Obvious Study of the Day Report: Men Show Off To Women

Here's one of those studies you probably didn't need science to tell you: guys show off to impress women.

In the experiment, a group of men and women (on the younger side, with an average age of 21) were given the opportunity to donate money to a fund, knowing they would get nothing in return other than the pride of their selflessness. Whether they were watched or not, women donated at the same rate. But men, when watched by women, donated at higher rates. They didn’t donate at higher rates when men watched.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm sure flabbergasted by this one. Who would have guessed?

Yes, but so are the women who fall for it. It cuts both ways.

CreamK, I don't think you understand what sarcasm is do you?

If you're flabbergasted by that, you really don't know a lot of men... It's the equivalent of beating our chest the loudest among other apes.

The flip side to "Behind every great man is a woman", is "behind every stupid guy stunt is a chick in a bikini."

Yeah, but I enjoy every moment. Remember being greeted by a bevy of lovely ladies outside Publix before Christmas by the red kettle. I dropped in a nice donation.
