Men will give me ridiculous discounts just because I can flutter my eyelashes. And they buy me crazy stuff just because I'm a young, very attractive lady.

Now, if only I could get someone to pay my rent...

]]> <![CDATA[Hot Chicks Make Dudes Financially Irresponsible]]> @KW03: Please to go and pick up a medical journal. I know plenty of people in the medical field or in biochemistry or neurology (I told y'all I was a dork) who are working hard to cure cancer or develop treatments for it or figure out how to prevent Alzheimers (Omega-3s, y'all!). These studies get BIG dollars, but they don't get a lot of attention because (a) they're not that sexy and (b) they're fairly incremental discoveries. I mean, no one's going to "cure" cancer with a magic pill, but treatment options, screening techniques and prevention methods are developing daily.

@briardahl: I love it. But marketing metrics occupy a lot of my pre-bedtime thinking.

]]> <![CDATA[Hot Chicks Make Dudes Financially Irresponsible]]> Now see I deliberatly wore a skimpy bikini and vey high stilettos too when we went car shopping. When I saw the car I wanted, I simply rolled around on the hood, made ummmp, ohhh, uuuugh, aaaahhhhhhh noises while caressing my breasts and sometimes squeezing my inner thigh and looking deeply into his eyes. I was then given a warm brownies and drove my new car home.

Brigit

]]> <![CDATA[Hot Chicks Make Dudes Financially Irresponsible]]> @KW03: Well the way studies are spun makes them seem silly. They used sexual stimulus because, for the ppl selected- male, hetero-undergrads, it would be a positive stimulus.
What can be said is that, as long as they have to make a decision quickly, activating the nucleus accumbens before making the decision could make you take a higher-risk choice.

The nucleus accumbens is involved with processes like laughter, fear, pleasure, and addiction so the results are not necessarily surprising. Still, stuff like this needs to be done to characterize brain function.

Brigit

]]> <![CDATA[Hot Chicks Make Dudes Financially Irresponsible]]> I am amazed at how little men know about women. They spend years 12-28 working on their pick-up lines, and can't bake box brownies to save their lives. I generalize, but... you put some oil and some water in a bowl and stir it with a spoon! A SPOON! You can make a little pan out of tin foil!

Hubs baked me an apple pie after dating me for six weeks, and I cried and danced around and took photos of the pie, but what I was thinking was, 'If he's not a psycho, I am so marrying him."

Or ok, the whole pan of brownies.

]]> <![CDATA[Hot Chicks Make Dudes Financially Irresponsible]]> @cardboardbelt: Ha: the half I'm kidding about is the half where it's some grand tragedy. The half I'm not kidding about is the half where guys do dumb things in an effort to look good in front of attractive women, even attractive women who are doing jobs and will never see them again. I think there was a headline in The Onion at some point, along the lines of "Waitress Too Pretty To Order Nachos" -- there is a lame and accurate psychology behind that.

]]> <![CDATA[Hot Chicks Make Dudes Financially Irresponsible]]> Shit, George Elliot (AKA Marian Evans) could have told you this like 150 years ago. See Middlemarch, Lydgate's financial downfall after marrying Rosamond.

That said, I am MUCH more interested in brownies than the mutton-dressed-like-lamb at the casinos.

I like economic studies. They serve a purpose and I find them fascinating.

I am a very big dork.

aspiringexpatriate

]]> <![CDATA[Hot Chicks Make Dudes Financially Irresponsible]]> So, the gist of this story is that men like hot chicks. And will make an ass of themselves in order to get one. Where do I sign up for a grant for one of these studies? I'd like to research if men like blow jobs.

]]> <![CDATA[Hot Chicks Make Dudes Financially Irresponsible]]> What's this about a subconscious? I'll have you know, not all of us have one of those, sub-consciouseses.

aspiringexpatriate

]]> <![CDATA[Hot Chicks Make Dudes Financially Irresponsible]]> I think it evens out because I am much LESS likely to spend money if there are naked or half-naked chicks around. I'm sure the casinos and car dealerships are really missing the $14 in my wallet. Hahaha!

not.a.clever.name

]]> <![CDATA[Hot Chicks Make Dudes Financially Irresponsible]]> I'm getting so annoyed by all the inane studies coming out lately. Every study produced that "proves" something completely obvious (women more likely to date less attractive men than vice versa...duh.) is being funded with a lot of money. Did you ever think when you read these things - they got a GD grant to study this crapola. They aren't even addressing any important sociological issues, they seem to all be trying to prove that single women over 30 are going to die alone or some variation of that. Seriously, who is funding this shit? How about *studying* cancer instead ye fecktards?

KW03

]]> <![CDATA[Hot Chicks Make Dudes Financially Irresponsible]]> I don't subconsciously crave brownies. I'm currently fully conscious of my brownie craving, and desperately trying to figure out how to get my hands on one.

RyanB

]]> <![CDATA[Hot Chicks Make Dudes Financially Irresponsible]]> @tetragami: I dunno: if they were already fully naked, there'd be less reason to take risks in the effort to accomplish anything.

This is non-news to us poor men, who are constantly being manipulated, oppressed, and exploited via the strategic deployment of, you know, stuff like really pretty waitresses we can't resist over-tipping. It's an American tragedy. (Do I need to add any other over-the-top lines here to be absolutely clear that I'm half-kidding?)

briardahl

]]> <![CDATA[Hot Chicks Make Dudes Financially Irresponsible]]> I don't believe the image of the bikini women is all that irrelevant. Men often buy expensive cars/homes/gold chains as a way of conveying their financial hotness to women.

Also, after viewing semi-naked women, men are more likely to take other risks too, including physical ones.
