It is said that the way to a mans heart is through his stomach, but a new study suggests that when it comes to sex, food is the last thing on his mind. Researchers have found that the male brain is hardwired to seek out sex, even at the expense of a good meal, with specific neurons firing up to over-ride the desire to eat. Intriguingly, women do not have the same neurons, suggesting that sex for females comes secondary to sustenance.

Goes back to caveman days. Men went out and hunted, then brought home the goodies in exchange for some lovin’.

The male praying mantis continues his male humping gestures even after the female bites his head off. That should tell you something right there.

How dare they suggest a difference between male and female! Sounds like some straight, white, cisgendered male privilege rearing its ugly head here.
To: C19fan
Well...take THAT, mother in law!!!

I don’t know... remember the phrases, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” and “Nothin’ says lovin’ like something from the oven”? Many, many years ago... I snagged hubby via my homemade cookies and my Maryland crab soup.
To: cripplecreek
For Jeffrey Dahmer, the way to a man’s heart was through his ribcage.

This is probably why most men carry an extra 10-20 lbs. so skipping a meal occasionally isn’t a problem.

I think their sample was only liberals. It would be impossible to pole the barbarians as they would end the poll by cutting off the pollsters heads.

Goes back to caveman days. Men went out and hunted, then brought home the goodies in exchange for some lovin. And if he didn't get laid, she didn't get fed.
