I had math anxiety before I even hit puberty.

I would think i would have a tough time concentrating if someone was staring at my chest too and i'm a guy.

It's generally hard to have a conversation when someone isn't lookin in your eyes.

I'm not sure hubby would even recognize my face.

I think the women staring at the men's chest was to show that just being stared at didn't affect their score. It was a control. It wasn't meant to test the sexual component.

behavior that women could use to subtly show their interest in the male subjects

Funny I was thinking about that last night while watching all those tight football player butts. I don't know what could have made me think of that then??

32 Actually I've conducted this experiment at home and have found that lightly running my hand up the inside of my husband's thigh from about knee level up to a cut off point right before his crotch (with gradual lessening of the pressure going up) makes him a complete moron.

I think I need a grant so I can further this research -- volunteers don't come cheap, neither does Patron (paper writing aid).  It would be a sacrifice to put it all together, but I'm willing to make it for this important stuff.

C-SPAN? (or do you mean breasts?)

anyone besides me remember in the Clinton Years when we were told that women didn't do as well in math as men did because men invented math in line with male thinking?

Lol....that was kinda implied.

54 Speak for yourself...I loved scoping out men when I was younger, and my husband's fine booty was one of his charms I noticed right off the bat.

I also didn't mind men ogling me back in the day...just as long as it didn't cross the line...then you have to smack them down (but that's up to the women not being wimpy, whiny little victim Vanas...which is where modern feminisim led them).

Hey, it was hell staring at attractive women's sweater puppies all day. This was almost as tough as  when we studied the effects of pushup bras on women doing calisthenics.

The sacrifices we make....for SCIENCE!

Getting the idea that someone finds you attractive is a distractingly pleasant little pellet of affirmation. One might seek out that good feeling again if one had a chance.

Laura, I think you're hot and want to stare at your tits.  Feel good? 

That's the problem: women should be more honest about doing it, and should engage in it more.  It would solve a lot of problems -- at least that's my theory.

Agreed.  We (guys) need verbal clues . . . because we're stupid.  Well, at least I am.

Oh yeah, full disclosure would cause panic in the streets!

WOW.  I would NEVER have guessed this.

*rolling eyes*

They spent money on this study?  Seriously?  Did they have a brawl with the South African Dick Washing researchers to see which group could find a more wasteful use for scientific funding?

If a guy is checking out my chest, my FIRST thought is going to be, "Crap, did I get egg on my shirt?"  THEN it's going to be, "Hey... is he staring at my bosom?" (because apparently I'm a character in a 1960's British sitcom).  Then it's going to be, "Oh, FRIG!  Three minutes left and I've only answered six questions!  Goddammit!"

Seriously, scientists.  Just ask any woman you meet, she'll probably give you a variation on that same theme.

Kratos, when did you have your balls removed?

The degree of male stoopidization when in the presence of attractive females would have been a more useful study.  That has the potential to be weaponized in some fashion.  Imagine - a cluster munition that spreads pics of hot chicks around a battle field before an attack.  While the enemy males break cover to run around picking up all the naughty leaflets, a secondary munition goes off overhead...  Given the enthusiasm for pron in the ME, such a tactic would probably be doubly effective there.

You all miss the REAL meaning of this study.

1. Women Nationaly score worse on standarized Math tests then men.

2. This study shows that when those Sexist Men, stare at breasts, Math scores in Women are Lower.

3. Ergo, the Lower National Math scores for Women, are ALL MENS FAULT!  As we know those sexist Pigs of men cannot stop from staring at our breasts.

We will now sue, so that all Math scores for women are adjusted UP, to counteract this blatant historical bias.

Don't they have cream pies over there?

PHRASING!

All this nonsensical squibbling over sacks of flesh and fat coupled to a mammary gland.  Hah, doesn't sound so appealing now.

Wow, thanks for killing my erection, Kratos!

You guys still watch and/or listen to that retard?

Man, you guys really are morons!

Posted by: MWR at February 07, 2011 11:55 AM (4df7R)

I disagree.  I think the finding that the women affected by the men's stares want more interaction with those same men tells us that those women are grateful that the guys gave them a distraction from the a math test.  They clearly weren't interested in doing well on the test, and the guys checking out their racks gave them some relief from the mental stress of the test.

Shh! It will only encourage him.

It's a real shame because Bret Baier had done such a great interview of the shithead right before the last health care vote. 

93 This is that wimpification of women I was talking about -- now if they really wanted to empower the females vis a vis this math oppression by the males they'd teach them to 1)recognize the gaze; 2)work with the gaze while learning to ignore it.

Like when some horny ass engineer is ogling your t/a/l during one of those standardized tests, instead of getting flustered you: look over, give him a wink, show him a bit more skin and lean over and whisper "getting a better view now?"...then go about your merry test taking way knowing there's one male you are going to be scoring a bit better than on this test (and he probably won't do it again because a lot of men are inherently bashful when caught out like that). 

Give the women an Ice cream cone to eat and men won't be able to solve 2+2.

Found that out as one of the very few women in my basic training company.  Eating meals with the men.......you learned to shy away from the popsicles for dessert.  The silence was deafening and the hot glow of the stares intense.

World's Strongest Beer Goes on Sale in Scotland
"Sink The Bismarck" is believed to be the strongest beer in the world with a 41% alcohol content. Brewed by Scottish firm BrewDog it costs £55 for a 330ml bottle.

That's approximately $89 for about 11oz.  For comparison, according to the font of knowledge Wikipedia, vodka is usually in the 40% alcohol by volume range; beer is usually closer to 6%.

Nah.  It's just a woman master brewer who has men staring at her tits all day.

That's funny, MRW, the name.

At my undergrad there was a game called 'Sink the Bismark' that is almost the exact opposite or being high end. You take this big bucket and fill it with water. You go around the table and each person drops their beer in a big beer stein. The first that 'sinks the stein' has to drink it.

And it's usually naaaaaaasty. I mean we played it in collij so we were usually drinking Natty Light. Even worse, people may not be drinking the same beer. So that stein may be filled with Natty, Bud, Coors etc.

It triggers my gag reflext just thinking about it.

The thing is, with a guy, it depends on whether he's attracted to the woman, or not.   If he finds her attractive, she distracts him no matter where she looks.  If he doesn't find her attractive, he doesn't care what she's doing.

From CA.  Can't remember her name, though.  Just saw it on FNC.

“We found that the objectifying gaze caused decreased math performance for women, but somewhat ironically we also found that the same women that were objectified also wanted more interaction with the person that had objectified them,”

Objectified?  Methinks that grant money went to a group that Rush would call "Femi-Nazis". 

Was the test done to show if these woman reacted the same if it was another woman staring at their body cones?  That would have been the 'control'.  Not women staring at men's chests.

On the contrary - something that is too ubiquitous loses its appeal.  All things must be metered out in the right measure.  Besides - I say it proves there's a God, because only an infinitely intelligent being could devise such clever ways to make men put aside their own best interests so readily, in order to ensure the perpetuation of our benighted species.

I've seen a few guys at strip clubs and they all have the same blank, slack-jawed, mesmerized look on their face.  These were not guys ready to solve math problems.

It was some years later before I saw the same blank, slack-jawed, mesmerized look on a young woman's face at Mardi Gras in Austin who had been hoisted up on a guy's shoulders and took off her top.  When the crowd of men ogled her, she went into that same trance.  I doubt that she could have added two plus two at the moment.
