- johndi, on 07/20/2008, -7/+110How drunk were the subjects in this test?
- tehhowch, on 07/20/2008, -4/+93So testosterone is the reason I talked to her?
And all this time I thought it was the booze.... - Shogi, on 07/20/2008, -1/+80All you have to do is observe animals to see that males are generally wired to ***** just about anything that moves.
- Zounas, on 07/20/2008, -4/+71You're*
- insinuate, on 07/20/2008, -2/+61I'd hate to be the "not so attractive" girl they used in the test. "Hey You're pretty ugly, come here and be apart of our test!"
- TheLoneWolf071, on 07/20/2008, -8/+54Pussy is pussy man.
- DeskFlyer, on 07/20/2008, -2/+44This should be a no-brainer.

- Tarnum, on 07/20/2008, -10/+40"to me your pretty anyways"
It is important to distinguish “your” from “you are”. “Your” signifies ownership.
/hail grammar gestapo - wrathchilde, on 07/20/2008, -1/+30Pray-tell, what motivates such lingual mastication?
- solesoul, on 07/20/2008, -9/+37why do you care?
- ZimbuTheMonkey, on 07/20/2008, -3/+28Scrappy is right. "Attempting" is a much nicer synonym.
- MiniCooper2007, on 07/20/2008, -3/+26Forget the testosterone, use the boner test.
- Mist0r_Wiggles, on 07/21/2008, -0/+23exactly! my testosterone level went way up after watching The Dark Knight, but that doesn't mean i want to take the movie out for dinner and shagged it afterwards.
ok, maybe just a little bit. - inactive, on 07/20/2008, -1/+21Because MrBabySpam uses fake thumbnails to more diggs.
Not that it's a bad technique, but it's just MrBabySpam. Submitting Telegraph. Again. - pak314, on 07/20/2008, -0/+17"Their testosterone levels were measured with saliva samples and they were then taken to another room by a researcher under the guise of being there to solve a sudoku puzzle. "
Perhaps men find Sudoku puzzles a little kinky. - inactive, on 07/20/2008, -2/+18The True girl is looking hot today. Yes, I'm judging her on her looks alone. So sue me.
- SaintDogbert, on 07/20/2008, -14/+29Interesting article, but the headline is misleading. The study showed testosterone levels went up no matter what the woman looked like. They didn't ask if the man fancied shagging the "stimulus." Testosterone does not equal lust.
- jd72277, on 07/20/2008, -2/+17because bitten off tongues are the new non-bitten off tongues.
- SimonTB, on 07/20/2008, -0/+14"...exposure to a woman."
I love the wording. - insinuate, on 07/20/2008, -2/+15thats called having low expectations, not a fetish.
- Ademuth, on 07/20/2008, -0/+13Shes showing off her overbite...
- Dday141, on 07/20/2008, -2/+15Who cares? It turns me on
- punx, on 07/20/2008, -4/+17Yeah, guys are sick...thank God.
- Reziarfg, on 07/20/2008, -1/+13Oh yeah?! Who you calling a masticator!?
- hakkola, on 07/20/2008, -0/+12I find moderately attractive women, moderately attractive.
Why would you rate moderately attractive women? It sounds like they've already been 'rated' and if they turn out to be rated higher or lower, they cease to be moderately attractive, if they ever were.
I call this, the paradox of the moderately attractive woman. - migshark, on 07/20/2008, -2/+14Excellent field of research, I can't wait until they make scent-releasing horny grenades.
But really now; you'd have to be a fool not to suspect SOMETHING. Hence you think you may be expected to attract the other person, or that you're secretly being evaluated in some other sense and so you consequently flout yourself a little. I know it's a slightly silly theory, but it's probably how I'd behave. - yourmightyruler, on 07/20/2008, -3/+14Unless it has warts. Then its a pussy with bumps.
- gwydir8, on 07/20/2008, -3/+13Nice ODB quote!
Wu-Tang Clan Aint Nothin to ***** with! - Koppie, on 07/20/2008, -0/+10Drunk enough.
- inactive, on 07/20/2008, -0/+10"The stimulus people were told to engage in friendly conversation in a natural manner, or allow long pauses if the man elected not to talk."
Flawed.
"The stripper smiled at me, she wants me!"
Interest is arousing. - frigginchris, on 07/20/2008, -0/+9they just have to pay!
- f4nt0m4s, on 07/20/2008, -0/+9Big girls need love too.
- mrsammercer, on 07/20/2008, -2/+11Ha, I was hoping the Telegraph actually quoted ODB, but only the first sentence of the description was lifted from the article.
Also... Yeah, sure I'll hump on an ugly for for a night but that doesn't mean I want to brandish her on my arm at Thanksgiving Dinner. - Zarokima, on 07/21/2008, -0/+8And you people say HE needs a life.
- Verz, on 07/21/2008, -1/+9HA HA.
- MasterThief117, on 07/20/2008, -0/+8Don't worry, it's not in >your< spit.
- mayra1201, on 07/20/2008, -2/+10WTF is Anne Hathaway doing in that picture? She's not ugly.
- ligyron, on 07/20/2008, -1/+8You're annoying
- restlessmouse, on 07/21/2008, -1/+8Big deal. When I was in my 20's, I would get a hard-on just from riding on the bus.
- diggit23, on 07/21/2008, -1/+8i dugg you up because that's the funniest thing that i've read all day
- wolferz, on 07/21/2008, -1/+8FTA: "Fifteen minutes later, the experimenter returned to collect the puzzle from the man, and to take a second saliva sample. Comparison of the saliva tests showed that testosterone levels rapidly increased by an average of 7.8 per cent after the five minute contact with a woman."
No... the study found that after 5 minutes of conversation with a woman, some of it awkward, *and 15 additional minutes of cool off* the testosterone levels were increased an average of 7.8% over the previous reading.
FTA: "The men were also asked to rate the attractiveness of the woman in the room, and the results show that the testosterone increase was not influenced by the perceived attractiveness of the women."
They admit to picking women who are of a similar level of attractiveness and then when the a man's perception of attractiveness is unusually high but his body still releases the same amount of testosterone they never consider the possibility that testosterone is released based more on subconscious or autonomic responses rather than conscious ones... such as perception.
Next time throw in a young model or ten and a couple 400lb women and see what happens.
FTA: "The stimulus people were told to engage in friendly conversation in a natural manner, or allow long pauses if the man elected not to talk."
This is an unnecessary part of the test and again can color the results. The test was to see how much or little appearance had to do with the release of testosterone. I dunno about other guys but when a random woman suddenly takes interest in me and strikes up a conversation I can feel the effects of testosterone (warmth, jitters, increased heart rate) without any need for it being measured... and it doesn't matter how hot or not they are as long as they aren't fugly.
Also if a man chooses not to pay attention to a woman based on appearance that too could alter the amount of testosterone released. While the test seems to take this into account it does so in a way that might actually cause some men, specifically those with a low self image (geeks/nerds... and this was a college no less.. and the test was being given under the guise of a math based game... come the ***** on) to behave as if they are not interested while doing nothing about men who actually aren't but happen to be polite and decent human beings.
This test would have been more accurate if they had found another way to get the men who found the woman attractive to pay attention to the woman without her directly interacting with them and while allowing men who did not to ignore them if they chose to.
FTA: "This idea is supported by evidence that dominance behaviors of men increases their desirability as a date and by research showing that men who exhibit more dominant-like behavior make more frequent successful contact with women. "
Now why wasn't that study on digg? If it's methodology is sound (unlike this test) then it would explain once and for all why the bad boys get all the girls while the good guys are left picking over "the scraps."
------------
I honestly don't judge women on looks alone and my highest requirements are for personality type and attitude... but if she's fugly then I'm sorry but I just can't get interested. Call me Shallow Hal if you must. - brainwash, on 07/20/2008, -0/+7Dugg for grammatically incorrect Ol' Dirty Bastard quote. (his name isnt even grammatically correct, what are you people expecting?)
- Typhoon2009, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6It's kinda true. I saw this lady at Ikea the other day... average looks, but she had this white dress made of really, really thin fabric. Meaning whenever she leaned forward slightly, I got a bit of a look at her ass and thong. SPROOOING.
- Dozernotz, on 07/20/2008, -0/+6So men aren't as picky when they're horny? How do people get grants for this kind of thing?
- gn0stik, on 07/21/2008, -0/+5There are a lot of guys who like to act like they can't get turned on by women who are not model quality. Most of us know this is ***** at some level. Those of us who are honest with ourselves know that being picky is the number one ***** block in the world. For every hot chick that snubs her nose at you, there's a not-as-hot friend of hers who would love to show you a good time.... word gets around.
It always brings to mind one of my heros, Gene Simmons.
I can't remember where I saw it, or read it, but Gene was on tour with Kiss, and his roadies, staff etc, would hang out and drink in the hotel bars etc. One night Gene comes in with the (then) miss america on his arm, and hops on the elevator with her, give them the thumbs up as the door is closing. The next night he does the same thing, with a rather large woman. One of his staff approaches him the next morning and asks about the obvious disparity in the quality of women he took home. Gene's response was,
"Jim, you can't have steak every night." - cowsgonemadd3, on 07/20/2008, -1/+6Oh my!
