A few weeks ago I confessed that I love sniffing my husband’s armpits.
The internet responded with:
“WAIT. I DO THIS TOO.”
Naturally, I went down a research rabbit hole.
Apparently women rank smell as more important than men do when choosing a partner.
Apparently women use scent cues more than men.
And apparently women who are more satisfied with their partner’s scent also report higher relationship satisfaction.
So what I’m hearing is…
I’m not weird.
I’m conducting highly sophisticated relationship research. 🧐
Please tell me I’m not alone.
🫠 = you love your partner’s smell
🚩 = we’re all completely unhinged
