Hormones are weird. We can smell things we don't think we can smell.
Did you mean pheromones? There is no evidence that humans are affected by pheromones.

https://www.science.org/content/article/do-human-pheromones-actually-exist
On top of that, that research discounted 2 out of hundreds of possibilities.
Again, there is no evidence that pheromones affect humans. Just speculation and your baseless belief.
If we had a shred of evidence, corporations would be knocking themselves out trying to produce human pheromones. LOL, imagine a spray that makes you attractive.
No, the research I linked is evidence that pheromones affect humans. The evidence you present shows 2 specific hormones aren't them. Understand the difference.
No, it’s not. It’s just a long claim. It links to no studies showing any evidence.
Of course, if you actually have any evidence, the entire scientific world would love to see it. Because, until now, no such evidence exists.
Yes it is. Read the whole thing. The whole scientific world has seen it which is why the scientists you referenced themselves "believe human pheromones likely exist".
It really isn’t though. It’s just some writer making claims without any evidence to back it up. Nothing you say is gonna change that.
Best of luck

For anyone else that is interested in this and would like to read the actual study.
