A new scientific study has been published that can’t be ignored. Basically all of our suspicions about men have been scientifically proven. I won’t even have to be witty or clever about it, I will just simply quote the article.
“Researchers used brain scans to show that when straight men looked at pictures of women in bikinis, areas of the brain that normally light up in anticipation of using tools, like spanners and screwdrivers, were activated.”
Ah! According to Men’s brains, woman = screwdriver. They think of us on the same level as a hammer or a wrench. Great, right? But wait; it get’s so much better!
“Scans of some of the men found that a part of the brain associated with empathy for other peoples’ emotions and wishes shut down after looking at the pictures.”
So here’s how it works: Man sees woman in bikini. Man thinks “Mmmm….tooools.” The human part of Man’s brain literally shuts off. Yay!
Thus women understand 85% of their interactions with heterosexual males. But wait…it actually gets EVEN BETTER.
“In the study, Fiske’s team put straight men into an MRI brain scanner and showed them images of either clothed men and women, or more scantily clad men and women. When they took a memory test afterwards, the men best remembered images of bikini-clad women whose heads had been digitally removed.”
Now women, we have a new strategy. How many times have you thought, “why didn’t he call?” The answer is he can’t remember you because you have a face. If you want a guy to call you, you simply have to follow 2 easy steps.
1. Wear a bikini
2. Wear a ski mask
3. (Optional) Carry a power drill and/or tool belt
Now if you follow these steps you are on your way to snagging a man. Just remember once you have him, try not to have feelings or desires….or a face. This will only confuse him.

I like Kelsy’s idea as it’ll be the man alternative to Valentines Day.

I think we need to have a month holiday called dont give men sex month.. Too many of us fall into their lies and have sex with them and make it tooo easy for them to never have to have any thought about how we feel when they are out chasing the next conquest..I dont believe anything a man says anymore..Most of them lie their butts off just to get sex then they either move on or come back to lie again and get more..Or worse, live with you or marry you and look at other women behind your back or cheat if they can get away with it..We as women are part of the problem for making it so easy for them..I think our grandmas had it easier than we do because grandma probably made the guy respect her and wait for it and prove his love first.

Like most families, mine gathers around the dinner table on Thanksgiving and (after making fun of each other for a few minutes) shares what they are most thankful for that year.
