Talking to an attractive woman really can make a man lose his mind, according to a new study. 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. The findings have implications for the performance of men who flirt with women in the workplace, or even exam results in mixed-sex schools. Women, however, were not affected by chatting to a handsome man. This may be simply because men are programmed by evolution to think more about mating opportunities. Psychologists at Radboud University in The Netherlands carried out the study after one of them was so struck on impressing an attractive woman he had never met before, that he could not remember his address when she asked him where he lived. Researchers said it was as if he was so keen to make an impression he 'temporarily absorbed most of his cognitive resources.' To see if other men were affected in the same way, they recruited 40 male heterosexual students. Each one performed a standard memory test where they had to observe a stream of letters and say, as fast as possible, if each one was the same as the one before last. The volunteers then spent seven minutes chatting to male or female members of the research team before repeating the test. The results showed men were slower and less accurate after trying to impress the women. The more they fancied them, the worse their score. But when the task was repeated with a group of female volunteers, they did not get the same results. Memory scores stayed the same, whether they had chatted to a man or a woman. In a report on their findings the researchers said: 'We conclude men's cognitive functioning may temporarily decline after an interaction with an attractive woman.' Psychologist Dr George Fieldman, a member of the British Psychological Society, said the findings reflect the fact that men are programmed to think about ways to pass on their genes. 'When a man meets a pretty woman, he is what we call 'reproductively focused'. 'But a woman also looks for signs of other attributes, such as wealth, youth and kindness. Just the look of the man would be unlikely to have the same effect.'

Take a deep breath and grow up, you silly asshole. You have no call to talk to me that way!
Excuse me? Where is the defense? I was objecting to your calls for censorship which I abhor. If you are turned from my friendship that easily then you were never a friend.
As a chronically doped-up hyena, of course you would, but you've never been noted for your credibility, have you? There is good news however - substance abuse clinics and sanitariums are awaiting your membership. ADVICE: Lay off the Vicodin/Gilbey's combo for a day of two, then whisk yourself away on your broom. Happy landing.
I think you may have confused targets. The Gilbey's Gal is the one who lied.
There is good news however - substance abuse clinics and sanitariums are awaiting your membership. ADVICE: Lay off the Vicodin Name calling is all you've got as usual. You need to go back to your real friends at LP, afterall there might be an anti Israel thread there that needs your Bible quotes.
Even sexual perverts can be fickle. You messed with it's addiction, it's most unpardonable sin. You do know it really hates women and uses the porno as power. It will only tolerate women as seen in pictures not in real life. Probably a mommy thing.
Are you denying that you're a "doped up hyena"? You can't prove otherwise by your silly, inane posting. You need to go back to your real friends at LP, afterall there might be an anti Israel thread there that needs your Bible quotes. "Bible quotes" "Israel"?? With idiocy like your above post, I wish you had the Vicodin/Gilbey's alibi. Buy don't worry - I'm not going away. CHEERS! (hiccup)
You are on every Anti Isreali thread massaging the message there and many here.
"EVERY anti-Isreali" thread there and MANY here"? A) LMAO B) Your transparency is comically lame as is your felonious claim designed ONLY to draw forum reinforcements (bwaaahaa!) c) Who gives a flying f**k either way d) How do you function at all with your blood alcohol level at around 1.95%? e) Thanks for playing, Miss Baby Jane
Did I mention I'm an Albanian Orphan?
Better to be hated for what you are, than loved for what you are not.
Look, this thread is about one thing, well actually two things, and this whole Anti-Israel crap is getting in the way of my boobie time. Go take your argument private.

That is because your lies and past attacking me for no reason on thread, after thread after thread, proves that you are a whiney little bitch. No one can save you from yourself.

Those are toooo big bro. C or D is my style. Anything bigger, is a waste.

Bullshit! Back up your statements with proof! Shouldn't be hard if I did what you said. I don't even post to you let alone attack you in thread after thread. I challenge you to show the attacks with links to the posts. Put farmfriend and clitora in the search feature and call em all up. Anyone here can do the same and see for themselves if I have engaged in attacks on anyone.
I don't care what you challenge me with, woman. I do notice the amount of so called men who get pissed off at me for calling you on your hysterical nonsense tho. You want your cake and eat it too. I see.

LOL if there is a gentleman here or two who have defended my honor it would be because they have seen enough of my posts to know you're slinging excrement. I have had quite heated exchanges with people here and on LP. At no time did I resort to personal attacks so for you to claim I have attacked you on thread after thread is laughable at best. To those gentlemen I would say thank you. Your attacks on libertarians is interesting. Care to enlighten us on your political philosophy since you obviously aren't libertarian?
Speak for yourself. I'm a believer that More is More, and more is better where Boobs are concerned.
Better to be hated for what you are, than loved for what you are not.
One must be honorable to have honor to defend. You have none. That is why it is so laughable.

Smut peddlers, It seems to me, do not have a functioning relationship with a girl friend or a spouse. Internet porn may be a temporary friendship, a false friendship - but - seems to me- to be a sad way to relate or outherwise to the partners they nature and God allowed us. But we can allow Clitoria to in the poronographic(as her or him's name claim's fame to life, and never heed Hermatica's ancient adomition's of the right way to live). It was written about 2800 BC and I recommend the valuable work to the common Clitoria. It, if you will apprended it, give you insight into the human condition - if that is what you desire.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" I don't care what you challenge me with, woman. Revealing Clitoria, and quite unflattering. I am not surprised, tho.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" If you were a MAN you would apologize.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" farmfriend's okay. No need or call to get rude with her here.
No, but I like the bikini in the top photo. _________________________________________________________________________ And I will always believe that F 14-16 got FF banned at FR. Get a load of this horsesh*t from the ever-ignorant, mininggold. She thinks you are a drunk (like me), and also forced someone off of FR. She is one sick old coot. She may need an enema or three.
Take a deep breath and grow up, you silly asshole. You have no call to talk to me that way! Yes I do! Anyone who defends that (mininggold) jerk's slander and lies is a serious MORON! You used to make a lot of sense. On this you are very wrong!
I know who I targeted. Farmfriend defended the other's comments, though. Not cool.
By the way, farmfriend, I used to appreciate very much you over at LP. I even had you on my ping list for the "Bee Colony Collapse Disorder" problem. I only found fault with you here defending a very UGLY slander by that odd woman (miniggold). If you ever notice, I seldom post to her unless she bothers me first. She just cannot stop. She has some kind of a problem with men (just a guess).
......... these are women. ****
B) Your transparency is comically lame as is your felonious claim designed ONLY to draw forum reinforcements (bwaaahaa!) c) Who gives a flying f**k either way d) How do you function at all with your blood alcohol level at around 1.95%? e) Thanks for playing, Miss Baby Jane LOL **** Hey dude. Now that Obama got rid of his old VAN ............ is Jones eligible for 'Cash for Clunkers'? ;-)
Approve. :)
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
Thank you ............. ****
This is true...Birds of a Feather?
I feel nothing but pity for mininggold. Seriously.
;-) Butta-boom-boom! ;-)
But that is exactly the problem, I didn't defend her. You simply accused me of it. AS I said before, I was objecting to your call for censorship. That is hardly a defense of anyone but simply a repudiation of your actions. I have left several forums because of what I felt was over moderation. I abhor it. You called for Christine to step in and moderate and that I objected to. You twisted it then attacked me for it. You should apologize.

You called for Christine to step in and moderate and that I objected to. You twisted it then attacked me for it. You should apologize. Yes. I asked for, perhaps, a reprimand to her (mininggold). I did not ask for her to be banished from the site. It's just that the demented woman (mininggold) has been doing the same kind of putrid thing to me for a great deal of time. For instance, in the past I put up a post such as post # 99 and she spewed that I was posting "soft porn". That's quite crazy. She's just plain NUTS. It's getting very old. Nevertheless, I understand your point and am glad you have clarified it to me (twice). Please be well.
What does this have to do with me? Get a clue. Scapegoat someone else.

Yeah, the women I posted above are in drag.

I would never have heard about her either... only my uncle bought an extreme sport magazine with her on the front cover.... LOL
NO to Lisbon! I fear a YES verdict more than Swine Flu....
Hey MORON, I NEVER showed "pictures comparing female genitalia" on any site, as that asshole said!
