Male lust is blind, research suggests
Telegraph UK ^ | 20 July 2008 | Roger Dobson

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."

Contrary to this study, I am quite certain that being around any of those CREATURES would diminish my testosterone levels — so I will stay far away from the Democrat ZOO.

Would be hot if not for the tobacco, crack, and meth, to say nothing of the tattoos.

There's always a deal-breaker...

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

If so, they took out his iron constitution along with his *CENSORED*.
