Well, duh...


Edited highlights...







Sex cues ruin men's decisiveness

Catching sight of a pretty woman really is enough to throw a man's decision-making skills into disarray, a study suggests.


The more testosterone he has, the stronger the effect, according to work by Belgian researchers.

Men about to play a financial game were shown images of sexy women or lingerie.

The Proceedings of the Royal Society B study found they were more likely to accept unfair offers than men not been exposed to the alluring images.

The suggestion is that the sexual cues distract the men's thoughts, preventing them from focusing on their task - particularly among those with high natural testosterone levels...


...Dr George Fieldman, principal lecturer in psychology at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College, told the BBC News website... the study confirmed what had been suspected by many.

"If a man is being asked to choose between something being presented by an attractive woman and an ugly man, they might not be as dispassionate as they could be."






I'm so glad that science is here to tell us this stuff.  It might have passed us by otherwise.


On a slight side issue, about half way down the article, it says:





The men's testosterone levels were also tested - by comparing the length of the men's index finger compared to their ring finger.

If the ring finger is longest, it indicates a high testosterone level.




I'm pleased to say that my ring finger is about half a centimetre longer then my index finger.  I'm all man, me.
