I am F22 and my boyfriend is M23. I’ve wondered if this ability, if it exists, is subconscious or if men can actually notice it consciously. Like, is it more of a biological instinct thing, similar to how animals detect fertility, or could it just be subtle body language cues that men pick up on without realizing? And if it is smell-related, is it something science has proven, or is it more of a theory people believe in because of evolutionary ideas? I’m curious if other factors, like diet, health, or even stress, might change this supposed ‘signal’ women give off.
TLDR: I want to know if men can smell it when females are ovulating.
