Study: Men Enjoy Seeing Bad People Suffer Wednesday, January 18, 2006

NEW YORK — Bill Clinton said he felt others' pain. But a new brain-scanning study suggests that when guys see a cheater get a mild electric shock, they don't feel his pain much at all. In fact, they rather enjoy it.

In contrast, women's brains showed they do empathize with the cheater's pain and don't get a kick out it.

[RockinRight]

Actually I've met quite a few women that seem to enjoy the pain of others...

*ducks*

[RipSawyer]

I was always under the impression that women like to suffer bad men and see good men suffer.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I have never been sure that they LIKE to do this but they certainly play that game a lot, for whatever reason.

He's shooting the guy in the nuts?

No. LOL The knee.




Oh, okay. That's alright then...

[apackof2]

From one fan to another

[DJ MacWoW]

Oh, okay. That's alright then...

Yup. Season 4. Loved it!

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

So do chicks...

Our entertainment industry tends to have actors pretending to be bad people pretending to suffer. (Of course some of the actors really are bad people in real life.) The Romans enjoyed watching people actually die in front of them in the arena. It's the difference between an actual gladiatorial contest and a movie about gladiators.

>>Hmm...women don't enjoy other people's pain? (Sound of muted hysterical laughter...)<<

Another scientific study which starts with a false premise and then set out to prove it.

Well now, this study just proves that Bill Clinton is a real pussy, as if we didn't already know.

[Terriergal]

ha!

Well, what about women? Maybe women with high testosterone levels do too.

What does that say about me liking 24??? GASP!

[Terriergal]

LOL point taken.

Time to go paintballin'....!

[Terriergal]

OH someone else already got to 24. Make me hurt, Jackie baby! lol

[Terriergal]

Do you have the shot from season 4 where Chloe gets to shoot the m4?

I was always under the impression that women like to suffer bad men
and see good men suffer.

From my experience, too many women fit this pattern.

[Smartaleck]

"LOL! So Fox News is insinuating"

Actually, it's an AP story.

You mean this one?

[hinckley buzzard]

Any reasonably observant person knows that on the whole, women don't handle their aggression nearly as effectively as men. It's basically hormonal, but reinforced by culture. This finding is so representative of basic psychology that it hardly bears repeating...except among the idiot enthusiasts of postmodern feminism.

[Billthedrill]

You keep your ammo in the freezer, don't you? Admit it...

I have a huge crush on "Vic" (Chiklis) and the rest of his team is not too bad either.
