the more the sight of an attractive woman will affect his judgement.

The sight of a potential mate might therefore actually make men more sensible

Did this study actually determine anything? I think the "researchers" must've been enamored with the hot chicks, too, based on these ambiguous findings.

You understand what you’ve just describe in your ideal mate is a perfect collection of competing goals.

A woman is imbued with countless charms, unfortunately reason is not one of them.

Who paid for this study?

Ring finger length as a measure of testosterone? Give me a break.

It seems that the more macho a man is — at least according to his hormones — the more the sight of an attractive woman will affect his judgement.

I don’t know how macho I am, but I have met women who were just so beautiful and sensual that my brain seemed to turn to mush.

I think what you want is a man born with a machismo dial on the back of his neck. Full machismo to the right and sissy to the left.

Good luck. My wife tried to install one. It broke and I was none to happy about the scar.

P.C. Editing error:
The sight of flesh had less effect on the bargaining tactics of low-testosterone men.
Should read...
The sight of flesh had less effect on the bargaining tactics of gays.
There, fixed it.

Whatever happened to "would you like to come up to my room and look at my etchings?"

Shocking! Is this why guys go to strip clubs, pay ridiculous prices for drinks, throw money at the girls, and leave wondering "why she doesn't like me for me?"
