Scientists from the University of Western Australia reportedly claim some of the secrets of attraction appear to be hidden in certain immune system genes inherited from our parents.
They studied the DNA of almost 150 university students and found that a woman’s appearance or sweat contains clues to the genetic make-up of her immune system.
In the study participants, including aspiring doctors and engineers, were asked to provide a DNA sample as well as completing a detailed questionnaire about their love lives.
The DNA was then scrutinised for variations in genes known to influence the immune system, where the more diverse these genes, the stronger a person’s defence against disease.
The result showed that women with the most varied major histocompatibility (MHC) genes, had the most sexual partners.
There was, however, no link between a man’s MHC genes and his success with women.
