Were u talking to a women with big boobs right before you wrote that?

Yes, kim is a girl, i knw cause she thinks im cute (I think lolololol) and i seen her facebook pics

I don't know of any other girl on this forum

That thing doesn't make sense. I can talk to women easy! Just not when I want it to go past friendship

That's when my brain goes out and my I.Q. drops 300....

War Man turned this thread from ok to hilarious.

Interacting with the opposite sex will make men's brains stop working, say psychologists at the Radboud University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands.

MEN aren't the brightest of creatures at the best of times. And new research shows that talking to attractive women makes them even dimmer.What’s more, researchers think that men are so busy showing off in an attempt to pull that their brain has no capacity for anything else.(so true speaking from expereince) lol

The study found that after speaking to a female, men become markedly less competent at tasks like maths or word games. And if that woman is someone the man finds attractive, they become even worse.

Perhaps predictably, women were completely unaffected.

The trial, by psychologists at Radboud University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands, asked whether interaction with the opposite sex affects cognitive function. They made participants – both male and female – talk with a stranger, of either sex, and complete a cognitive task, like mental arithmetic, before and after the interaction.

When men – whether single or not – spoke to women, their ability to carry out the task dropped. But when they spoke to other men, their abilities remained unchanged. Women’s performance stayed the same throughout.

The researchers suggest that men are more likely than women to "consider mixed-sex interactions in terms of a mating game", meaning that they are "prone to engage in effortful and cognitively demanding attempts to impress an opposite-sex partner" – or, in layman’s terms, they are always trying to get the woman into bed, and that takes brainwork.

oh yea do you find this study to be true? I find it to be true to some extent it seems plausible if you are trying to impress the girl the last thinking u are thinking about is math.... but yea seems very interesting... comment, discuss? What you think any truth to this or no?

The Dutch, including those form the university of Noviomagus, are full of crapt. I know, I've lived amongst them since birth. The research method is just flawed, being worse at maths has nothing to do with reduced brain efficiency. They have simply tested whether men, under a certain situation, perform worse on one specific task.

Personally I don't know if I'm worse at maths when talking to pretty women (damn, this particular combination of object and adjective still starts a tune in my head and an image of Julia Roberts in a red dress), because I have never tried to do maths when talking to a pretty woman. It would be pretty nerdy if I did and she would probably just run straight away. In that respect, one could say that not being able to do maths on such an occasion, might actually be evidence of an increase in brain efficiency as the brain drops trivial functions in favour of those required (social skills in this case).

For me in any case it is not true, as I find usually myself unusually relaxed in (agreeable) female presence, thus I can think much clearer. I also find that if the respective female company consist of a girl I really want to impress, I become much sharper. My mathematical skills may fail a little, but other skills like observative and artistic skills become much better. Hell, I even wrote perfect Cyrillic once this way

That is what created vengeance seeking nerds(VSNs) in th first place, thankfully I ain't exactly a nerd.
