Genetic Matchmaking is the idea of matching couples for romantic relationships based on their biological compatibility. The initial idea was conceptualized by Dr. Wekekind through their famous "sweaty t-shirt" experiment. Males were asked to wear T-shirts for two consecutive nights, and then females were asked to smell the t-shirts and rate the body odors for attractiveness. Human body odor has been associated with the human leukocyte antigens (HLA) genomic region. They discovered that females were attracted to men who had dissimilar HLA alleles from them. Furthermore, these females reported that the body odors of HLA-dissimilar males reminded them of their current partners of ex-partners providing further evidence of biological compatible.
