- Опубликовано: 29 окт 2024
- Science suggests that the smell of a person can influence your attraction to them. It is a scientific fact that we can be biologically disposed to a certain type of person based on their smell. In this Channel 4 Science of Attraction video (introduced by Derren Brown and presented by Kat Akingbade and Charlie McDonnell) we'll take a closer look by taking some young couples paintballing!

Smell is really important in the law of attraction towards other people. We might forget the people in our past but suddenly remember them because of a particular smell. A smell is like a trademark as a person. Smells good or bad but that is basically other people will gonna remember you.
when 1 out of 5 becomes 20% is not a satisfying conclusion. I'm not sure why, but their videos keep telling me that their samples is not big enough to make out that percentage. Using 1 out of 5 might makes a better impression.
Smell and strength has always attracted me. I actually fell in love with my husband when I noticed he was stronger than most teenagers our age. We went to a summer camp together for school and a bunch of boys were playing tackle football , one by one the guys would tackle each other and hit the floor hard. A couple of times he caught the ball and I kid you not 4 guys couldn’t take him down literally had two dragging on his legs and he didn’t go down. Our instructors were also impressed. I remembered wanting to be around him more and so attracted to his scent. He’s always been a sweaty guy but, I didn’t mind. We’ve been together for a decade and a half with a big beautiful family. I’m certain his sweat has been a contributing factor in my attraction to him as he’s always been a hands on kind of guy.
Studying psychology when all of a sudden to your surprise you see charlie! That made the video so much better haha
How do they get all these people in their video?! Omg, even Charlie is in there.
Hey I like your videos :,)
I really love your work good luck
Omg psych2go I love your videos and the animations are so cute
How come the girls' accuracy was 70%? Did 3.5 out of 5 girls got their boyfriend's smell right?
yeah, 70% for 5 population is weird number...because if 5 is 100%, then there should only be 0, 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80%.
It's bullshit
She said almost 70 that means it wasnt 70! Duh!
the youngest couple is so freaking cute :3
CHARLIE. I did not expect to see him here.
This channel is so full of science. I love it!!
I've really enjoyed these videos and I hope they continue! They could have their own series on the television :)
This actually makes a lot of sense. When a smell reminds me of my husband it leaves me feeling happy.
I use to sweat but it didnt smell but when I grew up it started to smell
Das good
That is the result of a little thing called puberty.
Clean your liver
Bad and unhealthy habits and NUTRITION !
Also clothing, shoes, deodorants of poor quality
This experiment only gives info for people in heterosexual relationships. We don’t know their orientations, so some may be bisexual, pansexual,etc.
What can we conclude from this? That the man wearing no.3 clearly wasn't working up a sweat hard enough XD
People tell me my scent smells good even tho i didnt put on deodorant or any other product.
I eat just fruits and meats with water mainly with the occasional vegtable.
And i found out after drinking like 3 strawberry banana smoothies that day my jizz smells like strawberry and vanila.
Diet really does impact your body odor.
some of this seems quite arbitrary, even more so when considering the fairly small size of the test group, there is unlikely to be a meaningful result
Guy number 3 had highest t level. Garantee you.
But yeah this is kinda of a sample size.
noooo. this must NOT be the last one. I WANT MORE. this is so interesting!
Being that you are playing paintball would it be safe to say the person would release pheromones related to stress and therefore be off putting to those who smell that pheromone?
So what does it say about the immune system when only one person finds the other's smell appealing but not the other way round?
As mammal females are more traditionally inclined to sort out their mates, selecting worthy genes to pass on whether males are all about seeding as much sperm as possible and aren't too picky about it, it's possible the girls could've 'smelled' some info pertaining to good health/genetic make-up
...however the doc doesn't acknowledge that nutrition has a great impact on our natural smell. The contestants' usual diet (and what they ate last) could have been used to explain the results too
i know exactly what you mean, i think it's the way she curls up her lip when she talks..... her teeth kinda bug me a little too
Also the girls or boys could tell because of the shirt sizes through process of elimination
what you ate can also affect the way you smell... like garlic for instance. then again some people like that smell while others don't, but if it changes the person's scent enough the smell could be better or worse without that factor.
Can anyone explain how, out of 5 female participants, "nearly 70%" correctly identified the smell of their partner? 3/5 = 60% and 4/5 = 80% sooooooo what am I missing here?
imagine going up to a person and saying "mmmm, you have a sexy immune system!"
😂😂😂😂😂
7 years later, but I have had multiple women tell me they liked my b.o., no lie.
First time I just figured she loved me and didnt care, but in my next relationship.. I'd be in dire need of a shower when I got home and when they go to hug me I'd say ayyy you might want to wait til I shower 😂 then got the same reaction. I don't give a fuck about deodorant anymore honestly.
But now that I think of it, I got above average immune system for sure. Never knew the correlation 👀 til now! Interesting stuff.
Yeah, that's why this idea is stupid
One confounding factor that would have effected the results is diet. If one person ate healthy food and drank a lot of water that day, but another person ate smelly food and didn't hydrate properly, their smell could be considerably stronger.
i love how whenever a guy says their faourite t shirt the girl's face is like
"oh i see how it is im not good enough for you well then i guess you just think i smell"
I just take my sweaty gym gonch and wear them right on my head when I go out to the club, works everytime
I wonder how many relationship ending fights were started due to this test.
thats what i thought- the guy who was picked as being most attractive by the girls seemed a lot healthier and stronger than the others when he was talking
I've watched a few of these videos now, and every time he says 'But first, here is Kat' I hear 'Here's a cat'.
this is like bio class all over again
The 80% = *statistics* 😆 the total is always 100%. To find percentiles you can use the mean / average to calculate it to find ranking. I won't go into detail but percentage is the same logic as finding 50% of $42.50
Correct me if I am wrong.... But there are 5 men and 5 women... How did they manage to get 70% of women were right? Did they break one in half?
Congrats you won comment of the day!
guy @ 6:56 looks scared !
I think it depends on if the partner wears a lot of fragrance so you never really hone in on their natural odor. You also need a specific time because for females it does change with cycles, but the component of an individuals scent is very unique to them no two are alike. They are inherited from both parents and yes they do control it. Though nowadays, we wage war on any kind of funk or off putting odor.
I can't decide if that's Daenerys Targaryen in the opening of the video or not...
Why is Charlie never there in person..?
Your smell can be changed by different factors. How healthy you are or What have you been eating. Its not just genectics
almost all of them said that 3 was familiar. translation: all of them are cheating on each other
Wait, if there were 5 girls how did they get an accuracy rate of 70 percent?
I just noticed that. Something is wrong.
Vishal Pendse She said "almost" 70 percent.
does this mean if we all stopped using deodorant or perfume we could find a partner easier
They didn't tell us which girl's tshirt was the one chosen the most though.
I wish they would have done this experiment with shirts people had just worn not like sweated in so it would just be their natural sent. Then asking if you were attracted to the smell didn't just mean which didn't smell bad.
there were only five female test subjects for the smell test, but the results stated that 70% of them were able to identify their man's scent. that would mean that 3 and 1/2 women were able to identify their man
+Aidan Rosenau she said almost 70%
+Basic Bird but 3/5 would be 60 percent and 4/5 would be 80, there's no reason to round.
Aidan Rosenau yeah they just wanted to make it seem more impressive
yayy! by looks alone and mannerisms alone, i guessed the nicest smelling shirt would be Ross.
The smell of attraction -- eat broccoli and beans, wash it down with copious amounts of milk, allow to brew in your digestive system for a day, and unleash the end product! That's your smell of attraction right there! LOL!
6672rock how about people who eats a lot of spices
This is a phenomena called "histocompatability" if people want to google for more info.
There have been several experiments which I've read about which "support" their hypothesis (tested on hundreds of women), I don't think a youtube show would have the time/money to invite dozens of couples over and pay for their paintballs, furthermore I don't think the viewers would have the time to watch all of those people make guesses.
HOW DO YOU GET 70% IF THERES ONLY FIVE GIRLS?
"ALMOST"
+Alana 1101 Maths.
At 4:30, females are not suppose to sweat? And what's pride got to do with it?
Once again I am shocked at the way Science of Attraction is going about things.
Why on earth was it necessary to have them do paintballing? That was a fantastic way to completely contaminate the smells with the smell of mud (which was even pointed out by one of the girls). Why not just put them all on treadmills for 15 minutes?
These results are completely useless because no thought was put into genuine scientific testing. Why is there never a control group too?
I was wondering on that too. It is amazing that they conclude so easily when they have only 5 test samples. You obviously can't conclude anything out of 5 samples. Then they give us 70% result. Funny
:O kat and Charlie mc donnell! I just started watching his videos last month! Had no idea he was on anything to do with derren! :D
Ever heard of something called converting numbers?
Enlighten me, how would you convert either 4/5 or 3/5 to 70%?
So we're all essentially attracted to immune systems?
That's weird because you can't see their immune system and they can't see yours
I love the smell of my boyfriends “body odor”. I stick my nose straight into it and take a big whiff and I swear to god it like gets me high.
Are you a robot or something?
My bf loves mine, especially after the gym and if I've missed a few showers
And why do they show Kat looking away from the camera we see so often? I don't think she knows where she should be looking?
only began watching these because i saw charlie
your comment matches your name perfectly
Make a video where couples have to identify their partners by only touching their hands. No speaking or looking, just touching hands. It would be interesting
I like science, Charlie and loooove - I like this video!
science needs more than 5 people and mud to conclude what people are attracted to
So I was watching "My Strange Addiction" and I saw this, and was like Okay cool. I clicked on it and the lady was like "Let's go to Charlie" and I was like "Charlie? Charlie? CHARLIE MCDONNELL?!" So that surprised me lol
2:40 ...wow major fail
Isn't it possible that some people didn't work as hard as the others, so they didn't sweat as much? It's like asking "which pile of poo would you most like to eat?" Of course you'll pick the one that's the smallest pile.
the 70% wouldn't come from the 5 samples directly it depends on the amount of people more than in the number of samples... just like if you have 5 choices and 100 people, if 70 people choose the same sample it would be the most liked with a 70% of the total of votes
Who else is here for their psychology class? 🙋♀️
Since we are attracted to different genetic makeups, that might be why I'm attracted to Asian guys. xD
@Richard Smith : the sample was mix of whole and half people so ...3.5 girls correctly identified their partners ?!!? :-P
I'm hoping they did the experiment with multiple groups of five couples and are reporting mean success rate while showing only one group for illustrative purposes
The experiment looks like a scene from the movie Saw.
At her perfume statistic: per what???? LABEL YOUR AXES!!!!!
I think the girls are always wearing some kind of perfume deodorant or just finish showering making them never smelling like themselves making their partner unsure of what they even smell like
they must all have broken up that day, after realizing
Number 3 killing it
Even with millions of people, some people may never get into a relationship. We are not much more different than any other animal or organism on the planet. We are not that much more special or loving than other animals. Unless we can one day seperate ourselves from our biological roots and have 100% free will, there will always be people who suffer from severe loneliess and chronic social isolation.
I would probably join this experiment as an excuse to play Paintball 😂
@MsLaurenPanda The whole point of being a vegan is not eating anything processed -_-
Not that that matters, i eat normal food and smell good naturally and so do most other people. What you eat really doesnt matter. Especially as far as smells go.
Amy's like a model!!!
I find Kat's Barbie tank top a distraction haha
its funny how they make something good and drop the series especially when there is a subtle demand for more shows. There will only be twelve. The last one they did was the science of scams that that was only twelve as well.
it is after all a show, and not a full blown study. And as such, I treat it as such anyway. A bit of infotainment!
one girl got cut in half in a saw accident while filming
Me: watching the video and eating my pear normally
Me at 3:39: stops chewing and mind goes blank
I was NOT expecting to find our old red-haired Charlie in this video at all. Like if my brother casually walked out of my bedroom closet and acted as though nothing was strange about it.
OMG WHUT. CHARLIE'S IN THIS? YAAAY!
You forgot about nutrition. Asians are now quickly breaching the height gap.
0:28
top row from the left: Yes, No, Maybe
2nd row from left: No, yes
3rd row: Yes, No, No
4th row: No, No, No
5th row: No, Maybe, Yes, No
Are they Australian or British?
she said "almost" so technically it could be anywhere near 70 percent.. lol
I think they are also calculating the shirts they are most attracted to....
Definately the accent. She also reminds me of cat from Red Dwarf!
BRO GIVE THE KIDS THEIR OWN SHOW IT’S JUST... WEIRD
"Accuracy of almost 70%"? WTH? The sample size is only 5, so it has to be a multiple of 20%.
I dont agree with that. I like it when people smell the same as me. Because I'm more used to the smell.
Doing this in front of their partners probably confounds the results...
thumbs up if u did smell urself after watching this video!!
Charlie, you good-looking ginger you.
