CONFIRMED: MEN ARE FUCKING DUMB!

Researchers found they take greater risks in order to impress and as a result become more accident prone. They show that just looking at an attractive woman makes them more likely to indulge in "physical risk-taking" which ends in embarrassing failure or even injury.The change in behaviour is triggered by a surge in the male hormone testosterone which makes men "throw caution to the wind", according to psychologists at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia. They made the finding after a studying young male skateboarders. In tests, the team used both male and female observers to watch how the men performed their manoeuvres at a local park. Results revealed that they "took more risks when they were observed by an attractive female than when they were observed by a male. «This increased risk-taking led to more successes but also more crash landings in front of the female observer. "Saliva tests confirmed they had "elevated testosterone levels" while a good-looking woman was around.
