Have you ever met a perfect stranger and felt like you 'clicked' almost immediately? Well, that feeling of chemistry might actually be chemistry.
An Israeli study recruited twenty pairs of same-sex, platonic friends who said they clicked when they met.Using an electronic nose , the study concluded that the pairs of friends smelled more similar than randomly paired strangers.sniff each other to decide whether to play with, attack, or run away from a strange animal.
In the main experiment, 20 pairs of friends were asked to wash with unscented soap, avoid foods like curry and garlic, and sleep in a separate bed from their partner. In this experiment, the volunteers and the eNose both detected more similarities between the friends than the strangers. And that's not where the research ended, either. The team also wanted to test if they could use smell similarities between complete strangers to predict whether they would click when they first met.
