Men Sniff Tears For Science

A laboratory in Israel is spending its research grant on the very creepy task of harvesting the tears of sad women. According to Shani Gelstein, scientist and tear collector, men found pictures of women less sexually attractive just after smelling the tears of women.

Gelstein wouldn’t speculate on whether or not the men’s reactions were due to pheromones being released by the tears, but did say that the tears did contain meaningful chemical messages.

I have done similar research of my own and in a poll of all the women I have dated, all have found me considerably less sexually attractive when I’m weeping in front of them.
