Men lose their minds speaking to pretty women Talking to an attractive woman really can make a man lose his mind, according to a new study.
Pat Hagan 03 Sep 2009
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.

It’s hard to form coherent thoughts when your body diverts your blood away from your brain.
This indeed is why it is so simple to win the upper hand in a debate with Helen Thomas.
I hate you.

Yes, but if a guy takes off his shirt, women don't stay too smart, either. |
HA HA HA!
Avoid post 3. You have been warned.
This started with Adam, and his pretty wife Eve holding that damn apple.
‘Men think that women with big breasts are not intelligent. That isn't true; it is just that the larger a woman's breasts are, the less intelligent the men around her become.’
“Men Lose Their Minds Speaking To Pretty Women”
Very True. Beautiful women can turn men into babbling idiots.
You ruined a perfectly good thread, you bastard.
