Beautiful Women Make Men Stupid
Some scientists in the Netherlands have done a study that shows that men score worse on brain function tests after talking to a beautiful woman. In fact, the more attractive the woman is to him, the worse he will do.
The researchers attribute it to evolution or cognitive theory or something, but I know when I’ve felt this way, the emotion is so strong, that it clouds your mind. Maybe I am even shaking, I feel so nervous. Actually I don’t think I feel this way anymore, but I have before.
Here is the strange part: women in the study did not have the same problem when talking to handsome men. They were just as smart when they took a test after talking to a handsome guy. What is the deal with that? Are women impervious to the attractive influence of handsome men, or maybe those women weren’t attracted to those guys, even though they were handsome? Maybe they had some kind of handsomeness vaccine or something? Are women naturally superior to men in this category? That can’t be right!

haha…does not apply to me. I get nervous and shy around really hot guys. I think I lose some brain function lol.
i dont get affected that much by handsomeness.
I get more nervous talking to really smart & critical guys than to handsome guys.
My dumb moments come spontaneously.
