"They've found that when women are ovulating, they produce copulins, a scent that attracts men....when a man gets a whiff of copulins, his testosterone levels rise. As a result, he secretes androstenone, an odor that repels women who aren't ovulating."

Quote :

"In one recent study, Berman says, researchers had women smell men's T-shirts. The women were most attracted to the shirts of men with a different major histocompatability complex (MHC) from them. MHC is a collection of genes that are related to immune systems. women taking hormonal contraception were attracted to men who had similar MHC as they did. they have looked at these couples who have similar MHC, and not only do they have higher levels of infidelity and higher levels of marital discord, but they also have higher infertility issues.""

"Researchers have also found that if a woman looks at the face of a man whom she knows nothing about, she will give it a rating on a scale of 1 to 10 that's different than if she is shown the same face and a corresponding income. When a man makes a lot of money, a woman will rate him higher on an attractiveness scale than she would that same man with a smaller income."

I watched that special on discovery, pretty interesting.

oh i know. I just find it how many scientific studies continually reinforce this fact, yet women continue deny it as a concerning issue.

I really only quoted the other aspects based on minor interest and the money one was my primary point.

Call them gold diggers if you want, but who wouldn't be more attracted to a person who can survive financially? I read another study about 3 years ago that said people with graduate degrees were more likely to marry other people with a 4 year degree or higher than they were people who never went to college. No one is attracted to high school drop outs living off of food stamps unless you are that same type of person.

yep, why do you think those meredith girls go to school for?

4/16/2009 12:33:45 PM

damn ... so should you marry 4-year degree or better, G ...

that's because the forces at play are subconscious. yeah, when you go after a millionaire, that's very conscious, but referring to your bolded part, that's definitely subconscious.

IOW, women don't even know they are gold-digging whores [not all women are gold-digging whores, and some definitely know they are]

Women's primary biological drive is to reproduce. A mate is ancillary to that need and is generally selected based on his ability to assist her in that endeavor. Thus, a man who makes money is more important subconsciously (as ^ said) than a man who makes them laugh.

the MHC thing is cool

"Women's primary biological drive is to reproduce."

Typically, women tend to go for one guy because all she needs is one guy's semen to reproduce. Men on the other hand tend to like multiple females because they too want to reproduce... But its different in the sense that they want all billion sperm ejaculated to become fertile, thus sure to pass on his superior genes. I mean obviously you DON"T want kids, but from an evolutionary standpoint thats why its okay socially for men to sleep with multiple people.

But studies show that a woman is more likely to cheat while she is ovulating because her body thinks that the guy she is with is not producing fertile semen so she seeks out other men that may do that. Again, the whole "fertile" part is another sexual evolutionary theory.

Women ovulating are also shown to dress more provocatively

I love how women will throw all scientific premise out the window when it suits their needs but as soon as it explains their bullshit behavior in a way they find beneficial HERE COME THE CHARTSENGRAFS

yes, ovulating women are subconsciously more attracted to more masculine men... square jaw lines, slight stubble, broad shoulders and back, etc. obviously, if a certain chick happens to be married to a guy like that, there wouldn't be much chances at all of her straying.

I never stated that I wasn't crazy... Estrogen is the key hormone is all this bullshit. In fact there was a study done on rams showing that Rams with increase estrogen levels tend to more likely hump other Rams... thus probably explaining the nature of homesexuals...

Testosterone is actually derived from estrogen... They are both very similar in structure
