When men see red, they see hot: study

I was reading the Yahoo news and I find this piece of news interesting.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - - The popular ballad "Lady in Red" is poised to take on a whole new meaning: a study published Tuesday showed that the color red makes men see women as hotter or, more scientifically put, more attractive.

Researchers from the University of Rochester in New York conducted five psychological experiments to demonstrate that the color red makes men feel more amorous toward women.

In the experiments, groups of young men looked briefly at a picture of a moderately attractive woman printed on a red background, and the same woman then on a white, grey or green background. They also looked at a woman in red clothing, and the same one in blue clothing.

The men found the lady with a red background more attractive, both physically and sexually.

Comparing the woman in a red shirt to the same woman dressed in blue, men said they were more likely to ask the lady in red on a date and to lavish more money on her.

As part of one of the experiments, as well, the researchers sought to see whether a group of women were similarly more attracted to the woman shown against a red backdrop than a background of a different color. They were not.

What the researchers call the "red-sex link" could have roots in humans' biological heritage.

For instance, among primates, females display more red on parts of their body when they are nearing ovulation, probably to attract the male of the species.

"Research has shown that male primates are indeed particularly attracted to female conspecifics exhibiting red," the study says.

To the authors of the study, University of Rochester psychology professor Andrew Elliot and post-graduate researcher Daniela Niesta, the experiments' findings confirm what "women have long suspected and claimed: that men act like animals in the sexual realm."

And, they added, the fact that men are more turned on by women in red also confirms that, although men like to think that they respond to women "in a thoughtful and sophisticated manner, it appears that at least to some degree their preferences and predilections are, in a word, primitive."

Lazy !!!!

It has been sometime since I have blog.
I have been lazy. Currently, I am not in the mood to work now.

I had an enjoyable past weekend.

On the 1st October, I went on board the Singapore Flyer with dear.
It was really a blessing that we got an empty cabin.
We had an enjoyable ride up in the sky.

I happened to bump into Cherisse, Melinda and Jason in town last
Saturday after my Birthday dinner with my parents and god parents.
After Gwern knock off from work, we caught a midnight movie titled
“Connected”

I was reading Meiyan bloggy and this quotes came from her bloggy
which her friend have SMS her.

"Guys marry their wives thinking they wont change but
they do. Women marry their husbands expecting them
to change but they dont."

"Women forgives but never forgets while Men forgets but
never forgives..."

I am not sure to agree with the above said statements or not.

I feel that when both parties intends to get married, both parties
should accept the good and the bad or rather each other strength
and weaknesses and not thinking how you as a husband could
change their wife or how as a wife could change their husband.

In a relationship, I believe that both parties should share their
views when they are unhappy with something and see how best
to deal with the situaltion. Both party could come into agreement
and not just arguing and cold war.

I still believe that women are genuinely soft in nature.
