The second group skydived for the first time. They had two collections of sweat, right? They had treadmill sweat and fear sweat. Then they had unsuspecting participants in an fMRI machine smell These two sweat samples. I had no idea what they were smelling. Gross, right? I hope they paid them well. So gross. People who smelled the fear sweat caught the fear.

They smelled this random thing and their own amygdala began to light up. They began to feel afraid. So sometimes when you're with someone and you're like, I just feel so uneasy, there's also this unreadable aspect, but I want you to listen to it because our brains are so smart. They are working to protect us. And so if you're like, I feel off, that's your alarm bells.

So much.

Oh, it's coming. The setties are coming. I cannot wait for these olfactory laughs.

I'm into it. I'm into it. Like if someone runs by me, I'm like... I want to smell them. I think it's important.

So all these studies are based on natural body scent. In these studies, they make them wear a plain white t-shirt. They don't let them wear deodorant or anything like that. So it's natural smell. I actually think that sometimes too much cologne or perfume is like masking. Like, I don't know if you've ever been with someone where you're like, whoa, it's too much. I don't like it.

I think in dating, actually, you should under-scent perfume.

Of course.

Of course.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I also think like I look at people pleasing as our deep desire to be liked. Yeah. It is so safe for us to be liked. And so when I look at the research, so research from Princeton University found that as humans, we are trying to answer two basic questions about other human beings. Can I trust you? And can I rely on you? We are constantly trying to assess people's warmth and competence.
