Beautiful women can be bad for your health, according to scientists

Just five minutes alone with an attractive female raise the levels of cortisol, the body's stress hormone, according to a study from the University of Valencia.

The effects are heightened in men who believe that the woman in question is "out of their league".

Cortisol is produced by the body under physical or psychological stress and has been linked to heart disease.

Researchers tested 84 male students by asking each one to sit in a room and solve a Sudoku puzzle. Two strangers, one male and one female, were also in the room.

When the female stranger left the room and the two men remained sitting together, the volunteer's stress levels did not rise. However, when the volunteer was left alone with the female stranger, his cortisol levels rose.

TITLE: If You Wanna Be Happy
Lyrics and Chords


{Refrain}
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

/ C D / Bm Em / C D / D7 G /

{Refrain}

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he marries her, then she starts
Doin' the things that will break his heart

/ G - / D G / G - / D G /

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
You'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks your meals on time
An she'll always give you peace of mind

{Refrain}

Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly and her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch

{Refrain}

Eating too much red meat!:grr:

Thank you for the heads-up, Dahlink, I mean, FarCenter.

if the same thing wouldnt happen.

oh wait... we will never know because the whole purpose of these studies is to promote a certain conditioning.

You think a bunch of researchers got together in a meeting room and said, "Hmmm. What study can we do next to promote the sex roles and stereotypes we decided to propagate at the last committee meeting of the Gender Role Imposition Board"?

Sounds kinda like Republicon Socialism

...to study, but that's very different from saying "the whole purpose" of such studies is the promotion of some sort of agenda.

Exactly points what out? I think in your urge for dramatic "so THERE!" terseness you sacrificed too much clarity.

but cute.... lol

Studies like this act like an attractive female has no subjectivity of her own. How 'bout they measure the cortisol of women who have to put up with this bullshit day in and day out?!

Besides, there is a study somewhere that shows everything is bad for you. If I'm going down, let me go down eating a steak, drinking wine, and with a beautiful woman.

Don't make a pretty woman your wife,
Go for my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you!
