Is this normal?

I've only had her (for 6 years now) so I have no way of knowing whether this is normal or not. She said she thinks all women are more or less attracted to it. Are your girlfriends attracted to it? If you are a woman, are you attracted to it?

I have no empirical data to support/debunk this, but I've heard that women can differentiate between shirts that guys have been working out in. It probably has some kind of pheromone in it or hormone that women are attracted to. I can't confirm this, but that's what I've read in some shitty magazines at least

This isn't one of the stranger things I've read on TL today. Hey smell is one of the strongest senses, so whatever works.

for some reason, this sounded wrong lol. Maybe I've been with her?

On a more serious note, I've never heard of someone being attracted to sweat before, interesting

I can't speak for women, but I know a lot of gay men like sweat smell. Different people also have different sweat smells as well, so it's kinda cool that she likes your sweat smell specifically.

when i took an intro psychology course, the grad student who was teaching the class talked about a study she had done where they had women rate attractiveness of sweat smells, and then rate their physical attraction towards different men, and she said that more often than not they were correlated.

I've *known* for a long time that this is something real.
A girl (or guy) likes someone else based on alot of points. body,attitude,mindset, clothes and also smell is a more important factor than many people may think.
Sweat smells are different for many people and it's even different in different areas. In this case, if you've been together for over 6 years, I would find it more unusual if she thinks you really stink than if she likes how you smell sweaty.

I also heard geological differences are also impacting smells.
For example; White girls will usually prefer white guys, and vice versa, due to smell.*

*(i have no data on this, just what I've heard a long time ago and I've always assumed this as fact, if someone could confirm this, it would be nice).

edit..... :

What Aiurz says aswell

Fun fact, sweat does not have any smell. Its the bacteria on your body generating that funk.

To clarify, I do not own her. I am not some fundamentalist muslim who owns his wife we're just together.

Not surprising. Male pheromones are a pretty powerful secondary sex characteristic, and the main pheromone involved in sweat odors, androstenol, is one of the scents found most attractive by women. There's a reason perfume companies use musk in their products.

Don't worry about it, man. It's completely and totally normal human behavior.
The room is ripe with the stench of bitches!

My wife smells like orange peel after a hard days work. We both recognise it and both think its disgusting, i have to run her a bath ASAP daily haha. Me on the other hand, she says i never smell so i guess thats good.

Being attracted to it is pretty awesome, roll with it!

studies have shown that the BO smells better the more different DNA you have. BUT birth control pills fucks up this.

Totally read that as "attracted to my sweet smell" and thought "uhh okay? good for you?" haha
But yes, I gotta agree with the pheromone.

its not unusual
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Yeah, just be glad she's attracted to you to begin with.

Edit: I don't mean for this post to come off as if I'm trying to bash you, just for the jokes.
