What is evolutionary Psychology?
Hey, holmes! I studied Psychology in college. I had Industrial Psychology, Social Psychology, and basic Psychology. I burned out before tackling "statistics".
What do the proponents of Evolutionary Psychology assert about their field of study? Why do they believe that it IS Science?

Laws Of Attraction? No Sweat!
I dont know much about scientific studies, but it wouldseem to me that the sscent/symettry link may be do to the simple fact that people with desireable symmetry are usually more athletic and active than non-symmetrical ones. In other words, buff guys sweat more, and lazy guys eat doritos and watch TV. While I know of no conclusions, I would guess that more activity produces a cleaner sweat with a different scent.
I used to call girls that always tried to snag my attractive friends "breeders" because I knew that they subconsciously wanted a baby from the guy. And the guys whom were "snagged" always became whipped and never did anything with the crew anymore...
Kinda irritated me...maybe I missed the scent.
