Pretty Women Scramble Men's Sense Of The Future

Posted by timothy on from the verifiably-true dept.

Adam_Trask writes "Psychologists in Canada have finally proved what women have long suspected - men really are irrational enough to risk entire kingdoms to catch sight of a beautiful face." The methodology is not air-tight, but how many scientists figure out a way to use Am I Hot or Not at work? See also "Women Live Longer Because Men Are Dumb."

    That's called eisogesis. When all you have
    are pink sunglasses, everything looks like
    a gardenia.

    If they showed the females photographs of
    statistically attractive females, I'd wager
    that they would also have exhibited a
    degradation of economic rationality.

    My favorite is when guy catches his girl cheating on him with another guy...and then goes after (or at least gets mad at) the guy, with whom he had no "emotional contract", shall we say.

    I don't know if scientists have a name for this most delicious of male irrationalities, but I like to call it the Jerry Springer Phenomenon

    It's called Sperm Competition and is a very real biological process in men of all species.
