From what I gather and have experienced pheromones have a very marginal effect on most humans overall but occasionally
you will find the odd individual that you have a heightened sensitivity to, or a person that is just more receptive to their effect.
I'd never really noticed them but then I had a certain girlfriend once who had a sent that was almost narcotic to me.

All research suggests that in humans, they don't. As far as small relates to attraction, the makeup of your immune system (and the markers that go with that) is the important thing. But, that said, visual cues are far more important initially, because those often relate to immune markers. This is why exotic-looking people are generally viewed as being more attractive than locals, no matter where you go.

I think perspiration functions as a pheromone to humans.

In my shrimp aquarium the females have molted and are now releasing sexual pheromones... To say the least, the males find that very interesting.

Looked into it trying to get laid. Pheremones have been hypothesized in humans by some people to explain certain behaviors, but not one pheremone has been discovered. Theres still colognes that say they've found it and its in their overpriced shitty cologne, though.

This sounds plausible. It's strange that male sweat tends to evoke disgust in other men (maybe also women. It's outside of my area of expertise).
