Dangerous Curves
An interesting thing about scientific studies , they reveal a lot about human behavior while further confirming what we already see every day. I read this article, Curvy women like a drug to men’s brains, yesterday that stated, “For the study, 14 men with the average age of 25 looked at “before” and “after” pictures of nude women who had plastic surgery to get more shapely behinds.” Researchers concluded by the male response that, “photos of the women resulted in increased activity in the part of the brain associated with rewards.”
Well, I suppose this study has a lot a lot of merit, but any nude picture of women is bound to to cause some kind of stimuli in a man. I found it interesting that they attributed the male’s biological response as scientific explanation of “sexual harassment, whistling to women on the street, etc. They even said that some of this research can be used in understanding more about sexual addiction. (Insert your own famous golfer joke here).
What do you think about the research? Do you think women should be studied to see what they’re response to the male form is? After seeing Alvin Ailey male dancers perform, I can attest to being “mesmerized” by the physical male body. It’s a beautiful thing. Oh yes, it is. But I digress.
What do you think this study says about how men and women perceive each others physical appearance? How does this show up in how we interact on the dating scene? Should women play up or play down their dangerous curves if they want to attract the right kind of attention?

Melo ~ I see that. LOL But for just a compliment? But really I understand things/words/posts can easily come across differently for some. I just never liked a whole lot of back and forth just to prove who gets the last word. Whats the point? I will keep that in mind though.
Out of nowhere just because I don’t blog EVERYDAY? How elementary…With all that said I’m aware of the world we live in but honestly I have too much to lose. IMO it seems some women tend to expect to receive compliments from the men but when was the last time you gave someone a compliment, particularly a man without expecting anything in return???
…to include his email addy LOLOLOL! Im so sorry DreamsM I could not resist.

Nina, I know you’re crazy now becuase most days, I’m not here nor blogging. So whatever it is you’re feeling that you get from the masses you couldn’t possible be talking about me. Honey, it’s a blog and NEVER that deep with me. When I logged in, I’m logged in but when I’m not trust, I’m not. Oh, because you so don’t know, a couple more back and forths with Melo and you’ll find yourself in a tryst. Goes to show how much you know and pay attention.

lurker ~ Are you finished now???? Let us move on from such juvenile banter. We’re women. I’m sure we can be ladies about this because if my memory serves me correctly you are NOT usually so combative. Usually you come across as if the neck/eye rolling, finger popping is beneath you…its certainly beneath me. It makes no sense to behave this way.
I do hope you experience a better day tomorrow. Afterall I still look forward to reading you all on future topics.
Have a good evening everyone.

Random things heard at my job:
“Scuse me? Why my name come out your mouth???”
“Help they trying to kill me, she knew I was allergic to seafood but she made me eat anyway”
“Why is this person (employee) calling for the number of (insert company here)??? We aren’t them!
