Men perform worse at intelligence tests after they sit down for a talk with a beautiful woman. This only happens, however, when the woman in question means something for the man, that is, when he’s attracted to her, researchers have also established. Oppositely, women aren’t in any way influenced by sitting down for a talk or flirting with a handsome man, presumably because looks are not everything what they’re looking for in a potential mate.

“Chatting to a pretty woman is bad for a man’s brain – and the prettier she is, the worse it gets. Males who spend even a few minutes in the company of an attractive female perform less well in brain tests than those with someone they do not fancy. Researchers think it is because men use up so much of the brain trying to impress beautiful women. But women are not affected by chatting to a handsome man.

Researchers came up with the idea for the study when one of them suddenly found himself in a strange position, that of not being able to remember his own home address when asked for it by a beautiful woman. In order to establish the kind of impact an attractive lady’s presence had on a man’s intellect, the Dutch psychologists gathered 40 male volunteer students and sat them down with beautiful women. Then, they asked them to complete several intelligence tests – not to their surprise, men performed worse than how they did when not in contact with the women.

Dr. George Fieldman of the British Psychological Society explains this by men not being able to focus on something else. But a woman also looks for other signs such as wealth, youth and kindness. The look of a man alone would be unlikely to have the same effect.” Fieldman says for The Mirror.

Wierd study!
So if people perform well in the intelligence tests I give them, does that mean I look bad ???? :-)
Reverse theory does not apply..... :-(
Well... and people who do not perform well...are probably people who thought me gorgeous??? ;-) Naaaaaa not possible!
Nope - here it is...

Hi Deepti,
It's nice. But this is not everytime true. Many times man are showing their less intelligent in front of a Beuityful, Smart Woman. He gives herself full chance to became overconfident. Last but not the least Beatiful Women likes comparatively less intelligent Men.
Yes, its ture... it works.........
Bye....

I believe that records are meant to be broken and the thesis are too. Instead of doing this kind of weird studies better we concentrate on pondering some thing useful. I tell you the truth, a Man can enjoy talking to a handsome guy but don't tell me that the girls are not influenced by a handsome guy around.
Forgetting all these lets work. Every one has there own importance there is nothing like beauty which is just an outward apperance or Axe or Charlee. Its the essence of life which brings beauty.
My two cents.

Possibly it is true ..but till date I didn't feel like ... in my group females are there .. My subordinates try to chat with them but they fail because our policy is WORK ..
" WORK IS WORSHIP " .
In other groups there r that type of people but I am not sure whether it really leesens their intelligence or not ! 8-).

Chatting with a Gorgeous Woman Makes Men Less Intelligent - Study shows they instantly become ?reproductively focused? - Softpedia

This is meant only as a suggestion friend and no offense intended. Sharing of sources for such articles would only help in enhancing its value.
Anyway the news item is also reported on 04 Sept 2009 in CiteHR at:

gee, thanks Ash. The exact thing I was worried about as I was reading the article. :-) A couple of this kind of studies, men will be compelled to act stupid (especially) around their wives and girlfriends because of the negative connotations - no man wants to sleep on the couch (or live in the dog house). :-)

Interesting survey. And I hate to admit, but it is true!!! Even the smartest of men are generally stupid when it comes to women (world history, mighty kings and kingdoms, Tory, Iliad, Odyssey, Mahabharath, Ramayana – need I sight more examples?). Now we have independent scientific research to beat a dead horse :-)
