Advice for the guys:<p>Do a very light, low-intensity workout before you meet women. I'm talking about a light, 20-minute jog to break just a minimal sweat. On 80+ sunny days, a long walk is enough. Don't wash up.<p>You won't smell, because the quantity of sweat is small, but you'll be putting out pheromones, and this will help with the first-second attraction. Does it always work?
