The men wore their T-shirts for 24 hours, and the women had to sniff them afterward. They were also asked to answer the following questions, "How much do you like/dislike this smell?" and "How sexy is this smell?"
The researchers found that single men's body odor was stronger for all women than men in a relationship.
Married participants also rated single men's faces as more masculine. Single was stronger for all women than men in a relationship. Married participants also rated single men's faces as more masculine.
According to scientist, women can identify single men because of testosterone levels. The higher the testosterone levels, the stronger the smell.
It may be advantageous for women from an evolutionary point of view to seek out single men, as they potentially have more resources and time to find the right partner.
