Okay, that makes sense. The woman

needs to make sure she keeps the father of her children around for at least a while. So she needs to feel a

connection with him.

So the role of the feminine pheromone would not be exactly like the role of the male

pheromone, correct? At least the pheromones relating to male-female interaction.

A man would respond more to a

woman's pheromone signature if she were fertile, less if she were not.

A man would respond more to a woman's

pheromone signature if her immune system were different from his.

A man would respond more to a woman's

pheromone signature if she were not pregnant, less if she were.

Are these testable concepts? Have they been

tested?

I can see that women who use pheromone products would want to seem fertile, unpregnant, healthy, and

immunally distinct from as many men as possible.
