reading faces

2006-05-12 18:06:07.457006+02 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

Women are good at reading faces of men:

The first part of the study provided confirmation of work done previously by other groups, using different methods. When asked to rate the men's masculinity, the women agreed on who was top and who was bottom, and their rankings correlated with the testosterone levels from the swabs. What was novel was that when asked to rate the men's liking of children from the photographs, they ranked them in the same order as the researchers had done from the interest the men themselves had shown in pictures of infants.

I don't know about the rest of the guys around here, but under certain circumstances I can see fit to overlook a tiny little mistake. I'm just a nice guy like that.

Men, on the other hand, think women who mistake exits for lavatory doors on buses are sexy.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
