Can you judge a man by his sweaty t-shirt? This study proves you can.
Researchers asked a group of women to smell a series of men’s sweaty t-shirts, and then rate them for intensity, pleasantness and sexiness (be careful what you sign up for?).

Sweat, it seems, is one of the ways we determine if he’s ‘the one.’ Gym, here we come!
