Found this study when searching for stuff to put into my thread on attractive men naturally smelling better and thus being perceived better, but this is so brutal it deserves its own thread.
Testosterone level changes after perceiving the body odour of a possible rival in human males: the role of facial symmetry
JFL. Not only does this study show that, yes, facial symmetry/attractiveness correlates with body odour, and not only does it prove that our bodies can tell which people have symmetrical/attractive faces and which ones don't just by their smell, but our bodies even react differently based on what type of a person they smell. When an attractive guy smells an unattractive guy, without even seeing him, just by the unattractive guy's smell his body can say that the guy is unattractive so it lowers its production of testosterone, because the attractive guy isn't going to need it, because the unattractive guy it smells definitely isn't going to compete for Stacy's attention and affection with him.
This is so brutal lmao.
Testosterone level changes after perceiving the body odour of a possible rival in human males: the role of facial symmetry
An individual’s body odour is a characteristic that is used to obtain information about conspecifics. However, to our knowledge the role of body odour and the degree of facial symmetry on testosterone changes among men as indicators of possible rivals has not been investigated yet. A group of 113 men were photographed to obtain their degree of facial symmetry, i.e., the small random deviations in facial bilateral traits. They smelled and assessed the odour of men with different grades of facial symmetry, and donated two saliva samples (pre- and post-stimulus sample) to measure the change in their testosterone levels.
We found that testosterone levels decreased in symmetrical men who perceived the odour of asymmetrical men. Our results suggest that men could perceive characteristics in other men that are highly valued by women through odour to identify possible rivals, and that the observed decrease in testosterone levels could be related to an inhibition of competitive behaviours.
