A woman's sexuality is determined by the smell of sweat

Researchers found that irresistible to the opposite sex defines a special gene that makes an attractive smell of sweat.

According to Australian researchers who conducted the DNA testing students at the University of Western Australia, the mystery of attraction hidden in the genes of the immune system, which we inherit from our parents, writes The Daily Mail.

According to experts, the appearance and smell of sweat, women may serve to signal to potential partners that the birth of her children will have a better chance in the fight against disease.

The researchers asked the volunteers to a series of questions about their intimate life, but also analyzed the genome for changes in the genes governing the work of major histocompatibility complex (MHC). MHC molecules provide a fundamental principle of the functioning of the immune system - recognition of "their" and "foreign" cells. Typically, the more diverse these genes, the stronger their vehicle is protected from disease. The results of questionnaires and genetic testing of volunteers have coincided and showed that women with the most diverse major histocompatibility complex genes were the most sexual partners.

Previous studies have shown that the more different on the molecular composition of the sweat of two people, the more attractive they are to each other. Perhaps this phenomenon arose from the need to prevent the closely ties.

This sympathy between man and woman can be easily calculated by the duration of a glance, which he throws at her. On average, the most attractive women men think about 8,2 seconds.

As reported by Mining Weekly, the researchers have not the first time try to estimate the parameters of perfect matching of men and women. For example, a group of Swiss scientists calculated that the most successful is a marriage where the wife educated and 5 years younger than her husband.

But finding the most suitable partner in life is not so simple. Recently, English mathematician derived a formula search for the perfect girl and calculated that the chances to meet her negligible.
