Pheromone parties are on the rage and are becoming more and more talked about. These parties capture much interest, as to some, they fall under the categories of being extremely unusual or taboo and maybe even weird. Whether it is interesting or just weird, these parties have received much publicity in recent years. So what is it all about? Well, firstly, Pheromones are chemicals that are released from the body, which influences another person’s behavior and even their moods. This chemical is usually discussed in reference to creatures in the animal kingdom. From ants to lions, pheromones are said to be what encourages them, on their quest to selecting the right mate! So why shouldn’t we as humans give this concept a try!

Hold your horses, before you jump on board and say, “yea, this sounds like a good idea”; here is what attending one of these parties would require. There is a certain technique about this. You are asked to sleep in a clean t shirt for three days before attending the party, and then on the morning of the party you should bag it and place it in the freezer to preserve your pheromone “scent”. When at the party, these t shirts will be placed in bags and labeled with green and pink stickers according to gender, pink for the women and green for the men. The attendees are then allowed to smell the other bags, and a photo is taken with you holding the numbered bag and projected on a screen at the party, this will aid in the decision making. If you smell something you like, then you may have a chance at connecting with that person at the party.

Most of our connections as humans, are formed based on sight or other materialistic reasons, this practice forces persons to rely on the “animal within” as they depend on their noses to make a decision for them. These parties encourage the participants to not focus on materialistic and intellectual reasons for mate selection but to depend on a more romantic form of mate selection.

Seeing many people from all walks of life, people who understand the supposed science behind the pheromone concept, to people who are just interested in new dating styles, these parties are a great addition to the world of matchmaking. Who knows, attending one of these parties, and using your natural instincts may just help you to find a suitable lifelong mate!
