More citations are always good for fostering empirical argument.<br /><br />To back up Virginia's point, I think the fact that estrus affects both men and women subconsciously is worth making, given the main starting point that human estrus is hidden.<br /><br />I thought it was equally important that women on the pill lost that nuance in their own behavior (probably) and in men's reactions (definitely).Gruntledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864860607925412103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-81080944142946055892013-01-25T20:00:05.426-05:002013-01-25T20:00:05.426-05:00Here's the link to the original study and two ...Here's the link to the original study and two other related articles.<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow">http://www.unm.edu/~gfmiller/cycle_effects_on_tips.pdf</a><br /><br /><a rel="nofollow">http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2007/10/05-02.html?etoc</a><br /><br /><a rel="nofollow">http://www.shockmd.com/2007/10/08/lap-dancers-provide-evidence-for-human-estrus/</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-89295721298596090522009-03-07T10:57:00.000-05:002009-03-07T10:57:00.000-05:00Hi,I find your post from Micheal Kruse.I would lik...Hi,<BR/>I find your post from Micheal Kruse.<BR/>I would like to ask the same questions I asked him about the study.<BR/><BR/>Do you know the source of the original study?<BR/>It would be interesting to find out who funded the study. Was it "disinterested" politicians and another "pork barrel" spending project? Was it an "evil" pharmaceutical industry looking for a treatment for sexual dysfunction in women or men?<BR/><BR/>It is interesting that women on hormonal contraceptives and anovulatory as a result did not have any peaks and troughs in their tips. Does this have implications for couples and their levels of sexual interest. Do you which group the anovulatory were nearer in terms of their tips?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-84655636408591175592009-03-06T19:19:00.000-05:002009-03-06T19:19:00.000-05:00Well, not to get too personal, but I can tell when...Well, not to get too personal, but I can tell when my wife is ovulating, not because I smell anything (not that I know of), but because she acts much more flirtatious than usual. But "men give tips to more flirtatious women" wouldn't be very surprising.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-70248858551411931132009-03-06T08:24:00.000-05:002009-03-06T08:24:00.000-05:00JD, I think that's the point.

This study shows that women's estrus isn't as hidden as we imagine, even if we only recognize it subconsciously.<BR/><BR/>There was a study that I think was discussed in Gruntled's class about college women and how they dressed during different times in their cycles. Across the board, from the most slumpy and tomboyish to the most dressy and put-together, women tended to dress up more (with more accessories, makeup, clothes that fit more tightly, etc) when they were ovulating. But I don't think it was even a conscious decision - "Oh, I'm fertile, I should wear bigger earrings today." It was a subconscious external reflection of what was happening inside.virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17213082509257647264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-83665457884099289392009-03-05T20:58:00.000-05:002009-03-05T20:58:00.000-05:00And how do we know that the women themselves weren...And how do we know that the women themselves weren't acting differently?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
