Men Buy Nice Cars To Get Laid...And It Works!

Depicted Above: Guy about to get laid.

The usual assumption you make when you see a guy driving a nice flashy sports car is "Oh, he's just trying to make up for his small package." But the real reason is very close. According to a series of studies done at Rice University, which consisted of about 1000 individuals, humans respond to flashy and luxury items very similarly to how peacocks respond to the flashing of their vibrant feathers. In other words, most men who bought porches, ferraris, and other flashy items did so because they were seeking immediate short-term sexual relationships. On the other hand, men who were looking for serious relationships and potential life-long partners avoided looking flashy.

As always, women already know this. But despite that fact, they instinctually responded just like peacocks. Women asked to rate a man's attractiveness showed drastically different results based on only two factors: the car he was driving and the woman's sexual intentions. If the woman was only interested in a short fling, she would rate a man getting into a Porsche as much more attractive than the same man getting into a Honda Civic. Alternatively, women looking for a serious (and possibly life-long) relationship would rate the man getting into the Honda Civic as being more attractive, partially because they recognize the fact (or simply have a hunch) that the man driving the Porsche is not looking for anything serious.

The moral of the story: Driving a nice car usually means women won't take you seriously. But sometimes this can definitely be a good thing :D

Have You Ever Cheated On a Loved One? It Might Not Be Your Fault!

As much of a promiscuous a**hole as your girl/boyfriend at the time made you out to be, science has stepped in to your defense. While it may not have been the 'right' thing to do, new genetic research strongly suggests that it was more or less bound to happen.

While it was noted prior to this study that children of parents who have been promiscuous in the past are twice as likely to cheat themselves, the exact cause of this relationship remained unknown until now. When observing zebra finches, a species of bird which are socially monogamous (they stick to their partner), it was noted that some of the birds 'cheat' on their beloved. The researchers then took the eggs of those flirty birds and placed them in the nests of bird couples who remained strictly monogamous. They did this in order to ensure that these hatchlings would be brought up by monogamous parents.

After studying 5 generations of zebra finches (1,554 birds), the researchers ran a thorough genetic analysis of the birds, and discovered that the birds whose parents were promiscuous were much more likely to cheat on their partners than those whose parents remained faithful to each-other. "The birds could not have learned this behavior from their randy parents, since foster parents raised them. They must have inherited a tendency for it."

However, this doesn't mean you're completely off the hook! Researchers note that despite this intriguing relationship, promiscuity in humans still remains a complex behavior involving many variables such as how attractive the other person is, how much alcohol you've consumed, how much 
you care for your partner, etc..
