反过来过。 Sniff your way to love? Singles who have attended so-called pheromone parties haven't ruled it out. The get-togethers - which have been held in New York and Los Angeles and are planned for other cities - ask guests to submit a slept-in T-shirt that will be smelled by other participants. Then, voila! You can pick your partner based on scent, of so the theory goes. |
