1/22 Scientific proof that prettier girls are bitchier (and I'm experienced
in getting bitch slapped so this is hardly a surprise):

\_ Runaway Bride. Treat people like shit, get special treatments.
\_ I'd be bitchy too if I was mostly starved, and worked out continually
and judge my self esteem only by the kind of man I could get that

\_ Why do "scientists" often waste money doing researches to find
things that we already know? Just a couple weeks ago I heard on
radio another research which found that people are happier on
weekends than on weekdays.
\_ Because scientists get NSF funds for this that they can use for
renovating their homes. Please rewatch real genius, and look
at what Jerry is doing.
\_ Same reason they lie to get grants about Global Warming.
\_ Right, because the polar caps are melting and the sea
levels are rising for some other reason.
\_ Nice, did they teach you to chant that at hippie church?
\_ Sing up some kumbaya!
\_ Exact same reasons why you should not hire good looking and/or
charming people into your organization UNLESS your organization
has a genuine need for charming/manipulative marketing/MBA type.
Mr. Spock may be logical but he's not going to play golf with
potential clients who may bring in $$$ for your organization.

| news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8464990.stm Printable version Pretty women 'anger more easily' Women on the street Attractive women have higher expectations, the research suggested Attractive women may have the competitive edge by letting their temper flare more, research suggests. Researchers found women who rated themselves as pretty displayed a war-like streak when fighting battles to get their own way. The University of California interviewed 156 female students to gauge their temperament and how they handled conflict. The findings appear in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In the study, the women who believed they were good looking were more likely to respond angrily in disputes than those who rated themselves as less attractive. Attractive women also had higher expectations of what they deserved. Survival of the fittest These were strategies that appeared to work because the same women were better at resolving situations in their favour. When the researchers, led by Dr Aaron Sell, scrutinised the findings further, they found how attractive other people rated the women also tallied. And so did hair colour - with blondes rated as more attractive than brunettes and redheads. The researchers believe the findings have an evolutionary basis, ensuring that the "fittest" people mate and have offspring. In men, they found a similar link but with physical strength rather than attractiveness per se. Consultant psychologist Ingrid Collins, of The London Medical Centre, said the latest findings were interesting but should be interpreted with caution.

An academic study has found that women with fair hair are more aggressive and confident than brunettes or redheads. This is because blondes attract more attention than other women as they are generally viewed by men as more attractive and so are used to getting their own way, the researchers claim. ivana mone Platinum lining: Their blonde hair may have set Celebrity Big Brother contestant Ivan Trump and underwear businesswoman Michelle Mona's apart The study indicated that the more 'special' people feel, judged by physical strength for men and looks for women, the more likely they are to get angry to reach social goals. University of California, who led the research, said: 'We expected blondes to feel more entitled than other young women - this is southern California, the natural habitat of the privileged blonde. The study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. It also found that although blondes are more aggressive, they are less likely than brunettes or redheads to get into an actual fight themselves - possibly to ensure they preserved their looks. Evolutionary psychologist Catherine Salmon, of the University of Redlands, California, said: 'Blondes are more confident in their abilities, although the results do not necessarily support their confidence. ann Unfair: In her blonde days Ann Widdecombe said: 'People talk to me more slowly now' 'Maybe responding to their own stereotypes, brunettes tend to work harder and expect less special treatment. Broadcaster Vanessa Feltz, who admits to dying her hair, has said: 'I become more battling when I'm blonde. Worst rated View all blah blah blah people just love to pigeon hole others so they can cope with the world... she is agressive and therefore a b**ch (or something similar), no matter what colour her hair is. Report abuse "Never underestimate a blonde's ability to estimate exactly how much people underestimate her." I am aggressive b/c I HAVE to be - BECAUSE of the way others view me. People think they'll be able to take advantage of me b/c I am blonde and petite. They don't expect me to stick up for myself, so it throws them off guard. But, I can play the "dumb blonde" and take advantage of others very easily also. |

British psychologist Peter Lovatt, who has conducted rigorous field work in nightclubs, believes he can explain why some booty shaking is hot -- and some is not. The people next to the bar are clutching their drinks tightly. A little closer to the dance floor, people are swaying to the beat and nodding their heads, while under the disco ball others are letting loose, showing creativity and coordination -- or at least trying to. Why are some folks bursting with confidence on the dance floor, when others appear to be stuck to their barstools? And perhaps most importantly: What dance styles are most likely to find you a potential mate? Photo Gallery: I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor If one is to believe psychologist Peter Lovatt, three factors influence how confidently an individual moves on the dance floor -- and how attractive the other gender finds the performance. a psychology professor at the University of Hertfordshire near London who is widely known as "Dr. In January 2009, Lovatt visited a nightclub at his university -- for purely scientific reasons, of course. His mission was to find out which style of dancing was most attractive to the opposite sex, and why. Strutting Their Stuff First of all, his students measured clubbers' ring and index fingers. The relationship between the two fingers is believed to be related to how much testosterone an individual was exposed to in the womb. If the ring finger is longer than the index finger, it suggests a high level of prenatal testosterone. Lovatt and his team observed the dance floor closely and took certain dancers aside for a solo performance. Those selected groovers were then filmed for 30 seconds on a separate dance floor which was, according to Lovatt, "just as lively and noisy as the main dance floor." Lovatt then applied a filter to the footage so that the dancers could only be seen in silhouette, which meant that any viewer had to focus solely on their movements. He showed these films to students, who had to rate the dancers on a five-point scale from "very attractive" to "very unattractive." The results showed that women gave the highest attractiveness ratings to men with the highest levels of prenatal testosterone. The men with the lowest testosterone in turn got the lowest attractiveness ratings. "Men can communicate their testosterone levels through the way they dance," Lovatt told SPIEGEL ONLINE. Subtle Is Better The men who got the female students hot under the collar danced with large movements which were "complexly coordinated." But it's a fine line between hot and not, however: Those men who made big moves but who were less coordinated came across as dominant alpha males -- and were unlikely to win women's hearts. The researchers also found that the size and complexity of the dance moves decreased in parallel with testosterone levels. In women, the link between dancing style and testosterone levels were similar -- but the reaction of men was just the opposite. Dancers with high levels of testosterone moved more parts of their body, with their movements being somewhat uncoordinated, while those with lower testosterone made more subtle movements, especially with their hips. The male students found the latter style most appealing. Lovatt says that he has entered uncharted territory with his research. "There are many people who work with things like dance therapy, but there is currently no one who is studying the psychological aspects of dancing using an experimental approach," he says. From Theory to Practice Lovatt knows his subject matter well -- he himself was a professional dancer until the age of 26. He performed in musicals in large venues around England and also worked on cruise ships. The thought of an academic career barely entered his head at the time. He wasn't even able to read until he was 23, having left school without any qualifications. When he looked at a page in a book, "all I saw was a big black block." "I thought it was ridiculous that I couldn't," he recalls. At the age of 26, he took his A-levels, the standard entry qualification for universities in England, and gave up his career as a professional dancer. He studied English and psychology and went on to conduct research at Cambridge University. He was working on memory and language -- "very theoretical stuff," as he describes it -- when he had a Damascene conversion. "One day I was walking across campus and I thought to myself: This is not me, I don't want to do this anymore." He decided to combine both his interests and started to study the psychology of the performing arts. He found a position at the University of Hertfordshire and set up the course "The Psychology of Dance." But Lovatt didn't just speak about his research -- he also danced in his lectures. He became more and more popular with students and the course was a resounding success. Last October, he was a guest at the Science Museum in London, where he delivered a series of lectures entitled "Dance, Hormones and Sexual Selection." |
