Non-pheromonal signals by ovulatory phase women

[jvkohl]

Concealed ovulation is consistently used by psychologists to shift the focus from the influence of

pheromones and hormones on behavior to a focus on visual stimuli and conscious choice. Here is another article that

integrates the biology and psychology of mate signaling and mate choice.

"... Haselton and colleagues said

their findings disproved the conventional wisdom that women are unique among animals in concealing, even from

themselves, when they are most

fertile."

Excerpt from the journal article preprint (i.e., proof copy).
Martie G. Haselton et al., Ovulatory

shifts in human female ornamentation: Near ovulation, women dress to impress, Hormones and Behavior (2006),

doi:10.1016/j.yhbeh.2006.07.007

"...our results appear to provide strong objective evidence of changes in

women's overt, observable behaviors associated with ovulation. In contrast to subtle changes in facial

appearance... and body scents... variation in women's selfgrooming and ornamentation behaviors are perhaps the

most readily available cues to ovulation and associated shifts in female motivation available to male partners. They

may therefore be responsible, in part, for changes in relationship dynamics across the cycle, such as ovulatory

increases in men's mate retention efforts.... The ornamentation effect is one of the most striking pieces of

evidence that ovulation in humans is not fully concealed."

you are posting very nice pheromone

research articles.

would you post articles concerning to the affect of pheromones on various races??,
i can't

seem to find relevant information on the

net.

There are no articles

that I know about. When I have mentioned the topic it has been in conjunction with various readings from books (with

the exception of one magazine "National Geographic"). Commenting on the differences and citing others is much safer

than having such comments attributed to me--eventually, like others who comment about racial differences in

anything, I'd get branded as racist.

SCIENTISTS are analysing love

and sexual attraction to identify what makes us fall for

someone.

Interesting article that tries

to summerize what causes attraction action...

You can't please everybody, Signor

JVK, but you know that. Besides, and most IMPORTANTLY ... it would be thoughts/info coming from an expert and

respected racist. :box: :thumbsup: :lol: :run:

Expertise is good; respect is good. For a good example of an expert and respected racist,

google J. Phillipe Rushton. Even he did not want to delve into the potential controversy of racial differences in

pheromones--after a conversation I had with him during a 1995 symposium. A wise decision on his part, I

think.
