/sci/ - Science & Math

yea dude, hurry and rub my balls all over your face for science.

Seems like really good troll.

I remember hearing somewhere that the sweat smell does make you more attractive to the opposite gender, before bacteria has it's way with it anyway.
Storing sweat. That would be a hive of foul smelling bacteria would it not?
Correct me if I'm wrong because this isn't at all 'my area'.

>>5516866
>That would be a hive of foul smelling bacteria would it not?

It would

>>5516866
You might be able to kill the bacteria using alcohol.

As for OP, another significant probability besides complete fabrication is the placebo effect (plus confirmation bias and bragging). Confidence is a highly important factor in courtship, and we have no control data.

>>5516539
>Telling /r9k/ that rubbing ball-sweat on themselves will make girls like them.

Something smells fishy about this.

While this:

Might be somewhat related, in this particular case i would bet that it's mostly the placebo effect gained from confidence.

>>5516887

I wonder if there's alcohol in his cologne and if that could kill the bacteria.
Either way, it would make for a pretty interesting experiment... To watch, of course. I wouldn't be first in line to rub ball sweat on myself.

I know that females can smell out various information regarding biological compatibility from sweat, but that's unconscious and I doubt it would have such a strong effect.
What I find interesting is how he says every male was visibly disgusted by it.

I've thought about this before.
There have been times when running around organising parties or socials where girls have said 'you smell nice' after I've been sweating a shit load. Similar things have happened when walking home from the gym and speaking to girls I know in the street.

I always put it down to confidence. Running around, doing exercise pumps you up, relaxes your mind etc.

I'm with this guy:
>>5516977
The 'male disgust' thing is more interesting.

>>5516995
Sweating males do tend to smell disgusting. Perhaps females experience it differently?

>>5517078
Yeah, I mean it's like that whole 'omg do u see da same colours as me?' shit. Regardless of what they smell, I'd be more interested in whether or not its related to confidence or smell attraction and whether or not it's concious.

There is strong experimental evidence to suggest that MHC constitution is detectable by scent. In a famous experiment, women were given unwashed T-shirts to smell, and asked how attractive they thought the owners of the clothes were. The researchers found that women consistently selected males with diverse MHC genes in relation to MHC genes of the selectors.

>>5516892
This

I think we're dealing with some bullshit here

>>5516539

If anything the incredibly hilarious idea of talking to people while covered in your own ball sweat would make you so jovial it would come off as charisma.

I can imagine some people be attracted to how crazy you'd have to be to even consider something like this a rational idea. All the same as I said you would have to, and excuse the figure of speech, have the balls to do this in the first place so you're probably already pretty confident in yourself.

Well that or desperate.

There seems to not be any valid control group. OP is comparing "normal OP" vs "healthy, regular workout, with collogne (and some sweat) OP"

poor robots, someone should warn them :(

>alcohol from cologne
>pheromones
Doesn't alcohol kill everything?

No women have posted in this thread.
Nobody in this thread ever thought to ask a woman if she can recognize the smell of dirty underwear.
Tfw someone tries this and only attracts the attention of some creepy butch homosexuals.

>>5516539
>The groin region contains apocrine sweat glands

So does the entire axilla, although I do say it is well convent to tie a bag to your sac.

Case study if you will /sci/. I have sudomotor neuropathy and as a result have excessive apocrine secretion. I remember this one time very clearly in my youth when arriving into college after sweating heavily playing soccer (I was probably the only person around who was sweating-is covered in sweat when I arrived inside) and this girl was eyeing fucking me like crazy while I was getting my stuff for class and she introduced herself and looked giggity as fuck.

TL;DR you mirin MHC complexes brah

inb4 someone who is not lazy as fuck puts some effort into making a genetically modified MHC perfume and makes bank.

>>5517155
Pheromones aren't alive though, they are just another group of chemical compounds.

>>5517155
>Doesn't alcohol kill everything?
The alleged 'Pheromones' would just be organic chemicals, I doubt they would react with ethanol in any way, but it is possible that they would be degraded by ethanol.

I'm not sure how you would extract ball-sweat and mix it into a solution of ethanol before much bacteria has a chance to eat it all up and shit it out again.

>>5517179
Shouldn't you be in your "lab"?

>>5517181
Just finished. I already told you that the building locks up completely at 4pm on Sundays.

Being an underaged b& has it's advantages. I can use my elementary school's wind tunnel lab for my dynamics research on a sunday without anyone getting in my way.

>>5517179

Alcohol can still denature proteins

Sounds like a completely uncontrolled experiment. Try it with a little garbage juice and see what happens. Plus, he's using himself as a subject. If he thinks shwettyballs will make him more confident, he'll change his behavior.

0/10 would not collaborate

>>5517252
but look at the way they glisten

>>5517186
>I can use my elementary school's wind tunnel lab for my dynamics research on a sunday without anyone getting in my way.
sounds really boring

A couple of years ago I wanted to collect several tens of ml of my sweat from armpits and genital area (store it frozen until necessary amount will be produced), extract many times with diethyl ether, remove the ether at room temp. on a rotovap, dissolve the residue (it will be no more then several mg I think) in, say,. 5ml oxygen-free THF, apply to my neck, wait to THF to fully evaporate and go talk to girls.
Why THF? Skin after ether and ethylacetate is a little smelly even after they fully evaporate. Lower alcohols can denaturate peptides. Dioxane is not healthy.
Only feeling like an idiot stoped me from doing all that and that's a bad thing because a true scientist must never afraid to look like an idiot, not to mention to only feel for himself like one.
I think the guy is a clever troll but this manipulations with a sum of feromones aren't insane.

>>5516539
Obvious troll is obvious. That's not how u get girls.

Just the fact that this guy is on /r9k/ speaks volumes about him.

Oh God please help me. I don't have long before they find me again. I tried this and now all the women around me want to suck my dick. God no they've found me no no not again hghgjhdfghjflgrtirufvnkfnvh

I don't understand why all men seemed disgusted by him. Shouldn't some homosexual men have been attracted to his eau de ballswette?

>>5517452
The law of unintended consequences!

>>5516892
>Something smells fishy about this

he said ball sweat not vagina sweat

> three parts ball sweat to one part cologne
> I then sprayed myself
must have been a very large volume of ball sweat, certainly more than pictured in the OP. What's pictured in the OP would likely not even account for the dead volume of a normal spray bottle. Maybe one squirt.

>>5516899
He posted that he was using alcohol to kill bacteria. I'd imagine that freezing would also be acceptable.

This works only around spring time though. You better start fucking doing it before summer comes.

>>5517452

Men and women are just different. Gay men don't react the same as women do.

>>5517222

pheromones aren't proteins

it would only (marginally) work if the women were ovulating

When my ex was a little kid, she used to LOVE licking off her Dads sweat after he'd gone for a jog. Similarly she'd love it when I'd sweat and was just filthy in bed. Mind you, she also used to love squeezing spots on my back and once stuck a bunch of my pubes in a bag and labelled it EXHIBIT #1. So maybe she was just mental. Forget I said anything

>>5517652
> ex
why, she sounds fun

>>5517125
He's on /r9k/, I think we know what "normal OP" was.

>>5517652
>my ex
>used to love squeezing spots on my back
Same thing.

This is absolutely bullshit, i'll tell you why
>I noticed that many of them had dilated pupils
i really doubt the pupils would noticeably dilate due to a smell
>who all ranged from 7/10 to 9/10.
so, none of them were 4? 5? not even 6? why would that happen if it wasn't bullshit?

For the same reason he didn't approach women in the first place i.e. lack of confidence?

As for dilated pupils, can often happen if you maintain eye contact with someone for a length of time, especially if you are stimulated.

A subtle signal that is sometimes detected only subconsciously and is seldom realized by the sender is where the pupil gets larger (dilates) or contracts.
Sexual desire is a common cause of pupil dilation, and is sometimes called 'doe eyes' or 'bedroom eyes' (magazine pictures sometimes have deliberately doctored eyes to make a model look more attractive). When another person's eyes dilate we may be attracted further to them and our eyes dilate in return. Likewise, when their pupils are small, ours may well contract also.
A fundamental cause of eye dilation is cognitive effort. When we are thinking more, our eyes dilate. This helps explain 'doe eyes' as when we like others people, looking at them leads to significant thinking about how we may gain and sustain their attention.

>>5517652
>she also used to love squeezing spots on my back
My gf does that too! She also likes my sweat.
