Guys, The Charm Of Girls May Cost Your Life!

Presence Of Women

Presence of a pretty woman can lead men to throw caution to the wind. Pretty girls increase risky behavior in young men, says the recent studies.

The psychological experts conducted some experiments at a skate park, in order to find out the links between the physical risk-taking in young men and the presence of attractive women. It was found that the young male skateboarders took more risks in the presence of pretty female observers, rather than male spectators.

The saliva of these male participants contained higher testosterone level. It showed that risk taking was caused by elevated testosterone levels brought on by the presence of the attractive females.

Psychologists say that men tend to display the physical risks, as the testosterone level increases due to the presence of an attractive woman. This can contribute them early mortality through the activities like dangerous driving, physical aggression, etc.

The studies are done by Professor Bill von Hippel and doctoral student Richard Ronay, from the university''s School of Psychology.
