If you keep your body nice and groomed, and it still hasn't translated into finding a boyfriend . . . maybe it's time to go the exact opposite route.

Des Tobin is a professor of cell biology at the University of Bradford in England — and he says it might help you attract a guy if you stop shaving your armpits.

He says: "In other mammals, body hair is very important for dispersing odors, such as pheromones, [to] help you attract mates — shaving your underarm hair could mean those odors are not dispersed into the air so quickly."

Of course, that's all well and good scientifically,  but he didn't talk about what could go wrong after someone is attracted to your pheromones, then spots your hairy armpits.
