Not Only Does Pill Make Boobs Hurt, It Might Make Men-Taste Bad!

Well, this is certainly interesting, and definitely another argument that we really are more primitive than we think in the way that our instincts still guide us almost unseeingly and unknowingly, just as much as our conscious thoughts.  There has been debate over whether the pill might alter a woman’s attraction to men, and perception of which men might be the best mate for them, genetically speaking.  Now it appears that there is some proof that being on the birth control pill may affect who we choose as mates.

Women choose mates based on their “scent”, but it’s a scent at such a primitive and subconscious level that we aren’t really even consciously aware that there are reasons beyond looks that we are choosing these men.  Supposedly there are chemicals in a man’s sweat that women are greatly intuned to, and they let us know on a small scale how compatible that particular man is with us in a genetic way, meaning we can sense whether a man will produce strong offspring for us or not.

The birth control pill alters hormones in a woman’s body, and therefore may interfere with this delicate and discerning process, making a woman’s taste in men “skewed” and perhaps helping them to make the wrong decisions about which men will make the best mates for them on a genetically compatible level.

The problem is that women who are not on the pill tend to seek out men who are opposite of them in certain ways genetically which makes for better and stronger offspring, while women on the pill tend to seek men that are chemically and genetically similar to them, which can lead to weaknesses in the gene pool and produce weaker offspring.
