The study measured brain function in 40 male heterosexual student volunteers, who were asked to perform a standard memory test in which they were shown a stream of letters and had to quickly say if each was the same as the previous letter. They then spent several minutes talking to either a man or an attractive woman and then repeated the test.
The researchers found that even a few minutes with the attractive woman was enough to make the students slower and less accurate on the test. The more attracted they were, the worse their results.
They also studied the effects on women students of being in the company of handsome men, and found the test scores were unaffected.

They also studied the effects on women students of being in the company of handsome men, and found the test scores were unaffected because women know I have one of these and I can have all of them I want and yes I’m setting on a goln mine.
What was the question,again?
uhhhh what?
Why is this news?

Blood rushes from the big brain to the little brain-Dr.Ursus-professor emeritus of beerology.
But of course the WOMEN, who were responsible for the election of HUSSEIN, are mentally just FINE!!
I’m quite sure the test was inadequate.
Memory was not lessened, it was diverted.
If they had tested his memory about her estimated bra size, her eye color, and what she was wearing, I’ll bet his memory would show marked improvement.
this is obvious.
Blood leaves the brain and goes somewhere else.
This study is flawed.
Other example. When a lawyer speaks to a jury, he must communicate in a manner and with words that will reach their comprehension.
So it is based on the environment. In a dating/hook-up scenario the need for higher intelectual reparte is not very intense. (especially over loud club music)
IOW the Don Juan does not have to win a nobel prize to bed his prize, he just has to intelectual enough to get over her “oops I dropped my hankie” resistance.
Obviously a landmark study. They must have had a hard time finding students who would talk to attractive women.
