Does this mean that all men are perverts? :Q

how do they know we think of sex every 52 seconds?

ok ill admit i think of it alot, and in increasing amounts when i eventually get to go down to lboro to see my gf, but some days im so busy i know i dont conciously think about it.

Hmmm...that makes sense. We'd have to turn up the frequency since there's only once chance a day that we'd both be on the same wavelength.

Well that article, and I'm sure the book as well, was a long winded load of junk.

Load of crap, as a somewhat perv guy myself whos always thinking about the gf etc, I would say 5 to 5 mins is more accurate, but women thinking about sex once a day is TOTAL BULLSHIT! maybe 30 min - 1 hour at best.. 1 day? Not a chance

It's sadly true. A few of my classes have been all male - the guys would occasionally just cut loose during class. Pathetic.

"OMG, I just got a P4 Quad core 5GHz CPU!! E-penis +5!!!!! Ego +10!"

"Damn, I was with this totally awesome, hot, smart woman last night.*"

or
Just about any story that inflates a man's ego, without regards to truth or even truthiness.

this was written by a woman. biased. i know so many woman that have never heard of the word logic in their life.

Also, is the author talking about actual hearing, like picking up sounds; because I would think that since men were the hunters in hunter-gatherer societies, men would have a far more acute sense of hearing than women. For example trying to listen for the footsteps of prey (men) is far more difficult than listening to someone speak (women). But alas, I am no expert in this stuff.



Another thing:

The areas responsible for communication, emotion and memory are all pared back the unborn baby boy.

What type of memory is she talking about, there are many kinds.
I cant remember names very well at all, but I am very good a remembering the faces of people I've seen before (i just cant put a name to the face :)).
Also, I think its been proven that men have greater ability to remember landmarks which allowed for better path finding during hunts during the Hunter-Gatherer societies.

I have a lot of days where I don't speak much at all.It would actually be pretty easy to go thru several days just speaking when it's about something immediate ie: what do you want to eat? type questions.
