OT Ladies, scientific proof it's not our fault
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.

Wet.
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
You beat me to the punch ... but this works too

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

I enjoy looking at a hot woman after I post.

THIS MAN HERE LIKES TO LOOK AT PRETTY WOMEN
LET IT BE KNOWN FROM THIS DAY FORTH THAT HE MOST CERTAINLY DOES NOT LIKE DUDES

Hey, you actually posted words.

Don't tempt me.
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?
Not unless she wants to get pregnant again.
Divisive.
“2.5 times larger than the female brain.”
maybe I'm missing something. 2 things confuse me:
1. When did women get brains?
2. How did the author write this in kitchen?
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.
It's for the male users that may find themselves in a compromising position in the future. It never hurts to be educated.
Compromising position is the idea, no?
NOW YOU KNOW!!!
That was really funny!
Testosterone does a 40 year old woman produce? Because my experience suggests they are ready for the "opening tip."
"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
Are you “The Todd” from Scrubs?
Also 2.5 times larger: the logic area and the not-batshit-insane area.
the rational decisions and the actually-wants-solutions-to-problems-when-discussing-them areas.

Even my 12 year old son knows what feminine logic is.
Boobies!
I feel better about myself after reading that.
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."
argue? Seduce!
I wonder if thats how Steve McNair's last convo went????
Too soon???

A painful loss or something is one thing.
Dude murdered by his girlfriend? Yeah... always too soon. You can make fun of OJ, but you probably shouldn't ever make fun of his wife, you know?
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...
I meant you shouldn't laugh at the victim in a mortal tragedy.
I think your logic makes sense i.e would never laugh at the little girl who gets killed by a drunk driver. The guy who was "Tiger Woodsing" and got shot for it. Agree to disagree.
Now if only they could discover some benefits to swallowing...
... Oh wait! They did:

I once knew a woman who believed that swallowing eased symptoms from "that time of month." Far be it from me to come between someone and their beliefs.

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.
March 25th, 2010 at 10:33 AM ^
That's how long it takes to return to a semblance of sanity. You're better off getting used to the insane person and then one day you'll be pleasantly surprised when she's acting almost rational again.
(I sure hope my wife never checks my bookmarks)

a Michigan football fan? I'm assuming, since she is married to you, she has at the very least acquired an appreciation or love for Michigan football. Please tell me that doesn't go away as a result of pregnancy/hormones.
Growing up in this area, being a PSU fan is a requirement. But, once she met a Michigan fan that's a PSU alum it was like taking the red pill for her. Now she actually makes sure we're home for Michigan sports on TV.
She actually said, "He's a Sparty" when we were talking about a person we know who graduated from MSU.

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.
March 25th, 2010 at 11:37 AM ^
-menism.
March 25th, 2010 at 12:25 PM ^
-lousy?
And if it was feminism talking, the batshit insanity would obviously be blamed on men.
What the heck would I do with more than one orgasm? After 45 minutes for the first one, my abs hurt for three days.
Exactly, not a problem here.
