Attractive Women Make Men Temporarily Stupid

shamelessly ripped from Slashdot:

"The Telegraph reports that 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. This leads to speculation 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. 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 recruited 40 male heterosexual students and had each one perform a standard memory test. The volunteers then spent seven minutes chatting to male or female members of the research team before repeating the test. The results showed that men were slower and less accurate after trying to impress the women. The more they fancied them, the worse their score."

I agree with that Neil . I was thinking of getting a Ruth Buzzy ( Lily Tomlin ) mask for cases where I act stupid .:blush:

Yes, they make us gibbering wrecks. Good job my co-workers are mostly fat and ugly or I'd never get anything done.

My chinese lady's boss has employed lots of sexy young cuties, I wonder if any of the men ever get anything done?

[Voiceroveip]

They probably do "them" :angel:

No need for a test for that.  Hell, we have known that for generations.

> I would have liked to seen them use another group of men who considered themselves homosexual and do the same thing.

Hmm, have you not seen that music video for "put your hands up for detroit"? That will explain all.

Rumour has it that men are equipped with two brains....
An Upper and a Lower.
And unfortunately, not enough blood for both of them
