So the next time some guy suggests women shouldn't be in charge.....
because they are flighty.

The results showed men were slower and less accurate after trying to impress the women. The more they fancied them, the worse their score.

But when the task was repeated with a group of female volunteers, they did not get the same results. Memory scores stayed the same, whether they had chatted to a man or a woman.

In a report on their findings the researchers said: 'We conclude men's cognitive functioning may temporarily decline after an interaction with an attractive woman.



Is it too early for popcorn?

3. It's gotta be the boobs
They have a gravity field all their own that slowly, but inevitably, draws our eyes and brains to them.

6. men tend to use left side of brain exclusively and women has connections going both sides of brain
hence women more capable of multi tasking and men single focus.

good and bad in both

when a man is thinking of hitting on a woman he cant think about the address

even when a woman is thinking of hittin on a man she can still give the address

much simpler to see the logic of this already proven scientific study, but in todays world of male evolution leaves them out of control world, bringing in evolution is so much more manly than a simple explanation of the way a brain works
