"Men can unconsciously smell when a woman is ovulating."

According to a study published in Psychological Science, men are able to detect the scent of a fertile woman, even if they're unaware of what it is they're detecting. Researchers asked two groups of men to smell t-shirts. Some had been worn by women at various points in their menstrual cycles; others were unworn control-group shirts. Men who smelled the shirts of ovulating women experienced an increase in testosterone levels. Furthermore, they rated the shirts worn by ovulating women as the most pleasant-smelling.

Hmmmm

Smells like raincoat weather to me!

"Strawberries can protect you against alcohol damage."


Consistent alcohol use predisposes us to various health issues, including ulcers and various cancers (between %2 and %4 of cancers are attributed to alcohol). However, new research has indicated that strawberries can help mitigate this damage. European researchers fed rats 0.0014 ounces of a strawberry extract per 0.00003 ounce of body weight, then fed them an alcohol diet designed specifically to damage their stomach tissue, and found that those rats' stomachs were protected compared to those in a control group. Strawberries may even be effective protection against various other kinds of stomach-tissue damage (from viruses, for instance).

"A woman's history of orgasm is observable in her walk."


A study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine asked female subjects to take a questionnaire on sexual behavior. The participants were then filmed walking in public spaces. Two professors of sexology, unaware of the women's questionnaire answers, were able to guess with 80% accuracy whether a woman experienced vaginal orgasm just by examining her walk. Researchers theorized that either a woman's physiological characteristics influence both her stride and her sexual behavior, or a vaginally orgasmic woman is also more likely to feel confident and liberated in general.

"One third of women are uninterested in cuddling."


One in three women dislike bedtime cuddling, according to a study conducted by Silentnight, a U.K. bed manufacturer. Most women's lack of interest merely stems from being tired but some actually find the act uncomfortable (about one in five). Nearly a tenth of women said they'd rather check Facebook than cuddle. Coincidentally, about one in three men admitted to actually wanting more cuddling.

""Beer goggles" are partially due to impaired perception of symmetry."


Facial symmetry is among the features that we're least able to notice once we've been drinking, according to a study in the journal Alcohol. Researchers sought out and tested drunken bar patrons, giving them a breathalyzer test and asking them to examine 20 pairs of photos for facial symmetry and attractiveness. Sober patrons were more attracted to symmetry and were more accurate in judging which faces were symmetrical. Drunken patrons ceased to rate symmetry as attractive, as they'd lost the ability to detect it. Women were more prone to this loss of perception than men.

"Tanning beds can be addictive."


UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers studied participants as they used two different kinds of tanning beds -- an ordinary one, and one designed to filter out UV radiation. As they started tanning, participants felt a sense of reward similar to what a drug or alcohol addict might feel, and demonstrated similar brain activity. Though none of the participants knew if they were receiving a real or fake tan, the effect was much less pronounced in the latter case.

"Women find conscientious men to be better dancers."


A German study gave male participants personality questionnaires, recorded them dancing and transferred their movements onto computer-generated avatars before asking a panel of women to judge their dancing talents. Men who ranked highly in conscientiousness and agreeability were regarded as better dancers than their peers. The researchers, from the University of Goettingen, also stressed that attempts to emulate dance movements that clash with your true personality are unlikely to work.
