It's the male grooming product women have been waiting for. Scientists claim they have created a spray that makes blokes much more affectionate. The scent uses the hormone oxytocin, known as the "cuddle chemical" as it stimulates sensitive feelings. It is best known for its role in female reproduction and helps mums bond with their children.
The researchers in Bonn, Germany, worked with Cambridge's Babraham Institute and their results are published today in the Journal of Neuroscience. They gave 24 healthy men nasal sprays containing oxytocin while 24 others got a placebo.
Later the guinea pigs were shown "emotionally loaded" photographs including one of a crying child. Dr Rene Hurlemann in Bonn said: "The oxytocin group showed significantly higher emotional empathy levels." He said they reached the "levels of sensitivity usually found in females".
The Babraham's Dr Keith Kendrick said the drug may help in the treatment of schizophrenia which is often linked to an inability to connect with others. ------------------------ Friendlies could drop some of this on the enemy to soften them up huh?
It's almost as good as the ultimate gun from Hitch Hikers Guide. ( the one that makes whoever you shoot feel like you do. )
I don't know about War, but the ongoing conflict with the sexes...... possibilities.
Most men could use better understanding of feelings...
But really the only thing Men need women to understand is when you ask what we're thinking, if the answer is "nothing" we really mean it. No hidden agenda, no deeper meaning. When women use that word, it has deep and profound meaning, and we have no clue.....
Gee, Charlotte, You get a sympathy moment from me on that. Really. Hugs, Babe. The cuddles are the icing on the cake.
change cultures, change your rules. Most American women think I am kurt, rude, stoic, unfeeling. Ukrainian women think I am strong, smart, unnerved, wise.

And finally.....
A recent scientific study found that women find different male faces attractive depending on where they are in their menstrual cycle. For example, when a woman is ovulating she will prefer a man with rugged, masculine features. However when she is menstruating, she prefers a man doused in gasoline and set on fire, with scissors stuck in his eye and a baseball bat shoved up his backside.
TLC had a interesting bit on the web dating thing.
10 guys, same picture, but they changed the data. With no information guy scores a 4 on the 'hot' scale by random sampling..... I new shirt and a shave and a description of him as an entrepreneur of a software company making $375K a year and bingo, suddenly he is 9 & 10 attractive.....
For all the bashing that men are shallow; you gotta know women are too; just skewed to different variables.
