Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The women didn't know that there were t-shirts in there. They were told to smell the contents of each container and asked to say which ones they would choose, and which they would not choose, if they had to smell them all of the time

Given this directive, I'd parse it out to "best." Not best for making babies with me, just generic "best."

Was there any distinction for women who were also choosing their own HLA? And has this been done with guys?

The women were, on average, choosing their own HLA too. But if you divided out the part of thier own HLA that came from their fathers and the part that came from their mothers it was only the part from their fathers that determined their choices.

I don't think that it has been done with guys.

If I only had a brain...

Guys only smell T-shirts when they're deciding whether to do the laundry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hmm.

Wanna see it with guys. The only smell studies I can think of are ones with women.

Guys only smell T-shirts when they're deciding whether to do the laundry.

Am I supposed to have shirt smelling in my calendar as a regular, non-laundry, thing to do?

Well, the point is, if you sat a guy down and told him to sniff random T-shirts, I think he'd say "Are you INSANE?"

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hmm. My father is bald, short (5'5"), and has dark coloring. Most of the guys I've dated have been short and dark-haired, but the shortness could just as easily be explained by normal-height guys not wanting to date 4'10" me, or that I feel more comfortable dating someone who I can have a conversation with while standing up without having to crane my neck.

a) the women didn't know they were smelling shirts
b) many women I know would look at you funny too

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I would not like to smell my husband "all of the time" because sometimes he smells like ass. But when he's got the good-smelling man smell going, there is almost nothing better. If this is the HLA, I say "God bless it!"
