The Rhesus factor is a blood antigen first discovered in rhesus monkeys, but also found in all primates and many humans. Your presence, or lack thereof, of the Rhesus factor is denoted by the "+" or "-" after the letter(s) of your blood type (AB+, for example). An Rh- woman pregnant with the Rh+ child of an Rh+ man runs the risk of miscarriage, as her body may produce antibodies to the foreign antigens of the fetus. Here is a clear example of biological incompatibility between mates.
For a long time, I've wondered if there are subtle signals pointing to such incompatibilities—things that we overlook because we can't make sense of them. Is it enough for us to find mates that are intelligent and attractive and possess similar values, or are we unwittingly also looking for something less tangible and purely chemical? And where are the signs of compatibility? Should I disregard my penchant for dark-haired men as a superficial preference, or should I accept that I am drawn to individuals of a certain complexion because of something my body knows that my mind doesn't? Maybe this visual preference protects me from choosing an incompatible mate.
Maybe scent is just as important as personality and appearance when locating an ideal mate. Maybe years from now, after the power of body odor has been more extensively researched, our way of thinking in regards to scouting the opposite sex will have changed completely. Maybe online personals will read, "I'm 28, I can make almost anyone laugh, I love baseball, jazz, and old westerns, and I smell like sweaty balls dipped in old milk."
Maybe the most important signals can't be picked up with any of the five senses. Maybe pheromone magic isn't just a marketing ploy by crappy perfume manufacturers. Maybe there is a sixth sense, an indescribable way of determining the chemical relationship between you and your potential match.
Maybe I, being Rh-, am a product of a mightier, more intelligent, superhuman race, able by means of some bizarre scientific phenomenon to occasionally interbreed with members of a lesser species, but still in every way superior to morons descended from monkeys.
Just some theories.

They think kissing is a smell/taste test of the other person that tests compatibility.

Hey Lisa?
Why do girls get mad when they wake up and I'm secreting on them? You're just a bad person and will die alone <3

Relax. I wasnt "playing the race card" but just reminding you that some people might not
think your joke was very funny. I hope you are able to sleep better at night knowing that I, an anonymous stranger, dont actually think you are racist.
Every word or concept breaks down at the boundaries of its definition.
But species holds up pretty well and is not just a random word.
The mule is a bad example since it is sterile. You have to be able to keep breeding for the species to blend. I am betting there are almost no(or even zero) species that can successfully interbreed for more than a couple generations. This makes species a very well defined concept with significant real world implications.

It's "pheromones," Pepe Le Bitch, and of course the power of bodily odors and secretions is old news to the French.

pheronomones do play an active role in seduction, that's nothing new.
this is stupid.

Another thing, don't play the race card with me. Like many Americans, I have a small percent of Native American heritage, which, if you want to get technical, makes me biracial.
Also, I'm well aware of the definition of a species, thank you. What about the mule--a cross between a donkey and a horse? Obviously these two species were similar enough to breed. "Species" is really just a word created by scientists.

I didn't say I was part of a superior race. I said I might be part of a superior *SPECIES*. Get it right! I've invented a whole new way to hate people--speciesism--and it's going to put racism, ageism, sexism, and all the other "ism's" to shame. "
Well I'm glad you got in on the ground floor. Maybe you can write a groundbreaking new book introducing your rEvolutionary ideas and make millions.
Just one small problem- if you can interbreed then you arent a species. But dont give up hope. If your superior "species" is disciplined enough to not interbreed for a few hundred thousand years then they have a shot at becoming a real species. Looks like you might want to study up on mind and group control also in case the women are tempted to stray.

I dont think the Basques are that superhuman. Their greatest achievement is being some sort of genetic anomaly. Historically they havent done much.
I realize you are kidding, but being in college you might want to be a little careful about joking that you are part of a superior race that just happens to be west european caucasian.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basque_people
While not necessarily likely, the Basques might have more Neanderthal genes than most modern humans.
I'll leave it to research this if you are interested.

Maybe you should stop reading into things so much. Analyzing and re-analyzing data is good for nothing short of a headache.

You read my advert. Why didn't you call?
And the Baseball was supposed to read 'Face-Balls', jazz 'Jizzing' and Old Westerns was 'Old Women' the rest is fine though.

Intresting thoughts, but mostly inaccurate drivel. I actually know more couples with different blood types then I do with similar blood types. Blood type really only matters when it comes to procreation and the gay population is a good display of how many people don't procreate.

i'm O+ my wife is O-. we've had 2 kids, she got the shot both times but they both were doing fine anyway.
however, on occasion, i have been known to flaunt my sour milk smelling balls to random passers-by if i suspect they are not the same blood type as myself

Im O-neg... which means I can give anyone my blood, but can only have o-neg for myself. Your idea that this is because Im from a superhuman race, that didnt want to have offspring with lower A's, B's, AB's and positives is good. Im signing up to it, and will tell my doctor.

I agree with Beano-big tits is important.
When you get to the point that you can have any tits you want you start to doubt what's important but at that point you're just getting stupid about the whole thing.
