Eating Garlic Makes Men Smell More Attractive: Study

When I heard of this study, I quickly made myself a guinea pig, and went into a spree of garlic eating.

The following morning, I wanted to whisper to a colleague in the office and instead of giving me her ears literally, she avoided me.

“Did you eat garlic?” she asked in raw disgust

“Yes,” I simpered, how on earth did you know”

“What a question…garlic smells like hell, is no secret”, she quickly excused myself, as she struggled to be polite.

And when I attempted kissing my wife, after some days, she backed off. It was when she revealed to me, she had been tolerating my presence, that I oozed of garlic smell, and she did not say it with any fancy.

All my life, I always hated the smell of garlic, especially in my secondary school where I had some Indian friends, that I could not face, as they spoke and had thought it was just a phobia, but my experiment, left me scratching my head.

If consuming garlic, could make a man, more attractive by matter of body odour, then Indians and Italians, will definitely come tops. I wonder, how many men, have been attracted to a man, because his body odour stems from garlic? Will any woman in all honesty buy her man, a garlic laced perfume to keep up, with the attractive smell she might find all too swooning to? perhaps as my fellows come out openly gay, we should try and an mathematical link to it.

Sometimes, some research makes me uncomfortable, and leaves me wondering what they were thinking of, or the very essence of the study.

I had to forgive the researchers when I was made to understand that  “the study concludes that body odor, in contrast to breath odor, is positively affected by garlic and that these two sources of odor should be strictly differentiated. As breath odor plays an important factor in intimate relationships further studies may be carried out.”

If further study was to be carried out, why was the result released. Garlic has become so popular, as its immense health benefits are not in doubt. However, for a man to be found more attractive just by the smell of garlic as body odour, will take a long time coming, except the ladies, think otherwise.
