Oh Dear, What Would Miss Austen Say?

A friend sent me this link just now. I don't know if one should laugh or cry. Although I have always found Mr. Darcy to be a very manly man, I'm not sure I would name a urine pheromone after him, even if it does attract females unlike anything else. ;)

I guess it's the same for humans. We are attracted to different smells. I know I can (or could, since I am a happily married woman) diss a man simply because I don't like his aftershave.I have read or heard somewhere that we are attracted to different types of men on different times of our cycle. Around ovulation we are attracted to manly men, with the potential to breed awesome heirs, while around the period we are more attractive to caring, loving men who would provide and take care of the family.

On a funny note, the lead researcher is named Jane Hurst. Very suitable don't you think?
