Male programming

Science recently confirmed what men have known for centuries
.
Talking to a pretty woman makes men temporarily dumber. 
.
According to a study published in the Journal of Experimental and Social Psychology, men who spend even a short time talking to a woman they find attractive temporarily lose a little of their cognitive function
.
Probably because the man’s brain is consumed with trying to impress the woman.





The study, conducted by psychologists at Radboud University in the Netherlands, took a group of 40 heterosexual males and gave them a standard memory test. 
.
The males then spent seven minutes speaking with males or females before being tested again. 
.
Those who spoke with attractive females scored lower on the memory test the second time than those who spoke with males
.
The more attracted the subjects were to their conversation partners, the lower their second score.





Interestingly, when the team repeated the test with a group of women the results were completely different
.
Women’s scores remained the same regardless of who they spoke with. 
.
The researchers’ theory? 
.
Men are programmed to look for physical cues that a partner is fit for mating
.
So their brain function funnels into impressing women they want to mate with. 
.
Women look for clues that can’t be so easily communicated by physical appearance, so their minds are not similarly affected.
