BUDAPEST, Hungary, March 9 (UPI) -- Anger, hostility and aggression may be genetic in women, research released in Budapest, Hungary, said.

"Aggression and hostility are predictors of hypertension, glucose metabolism and heart diseases," said Dr. Indrani Halder of the University of Pittsburgh, who planned to present her findings at the American Psychosomatic Society's Annual Meeting in Budapest.

"The genetic marker we found for hostility also may be useful for predicting a person's predisposition to such diseases," she said.

Her research looked at the relationship between variations in a serotonin receptor gene and anger and hostility. Previous research has linked serotonin, a hormone, with anger and aggression. The new research sought to determine whether the relationship was genetic.

The research was based on 550 unrelated women of European descent.

I just don't understand any of them, and in my opinion, that's the way it's supposed to be.

As I wise freeper posted on one of the "crazy astronaut" threads the other night,

"I understand women. They're soft, and they smell good and they're nuttier than squirrel poop. Every last one of them."

This has long been known - that time of the month.

When that is past, things get a lot better.

I bet that sauce is GREAT! Love hot sauce. Reading this it brings to mind my two sisters bless their hearts! LOL

If you are ever in Minneapolis metro area, check out Pepper's Southwest Grill in Eden Prairie. It is in a little strip mall and has barbecue, with a selection of 20 or 30 different hot peppper sauces to choose from. It is there that I first tasted Scorned Woman. :-)

Cheers!

Here is a quote from my father. "Ya know son, I can predict 90% of what your mother does before she even does it. I don't know why she does it, but I know she going to do it."

I'd like to recommend my ex-wife for the validation sample!

My wife proved these researchers right this very evening with her yelling, ottoman throwing performance. Yes it is that time. ;)

They have no idea what kind of trouble they'll be in once the try researching woman of Latin descent.

I dated a 1/2 Puerto Rican, 1/2 Cuban woman for a while. Let me tell you, that was a wild ride.

Really I think it is in the harmones.

Very true, and when a man sees that part, and they find that he is OK with it, then they know that they are really in a relationship.

We don't need to read a book to comprehend why your behavior is self-destructive. You want attention and you want testicles, but God deprived you of both, so you want to vent on the nearest object, which is usually a man trying to be compassionate. On Family Feud, they asked 100 men "If you were stranded for the rest of your life on a desert island, would you rather it be with a man or a woman?" 85% said a man. They then asked the same question of 100 women, and 85% of the women said "A man." When women don't even want to be around women, don't tell us we need to read a book.

Well, with charm like that, I can't imagine why the little woman left you.

Thank you very much for that graphic that surely tops the most nightmarish visions that await my slumber.
The old movie " The Mark of the Devil" previously held that title. Well at least there is a commonality between your graphic and the film " Mark of the Devil." They are both about witches or is that bitches?

OMT,

Would Borat get access to any of their VaGeenas?

Good point. May I also have the optional ceramic reinforcements?

You're so cute and sexy when you're angry, baby!
