STINKY TRUTH: ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE SMELL BETTER - UNCOVERING THE GENETIC LINK Introduction For over 15 years, my personal anecdotal research has revealed a striking correlation: physically attractive individuals tend to have more tolerable body odor than those less attractive. This phenomenon suggests that body odor repulsiveness is inversely proportional to physical attractiveness. Putting it plainly, the prettier you are, the less you smell. But what drives this connection? The Genetic Foundation Our facial features, or phenotypes, are determined by genetics. Similarly, the microbiome on our skin, responsible for body odor, is influenced by our immune system and genetics. It is quite possible that this shared genetic basis underlies the observed correlation between physical attractiveness and body odor. Key Factors 1. Genetic influence on facial features and immune system 2. Microbiome composition and diversity 3. Immune system regulation of skin health The S
