News, Men lose their minds speaking to pretty women. (wife, love, attractive)

[JD59]

The research shows men who spend even a few minutes in the company of an attractive woman perform less well in tests designed to measure brain function than those who chat to someone they do not find attractive.

Researchers who carried out the study, published in the Journal of Experimental and Social Psychology, think the reason may be that men use up so much of their brain function or 'cognitive resources' trying to impress beautiful women, they have little left for other tasks.

This probably explains why men say the things they do at certain times.

I have two heads and only enough blood to run one at a time...its not my fault.

[Woof Woof Woof!]

This is why men say thing and why women get all upset and feel manipulated later. "But he said he loved me!"

It works in reverse too.

Also, did you know that men natuarally filter out certain noise pitches. So women when you start nabbing us about not listening, it isnt our fault...its yours.

Wouldn't that also imply that your penis doesn't function after taking a math test?

Hi fracturedman,

Interestingly, female voices are also harder to tell apart. Male voices seem to be more distinct. Radio stations usually opt for women with low voices and rarely put female shows in consecutive order.
