Study: Men Lose Minds Talking to Women

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - A new study says men become less intelligent when they're trying to impress attractive women.

The study published in the Journal of Experimental and Social Psychology found that men who spend even a few minutes in the company of an attractive woman perform less well in tests designed to measure brain function than men who talked to women they didn't find attractive, according to the Telegraph .

Psychologists believe this happens because males are "reproductively focused," meaning that men are programmed by evolution to think more about mating opportunities.

Women were not affected by speaking to a handsome man, the study concluded.

Psychologists at Radboud University in The Netherlands carried out the study after one of them was so struck on impressing an attractive woman he had never met before, that he could not remember his address when she asked him where he lived.

Talking to women is an art form that men have been trying to master for hundreds of years.
