OT Ladies, scientific proof it's not our fault

Submitted by HelloHeisman91 on
Perhaps the biggest difference between the male and female brain is that men have a sexual pursuit area that is 2.5 times larger than the one in the female brain. Not only that, but beginning in their teens, they produce 200 to 250 percent more testosterone than they did during pre-adolescence. If testosterone were beer, a 9-year-old boy would be getting the equivalent of a cup a day. But a 15-year-old would be getting the equivalent of nearly two gallons a day. This fuels their sexual engines and makes it impossible for them to stop thinking about female body parts and sex. http://www.cnn.com/2010/OPINION/03/23/brizendine.male.brain/index.html?…

I'm sure glad I don't know any 15 year old ladies (or ladies of any age) producing 2 gallons of testosterone a day ... If i did, I would probably wish i didn't

Now if someone could explain the need to have a HAWT CHICK as one's avatar on a sports forum as anything other than a LOOK HOW STRAIGHT I AM gesture, we might be on to something

Is that why I want to drink all the time? Am I making up for less testosterone? Can I convince my pregnant, and therefore unable to drink, wife that I need to drink more scotch?

Why are you posting this to us? None of us are ladies. And don't start with these fabled "female MGoBlog users." I'm pretty sure they're middled aged persons who have penises.

"Perhaps the biggest difference between the male and female brain is that men have a sexual pursuit area that is 2.5 times larger than the one in the female brain." Probably four times as large on me, UP TOP BRAHS

But don't expect this to win you any arguments. Example: "But Honey its not my fault my sex lobe is 2.5 times bigger than yours." "Oh really? Have fun sleeping on the couch."

Never meant to make fun of his wife. I was more pointing towards the fact he was killed if my facts are correct (fingers crossed) by his mistress while sleeping on her couch because she found out he was cheating on her with a third girl. It definately was in poor taste but struck me funny with the post a couple spots up...

This article is also proof that women can't do math.* If pre-teen levels of testosterone is compared to a cup of beer (a cup is 8 oz) then producing 250% more after teenage years would be 3.5 cups or 28 oz. Two gallons would be 256 ounces. Even if you go with 12 oz of beer (because who drinks 8 oz of beer?) for the pre-teen levels that only makes it 42 ounces after you've grown up. Maybe there is actually more involved in this testosterone to beer comparison that makes the numbers work out right. However, if there is I would be more interested in that than this article. To paraphrase Blazefire, "duh." * Note: This article is actually only proof that this woman and her editors can't do math.** ** Note: This article is actually not proof of anything. It has not been published in a peer-reviewed mathematical journal.

Men have a MFT (metric fuck ton) of one hormone: Testosterone. We use it as much as it uses us, but hey, at least we're consistent. Women have a MFT of DIFFERENT hormones (ok, maybe 4, but that's 400% more than 1!), not just estrogen. But the heart of the matter is this... their levels in relation to each other are constantly in flux. If you want to know why men are rational at most times other than when is/is not a good time/person to get laid... see paragraph 1. If you want to know why women are batshit crazy at both predictable and unpredictable intervals... see paragraph 2.

muliplies exponentially when they get pregnant. I was under the assumption that things would return to normal eventually... My daughter is 4 months old now and I'm still waiting for her return to a semblance of sanity.

This whole "women have nonexistent sex drive" issue is a direct result of the Victorian era. Before that, in Western society the female sex drive was considered much more insatiable than the male one because of their ability to have multiple orgasms and to continue having sex uninterrupted after orgasm. Obviously this caused male anxieties and had to be repressed. Thanks society! /Humanities requirement FTW HOWEVA, I have no reasoning for batshit insanity. Sorry.
