“In a study of 300 heterosexual men and women, half the participants were primed for cheating by imagining a flirtatious conversation with someone they found attractive. The other half just imagined a routine encounter.

Afterward, the study subjects were asked to complete fill-in-the-blank puzzles like LO_AL and THR__T.

…No pattern emerged among the study participants who imagined a routine encounter. But there were differences among men and women who had entertained the flirtatious fantasy.

In that group, the men were more likely to complete the puzzles with the neutral words LOCAL and THROAT. But the women who had imagined flirting were far more likely to choose LOYAL and THREAT”

It’s nice when other people make our jokes for us.

Women be to focused on womanly arts and baby animals to care about fair representation, am I right?

After much pondering, which mostly involved fishing for a culprit for this clear injustice, I submit the following hypothesis: From a young age, expectations for the behavior of boys vs. girls differ drastically. These expectations stem from the distinct ways boys and girls spend their time. More often than not, boys find outlets in sports, action figurines, toy cars, and rough-housing while girls play with dolls, experiment with mom’s makeup, role-play (who else played a lot of school?), and do arts and crafts. Yes, I know there are exceptions. But let’s be honest. Most girls are playing dress up or arranging stuffed animals while boys are farting in each others’ faces and practicing WWF wrestling moves.

Why? Because if boys and girls played together, the boys would end up ridiculing or hurting the girls until they cry.

Why? Because girls’ feelings are as fragile as mom’s nicest set of china. Most women remain sensitive their entire lives while men have the enviable ability to brush things off/laugh at themselves/not hold grudges. Which leads me back to the world of comedy: if you can’t take it, you can’t dish it out…

The rest of us girls rarely have this ability unless born with a little extra testosterone (i.e. Ellen and Rosie). Consequently, we find ourselves vulnerable and the butt of many punch lines in movies, stand up and television.

 Women be fragile little unfunny flowers! Am I right?

THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES IS OVER!

The entire set of her talk show today was edible — and made of chocolate. Chocolate seats, chocolate tables, a chocolate chess set, a chocolate grandfather clock, chocolate wall coverings, chocolate flowers in a chocolate vase … on and on. The set, created by Larry Abel, even includes a chocolate fireplace. (Warning: Do not light a real fire in there.)

Part promotion, part wow factor, the set was created with nearly 7,000 Godiva chocolate bars and 2,400 Godiva truffles. There’s a chandelier made from 1,500 pieces of chocolate.

Women just can’t stop thinking about chocolate! Am I right?

Am I right?
