Love might be blind but it certainly can smell!

You must have selected your guy/girl based on a thousand reasons.. Maybe,he's funny..he's cool..smart. But, here is the truth. You have selected your partner for reasons that you can't even understand or putting it otherway, you are just following your brain's interpretation of chemical compatibility.

Pheremones are odourless chemicals that are released through sweat. Nose has this special gift to smell Pheremone and send signals to brain. The brain interprets the smell and reads information about the opposite sex's immunity system. The brain will then compare your immunity system with the opposite sex's and will decide if you should "Love" him/her!!!By doing this, it makes sure the offspring can have a strong immunity against more number of ailments!.

A research conducted by a team of scientists in Switzerland confirmed this. They selected 4 women and asked them to smell unwashed T-shirts. All the four women seemed attracted to the smell from a T-chirt that emitted Pheremones that had contrasting immunity system than theirs'.

Well, that's just one in few hundreds of harmones that determines how you should feel about the person. Another chemical called Dopamine is secreted when someone falls in "love" and this harmone also is sectreted when someone is on cocaine!. Answers from where you get the "Kick" right?. Every minute reactions such as "guts" till even "divorce" are influenced by chemicals and harmones inherently controlling human emotions. For instance, serotonin is responsible for the "fun" element when you are with your lover. When serotonin levels are lower than 40% of it's usual level, you lose interest in the relationship or it's gets depressing apparently for no social reasons other than chemical or harmonal imbalances.

For those people who were breaking their heads to understand why they always fail in chemistry practicals, it is probably because your brain had always been simply obsessed with Pheremones and was not willing to look at copper suplhate. Well, this also explains why guys who got Copper sulphate right are now single. Yes, Me :(
