The smell plays a role in attraction. Fertility surely plays a role too, for heterosexual relationships… yet I guess the compatibility of immune system should still play a role in homosexual relationships and between people who aren’t fertile (due to age or health conditions) since it is not conscious, no? Do you know if it has been studied too?
That last bit is huge. When I transitioned I went from slightly bi to full homo (hormones can do weird things) and went from thinking that most people smelled pretty good with mild sweat to loving it in women and finding it utterly repulsive in a way that I get how some people could like it, but please get it away from me on men.
A same persone kiss doesn’t “taste” the same according to what they ate just before. Yet may the compatibility of a persone doesn’t depend on the last thing they ate?
I don’t sample anything when I kiss, so I don’t know… for me it is more a moment of exchange with an other persone and that mater is more in the sentimental feelings and complicity.
Have you ever kissed someone you loved and found out from that kiss that youwere not compatible with that persone? I have know a few kissers, but I haven’t heared of that among my friends or relatives…
Are we human able to feel pheromones? Or do they date other species?
Else, well, if they smell on a daily basis, some honnesty on the first date is not wrong, I guess…
Maybe not “pheromones”, but there’s certain aspects that make up our “smell” that people can detect. Compatible immune systems (i.e. “could we likely produce healthy offspring?”) and apparently fertility can affect smell in a way people are sensitive to.
And sexuality plays a part too. People prefer the smell of the gender they’re attracted to.

When kissing you’re not sampling for what they ate, you are sampling for genetic compatibility.
Disgusting?.. … i guess

Sure. Your language is nice and poetic. However, part of that soul searching is gene-matching, and it happens subconsciously.
Not saying your soul isn’t beautiful, but don’t deprive your meat of it’s credit.

That is metaphoric, and they often say that before any kiss happend… and if they kiss while “there is no chemistry” they aren’t much of romantics…
