Wooooow. Incredible how we make up excuses and then conveniently “find/prove/test” the evidence that miraculously makes those excuses valid.

You wanna know why “men” (or really the AVERAGE man) are the way they are?

THEN GO HERE AND HELP US FIGURE IT OUT:

This is total crap. The experiment that was conducted is often used in game theory to explore how people value the concept of “fairness”.

Another interpretation of the results would be that higher levels of testosterone induce men to engage in behavior to assert their dominance over others, with the share that the subject earns acting as a proxy for rank in a social hierarchy.

So what this study basically says is that men are thrifty, and women are shop-a-holics?!? I can read between the lines.. /snicker

Darn you women and your spending habits!

Hrmm, actually, my wife is much more thrifty than I am… I guess I need some testosterone shots! Keep that oxytocin away from me! I don’t want my wife’s cooties!

Hmm, then how would one explain people like me? I pinch pennies like crazy, and hate to spend any more than I have to. At the same time, I’ll gladly give away anything I have to someone who needs it.

Oh, I’m a MOM.
