Sniffing for soulmates
Thinkers down the ages have tried in vain to solve the mysteries of human attraction. Looks like some boffins from Florida have finally come up with an answer: it's all to do with pheremones (that is, smell). And they're so confident that their odour-centric dating system will work that they're charging nearly two grand for it.
I don't buy it. (And even if I did, I wouldn't, because I can't afford it.) Sure, they may be able to set you up with someone to whom you are physically powerfully attracted. But surely deep, enduring love is based on so many other factors including a compatible temperament, and shared philosophy and outlook. I mean, a brimming pinko and a right wing death beast just aren't gonna stay together long regardless of how much they get off on snorting each other's armpits.
