"Flirt" hormone may trigger affairs

[Gards]

I just finished an article that some here may find interesting.It was headlined as above.And started out thus.
Beautiful busty women may be more likely to have affairs because of a female horemone linked to flirtatiousness and fertility,research shows.
A study published in the journal Biology Letters yesterday found women with high levels of oestradiol-a form of oestrogen linked to fertility-considered themselves more attractive and were found to be more sexy by men and other women.
They were also more likelyto have affairs and change partners regularly,scientistsfrom the Univerity of Texas reported.
Dr Kristina Durante a psychologist and author of the report said high female oestradiol levels were associated with attractive facial features,large breasts and a low waist-to-hip ratio-features men consider appealing.
The hormone is also linked to high conception probability,with women more likely to accept sexual advances when their oestradiol levels are high.

It goes on but im sure you get the gist.There is no link but the article was in the Melbourne Age.Which is I think www.theage.com.au

Is it hot in here or is that your oestradiol level?

So attractive, busty women are more desirable? Fascinating.

So, that explains it... and all this time I was wondering...

[Michelino]

So attractive, busty women are more desirable? Fascinating.

I think it is suggesting that they are more attainable.

Then again.... from the good doctor's website (http://homepage.psy.utexas.edu/homepage/students/Durante/):

"My primary area of interest is evolutionary social psychology, with emphasis on intrasexual competition, consumer behavior, mating strategies, conflict between the sexes, and the physiological mechanisms involved in competitive behavior and mate choice."

I am not sure of my translations of academic mumbo-jumbo, but I think that might actually say:
"I am addicted to Internet dating"

The research article was published in the journal Duh.

It reminds me of this classic:

Great...now there's ANOTHER hormonal excuse for otherwise unacceptable female behavior!! :rolleyes:

[glinda]

hmmm maybe I DO need some hormone therapy....

[MaloGator]

And here I was thinking it was ME all this time. That's just f***ing great.;)

[Festering]

I guess the only thing more clueless than the original research would be asking what this has to do with Fest [grin].

Some of you may be relieved to hear that I'm posting this from a computer which cannot link to an appropriate photo to illustrate the point. (Does anyone recall, around 1980, twin gals at the Fairgrounds, dressed mostly in paint ...?)
