Women's voices go high pitch when most fertile, study finds

  • inactive, on 10/08/2008, -2/+103When you hear a high-pitched beep, the oven is ready.
  • BlackCow, on 10/08/2008, -1/+64"Researchers made voice recordings of 69 female undergraduates "

    Seriously, it couldn't be 68 or 70...
  • buughost, on 10/08/2008, -3/+51Does this mean women with really low pitch are sterile?
  • floridiot2, on 10/08/2008, -2/+48That, or they already have sperm.
  • inactive, on 10/08/2008, -2/+45It's off to Fry's for guys to get a pitch meter, right?
  • bakagaigin, on 10/08/2008, -3/+38Or, "lets find an excuse to leave sexist comments on digg"
  • usern4me, on 10/08/2008, -3/+33"But the difference was apparent only when women spoke a simple introductory sentence such as 'hi, I'm a student at UCLA' - and not for simple vowel sounds."

    So not for "uhhh...uhhh...uhhhhhHHHH!!! or "ohhh...ohhhhhh...ohhhhhh!!!!"

    That works right?
  • LongShlong, on 10/08/2008, -1/+24No... She's just reeeeeally slutty.
  • Rikushix, on 10/08/2008, -5/+27In a similar study, researchers did not have to conduct many experiments to discover that men do not care about women's fertility, especially in scenarios where it`s better if they didn't talk.
  • opusaz, on 10/08/2008, -1/+21Terrific. Half the female accountants at my office must be in heat all the frikkin' time. Their voices are like splinters pushing into my ears.
  • Kenzan, on 10/08/2008, -1/+19I'd hit that.
  • nixpix66, on 10/08/2008, -6/+23.... then why is my 80 yr old grandmom's voice so high???? EEEWWWWWWWW

  • citizenrobot, on 10/09/2008, -1/+14I'm convinced Digg is 95% dudes. They're always digg-ing stories that are like:

    - Being a smart nerdy guy is actually attractive to girls
    - Being indoors alot is also actually attractive to girls
    - Girls LOVE video games, did you know
  • hydroplane, on 10/08/2008, -2/+15same goes for High Pitch Eric

  • theOster, on 10/08/2008, -1/+13it only takes once before you start caring an awful lot.
  • Seifey, on 10/08/2008, -0/+11"lesbian"
    "she liked the *****"
    uh, what?
  • AndersenWatcher, on 10/08/2008, -1/+11dugg down for dailymail.co.uk
  • BossKey, on 10/08/2008, -2/+11A low-pitched voice is a clue that you're really talkin' to a guy.
  • FTLJohnson, on 10/08/2008, -1/+10In other news, they also wear large ugly sunglasses...
  • aznpwnzor, on 10/08/2008, -0/+6RTFA
  • Kenzan, on 10/08/2008, -3/+9Their pupils also dilate when they are ovulating.

    They are also unusually horny at that time.

    Viva-la-Ovulation!

    Just wear your hat..you know?
  • chiefbandit2200, on 10/08/2008, -0/+5I guess that explains why I'm extremely attracted to women with really soft, feminine voices, even if their looks are meh.
  • GlassAgate, on 10/09/2008, -1/+6Why? What science do you have to counter it?
  • MeccaOfManhood, on 10/08/2008, -3/+8Bring on the mute chicks.

  • inactive, on 10/09/2008, -0/+4I miss Howard :(
  • doublefelix, on 10/09/2008, -0/+4Dumb as a bag of hammers.
  • wexmajor, on 10/08/2008, -1/+5Mickey Mouse must be fertile as hell. Come to think of it, he is pretty attractive...
  • AndrewDB, on 10/08/2008, -0/+4I don't know why, but I love her voice.
  • marnaq, on 10/08/2008, -1/+5I see what you did there.
  • SilverBack101, on 10/08/2008, -2/+6Oooooooo!
  • MoralThreat, on 10/08/2008, -1/+5So that means that Joey Lauren Adams is fertile 24/7?

  • LongShlong, on 10/08/2008, -1/+5... Depends on what you gag them with.
  • oblique63, on 10/08/2008, -0/+4hm, that must mean that Mini Mouse is even more fertile... damn, at that rate, when they finally get it on, their children will be so fertile, they'll be born pregnant...
  • Tastrix, on 10/08/2008, -0/+4Just from reading this, it sounds like the researchers found an awesome way to use their grant-money:
    "...the earnings of lap dancers in America increased dramatically when they were most fertile - and dropped at other times of the month."
    That requires on-location investigation.
    Damn, I want to go to UCLA!
  • shadowspawn, on 10/08/2008, -1/+5Normalization, people. NORMALIZATION. Think of the sample data.... The same sentence, same words, same women, *different times*.

    NOT comparing different women.

    I know this from when I call my wife at work. She always has the same introduction. I know I'm in for a great night if she picks up the phone and announces herself a certain way, know I'm not getting any, know when I better have dinner ready and the kid's homework done before she gets home, and know when she's just plain busy. Sometimes just on the inhale before she starts.

  • Kickinuarou, on 10/08/2008, -1/+5clay aiken is most fertile all the time, and his pitch is high all the time, does that make him a woman?
  • s0nicfreak, on 10/09/2008, -0/+4Somebody's whipped.
  • copypastry, on 10/08/2008, -0/+3Almost every Mickey in Disneyland/world is played by women.
  • Mockylock, on 10/09/2008, -1/+4My wife must be fertile all the time. Her voice is loud as *****.
  • anotherjack, on 10/09/2008, -0/+3Yep - trying to sound harmless and cute to avoid attack is a good strategy. Anime girls are based on an actual style of communication used by adult women ( who, historically until recently were plenty abused ). Often I find that Japanese women invite you in with soft cute voices, to invite good behavior, but if you ***** with them, they'll clock you. I concur with this strategy.
