All of my girlfriends have mentioned being attracted to my scent. I always assumed it was a combination of pheromones and a vegan diet.

I used all of the plants discussed, interesting meats like various types of game, lamb, offal, turtles, frogs, raw oysters, all shellfish in general, and a whole bunch of fermented foods including every kind of cheese, and all the curries, to filter out the squeamish during the partner search. 45 years later I think the strategy has proved itself spectacularly. During the pregnancy all that stuff was in the mix every day and the result was by 1 1/2 years old depending on the meal we called the kid The Broccoli Monster or The Asparagus Monster on account of the kid's hilarious enthusiasm. Fascinating watching the asparagus get inhaled. Also we didn't force it but when the crawler snuck into the fridge for raids invariably she grabbed the BBQ chicken or the ham. "Guess she's not a vegetarian...". We have pix. Kid recently got a food science MS from UC Davis.

Kinda figures this is in the BritishBC.

Edit: I'm very happy for the down votes, because it gives me new data on a subset of current HN commenters. Musk really needs you because those Mars rockets aren't going to be a culinary paradise. He's probably going to just put in a row of push button dispensers for that stuff they dish out on the ship in The Matrix. Unclear if the tubes go directly to a row of hungry mouths, or even more efficiently right down into the stomachs.

It would take a feastful of foods to make me smell more attractive. In other news, I used to be able to identify people by smell but I am thankful to have lost this ability.

"Carb-heavy diets produced the least sexy of scents."

Sounds like another win for my gym bros. The science is still catching up.

If I don't sweat enough, urea builds up in my skin and it begins to smell like pee/old people.

If I don't jog or do something strenuous for a week or two and then go for a hard sweaty run my shirt afterward smells like someone peed on it.

When I do jog/sweat regularly my body odor is completely neutral.
