And your gut says, "I don't believe you". It is crucially important to trust your gut instinct. Not everyone can be trusted. Not everyone has your best interests at heart. Because you are hardwired to protect yourself, your unconscious mind will always be sending up signals, trying to warn you that there is a mismatch in what someone is saying and how they are saying it, or what their body language is doing.

Participants were then asked to rate the women on how competent, confident, and trustworthy they seemed. Results showed that participants rated the women lower on all measures when they smelled the stress-induced sweat. When they smelled the stress sweat that had been covered up with antiperspirant, they rated the women more positively. Read the original article on Business Insider UK.
