Men have long been accused of judging women on looks alone, but even the plainest Jane can get their hormones raging, a study has found.
Research involving a group of male students found that their levels of the hormone testosterone increased to the same extent whether they were talking to a young woman they found attractive – or to one they didn't fancy much at all.
After 300 seconds alone in the same room as a woman they had never met before, and in some cases did not find particularly attractive, the men's testosterone levels of the hormone had shot up by an average of around eight per cent.
..."Testosterone levels rose motivating men to seek mating opportunities. That in turn triggers changes in unconscious behaviour designed to attract a mate. The rise in levels of the hormone bring about changes in way men display themselves.
"Once levels have risen, they can display more dominant behaviour. They talk more with their hands, there is more eye contact, their posture is more upright, and they are more likely to tell stories designed to impress the woman. We known that women can be attracted by these kinds of things. All this, we believe, may be fuelled by the rise in testosterone that we have found."

I thought the article was going to be about closing time beer goggles.
That is abuse.
An old friend always said, “men are all alike. Unzip their fly and their brains fall out.”
Of course, she should know. She was married 8 times.
Heheh

It’s called the “desert island” gene. From the male perspective, it allows for the continuation of the species under less than optimal conditions.
That would be the moped syndrome... Fun to ride on, but don’t let your friends see ya on ‘em!
A man does not insist on physical beauty in a woman
who builds up his morale.
After a while he realizes that she is beautiful, he
just hadn’t noticed it at first.
LAZARUS LONG
Come on, you know that they would NEVER include that in the report. To add an observation like that would counteract the pink mafia’s agenda.
As hard as it is to believe, there is probably a desperate old man or two out there that would hit that up. After all, every trash can has its lid.
Have fun with this one! LOL!
Sort of like riding a moped. It’s fun and it feels good you just hope nobody sees ya.
Watch your testosterone level go up with this one. Remember, it takes FIVE minutes of gazing into the eyes of the beautiful one to have any effect on the testosterone levels.
Beer, the testosterone enhancer!
“Guys aren’t as picky as they claim to be..”
I think this study would have been more accurate if they surveyed males lust quotient at bar closing time.
Damn! My tetesterone level just dropped completely. Put her in a room with those guys and same Sex marriage will look good! That face could make you impotent!
