Beware Ladies, Men Do Have Sex On Their Mind

(An edited version on an excerpt from NST 2006)

Beware ladies when you are engaging in a friendly or social conversation or anything that is equavalent with men.

Scientists have found out that, most of the time men do have sex on their brain. Men seem frequently to be mistaken friendliness for flirting when they talk to a woman and believe a sexual chemistry is there when none exists.

A research by American reserachers on 43 male universities students who were paired off with female students aged between 18 and 22 , where each pair was sent to a room and encouraged to have a five-minute conversation about college life, and later they were asked to rate their partners on extroversion, agreeableness and physical attractiveness and judged sexual traits such as flirtatiousness, seductiveness and promiscuity, found that;

1. Men were much more likely than woman to infer a sexual chemistry,

2. Men are prone to oversexualise conversations with women,

3. Those who see themselves as sexy are more likely to perceive a sexual dynamic,

4. Women and men perceive sexiness in different ways where;

* women link sexiness with attributes such as extroversion and friendliness,

* men tend to rate sexiness with physical attractiveness where a pyhiscally attractive woman would be rated as sexier.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why women were encouraged not to expose their physical assets in the public and not to engage in long, extremely friendly or inimate conversion with men who were not related to them!
