Antibiotic Protects Men from Attractive Women
Newton Blog ^ | 4-28-2013 | Alex Berezow

Heterosexual men mentally melt in the presence of attractive women. As Tom Jacobs writes in Pacific Standard, even the very thought of possibly interacting with a woman is enough to "temporarily impede men's mental abilities."

Of course, women know this, and some use it to their advantage. (Companies also know this, and they use it to their advantage, too: During my years in graduate school, many of the biotech sales reps were unusually attractive women.) Men feel more trusting toward women who cause them to be sexually aroused, even if there is no good justification for it -- just like when Indiana Jones totally fell for that sexy Nazi chick in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Is there a way for men to avoid these devilish "honey traps"? (It's unknown if the "honey trap" is named after CNBC's anchor formerly known as the "Money Honey.")

Yes. They can take an antibiotic.

Minocycline is typically used to treat acne, but it can also reduce symptoms associated with mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and depression, and it can improve decision-making. This latter effect was analyzed further in a study described in Scientific Reports.

(The article then went on describing a Japanese trust game experiment "Honey trap")

As shown, men who were taking placebo offered about 50% of their money in the trust game to women of "low attractiveness," while they gave 65% of their money to women of "high attractiveness." Men receiving a regimen of minocycline gave about 50% to both groups of women.

Let this be a lesson for all male businessmen: When engaged in negotiations with an attractive female, be sure to have a doctor's prescription handy.

"Nah, no thanks Jessica. I'm on Minocycline and I just want to watch TV."

This reminded me of a David Spade line from Saturday Night Live. He said something like "Never allow a beautiful woman pull in front of you in traffic. They will rarely pull over and have sex with you.... rarely."

Absolutely true.

I have friends who have told me for years they could never get some hot woman.

I laugh at them and tell em fine, if you want to feel that way.

However, it’s your winning personality, wit, charm and intelligence that win them over.

Me? I’m naturally handsome and just plain interested women, which makes them interested in me.

I try not to talk so much and only occassionally say something witty let them drone and on and on about their vast resevoir of knowledge.

Not they really possess much information that is useful or even correct.

Most of the time they just go and on and on waiting for me to regale them with an interesting story.

Then it’s back much about nothing and I have to interject a clever one liner or say something self deprecating.

See, women like a man that is confident enough to joke about himself.

Around this time they are really tossed their hair back with their hand, leaning into me and looking through the top of their eyelids as they smile.

So, I’ll take notice and compliment them on their beauty and their terrific smile and that I hope she doesn’t bite.

Usually get a quip like “Would it be so bad?”

“Well, perhaps from a stunning woman such as yourself it would be worth the risk of finding out”. As I grin....

Then it’s small talk about behind closed door stuff and by now they are bragging about what they could get me to do or saying something stoopit like “I could rock your world”.

Well, that’d be great Ms. Flinstone” I do want to roll my eyes at that line cuz “rock your world” is so 80’s and it’s was lame back then. Still, this is a dance you got know how to two step and occasionally chassé.

That’s French something or other but, really it’s a slow, swaggering dance and they like it.

A real mood maker and if it’s done right one usually get’s a whisper in the ear wondering if your gonna be this good in bed.

“Maybe. But if the floors better....”

So if I like the girl I’ll call her in less than three days so she will know and if she doesn’t recognize my voice at first, because usually just say “Hello...” in a deep voice without announcing my name, then I remark:

“What? You don’t remember me? Well, what about those long walks along the River Seine, on a moonlit nite as the lights were dancing on the water while we sipped champagne and ate chocolate covered strawberries?”

Get’s em every time....

Did I drone on long enough

“I have the best protection there is-—I’m married...”

That doesn’t work for everyone. :)
