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."

Thanks for this news flash! Haha! ;-)
A crusty old Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event, hosted by a Local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely young, idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant Major for conversation.
She said, “Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man... is something bothering you?”
“Negative, ma’am,” the Sergeant Major said, “Just serious by nature.”
“The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, “It looks like you have seen a lot of action.”
The Sergeant Major’s short reply was, “Yes, ma’am, a lot of action.” The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, “You know, you should lighten up a little....relax and enjoy yourself.”
The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner.
Finally the young lady said, “You know, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?”
The Sergeant Major looked at her and replied, “1955.”
She said, “Well, there you are. You really need to chill out and quit taking everything so seriously! I mean, no sex since 1955! She took his hand and led him to a private room where she proceeded to “relax”him several times.
Afterwards, and panting for breath, she leaned against his bare chest and said, “Wow, you sure didn’t forget much since 1955!”
The Sergeant Major, glancing at his watch, said in his matter-of-fact voice, “I hope not, it’s only 2130 now.”
Gotta LOVE THAT MILITARY TIME !!!!
Oh, come on, with that picture my testosterone dropped 50 percent!
Wait a sec ... I thought it led to blindness!!
Finally, at last, I understand why my brother married the beauty/weight challenged young woman that he did. Loveliness comes in all forms and sizes, but at least he should have held out for a non-sociopath personality.
I went to high school with a girl that told me that her father would attack an old sock if necessary.
Actually, Helen Thomas was married. And she was 51 when she got married, so although I’m sure she wasn’t a looker when she was 20, some guy said “I gotta tap that for the next 15-40 years!”
Seriously...are we sure that's not a man???
It’s not a monkey, and that’s as far as I’ll go.
That's Herb Kohl, senior Senator from Wisconsin. And I do mean senior!
It's nice to know the old geezer is still breathing 'cuz we never hear from him otherwise.
I think his entire contribution to legislative activism after twenty years in the U.S. Senate was adding "trigger locks" to a "gun control" measure, thereby guaranteeing more business for Milwaukee based Master Lock Corporation.
Whereupon, Master lock turned around and outsourced all the "trigger lock" production to mainland China and shut down most of their Milwaukee operations.

PS The first shipment of 250,000 Chinese made locks failed acceptance tests as the ratchet pawl was made of dead soft steel and was only 30% of the design thickness. The original specifications called for .09" thick high carbon steel, hardened to 50 Rc. Just a natural mistake anyone could have made...
Bout time. Good job!
The story is about the effect of women on men’s libidos not fossilized remains.
Just watch NBC Dateline’s “To Catch a Predator” and you’ll know that for sure.
Would be hot if not for the tobacco, crack, and meth, to say nothing of the tattoos.
If a guy wants a woman, he needs sweet-talk, romance, gifts, thought and care. If a woman wants a guy, she needs to show up. Bonus points if she shows up nekkid.

Another old saying, "G-d gave men two heads, but only enough blood to use one at a time."

Like I said on another thread, when did Keith Richards get a sex change?
