new study: men think of sexy women in clad bikinis as objects..

[librito]

ACCORDING TO THE STUDY, it also says that men who think that women love to control men are the worst of the sexists.

Past studies have also shown that when men view images of highly sexualized women, and then interact with a woman in a separate setting, they are more likely to have sexual words on their minds, she said. They are also more likely to remember the woman's physical appearance, and sit closer to her -- for instance, at a job interview.

Wow. WIERD!!!! Who could have possibly predicted that one? Im sure females, have NEVER figured that out, and have NEVER used that to their advantage.

Taken together, the research suggests that viewing certain images is not appropriate in the workplace, Fiske said.

"I'm not advocating censorship, but I do think people need to know what settings should discourage the display and possession of these kinds of things," she said.

Translation: I'm too unattractive to use this to my advantage, so I think noone else should either.
Both women and men have something to learn from this line of research, Raison said. Women should be aware of how they are perceived when wearing provocative clothing, (Im sure they have NOOOOOO idea how they are perceived. THey just dress sexy for the fvck of it, im sure. Then they complain about how ugly guys stare at them.)and men shouldn't let feelings of impersonal sexual longing interfere with their more personal relationships with other women, including female friends. Or maybe the cok teasing hors shouldnt use their sexuality to try and manipulate us. How bout that one Einstein?"Many men make foolish choices because of sexual attraction," he said. No Really? I've never done that. How bout you guys?

They need to do a study about why retards like that make such redundant studies. How many thousands of dollars were spent to figure out that men lust after girls in bikinis? How can I get paid to do that crap?

Oh, I forgot about this part;

Another avenue to explore would be showing images of men's wives and girlfriends in bikinis, Raison said. He predicts the objectifying effect would not happen in this context

That is pure comedy. This guy is as queer as a three dollar bill. I for one NEVER objectify taken girls.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

The thing that stands out the most is that they've applied the term "objectifying" in an instance where it doesn't apply. Yes, men's brains switch into a problem solving, tool using mode when presented with an opportunity to breed with a hot woman, or at least a perceived opportunity. That's an operative reaction to stimulus, but this is not the same as "objectifying" that the source of that stimulus. Men can solve problems deductively, and use objects to do so, but the brain synapses firing that prompt the behavior aren't going to differentiate between objects.

These properly feminized researchers are making a hell of a leap, while using a buzz word that will inspire indignation in women. "Objectifying" a hot piece of ass makes her less than human, that's the intent of using the term, but if my car is broken that stimulus prompts behavior to remedy it - I'm not objectifying the car. I naturally want to breed with Jessica Alba, and my neuro-pathways may indicate a response consistent with trying to figure out how to achieve that, but "objectifying" poor Jessica is a cognitive response. These test clearly indicate a non-cognitive process.

How ? Waste six to ten years on a psych PhD from the U of West Transylvania.Then weasel your way into tenure at some western U...
However, you will still be a lightweight until you are published, so design a study which states the obvious, Couch all you writings in faddish PC jargon for which the profession is noted.
BE sure to design your study to enforce the belief in the victimization of women and the abusive nature of men.
Publish your data and portray yourself as one smart reseacher who has revealed new meat on the old carcass.

Wait for call from Oprah's staff...

If you want quite an eye opening experience, google "hostile sexism".

I'm not going to launch into a tirade about this, but let me just say that this is yet another example of a word that

a) Automatically casts women in the "victim" role

b) "Is only applicable to men" and has no equal but opposite word that applies to the other gender

Ever heard anyone call a woman a sexist? I didn't think so. It's basically another word to shame men for calling a spade a spade. Is there anything more sexist than THAT?

Both women and men have something to learn from this line of research, Raison said. Women should be aware of how they are perceived when wearing provocative clothing, and men shouldn't let feelings of impersonal sexual longing interfere with their more personal relationships with other women, including female friends. "Many men make foolish choices because of sexual attraction," he said.

"foolish choices? Hahaha. Yea, I'm pretty worried about how my "sexual longing" will interfere with my more personal relationships with my female friends! LOL Fukk.....if anything I'm more "sexist" (according to these BS definitions) around them than anyone else and they love me for it!

"The suggestion might be that there's some hard-wiring there that can interfere with the average man's ability to interact on deeper levels with really hot looking stranger women in bikinis," he said.

"Hard wiring" does not "interfere" with anything....it facilitates the perpetuation of life....where do they get these people? Vilifying natural behavior that is in place to make men want to hump hot women? WTF???

Women may also depersonalize men in certain situations, but published research on the subject has not been done, experts say. Evolutionary psychology would theorize that men view women as objects in terms of their youth and apparent fertility, while women might view men as instrumental in terms of their status and resources, Fiske said.

Isn't it interesting how all of these studies neglect to look at things from a male perspective?

Yep, these "studies" are just more junk aimed at the lefties, the feminists, and their male symps.
Funnily enough, the male researcherss probably had their only chance to get close to some really hot women.

How ? Waste six to ten years on a psych PhD from the U of West Transylvania.Then

No, no, no. You're so wrong. Several male researchers get bored day in, day out of the routine of examining the testes of African mosquitos or mapping the memory sequences of rats, and one of the guys says, "Hey, fellas, I have an idea! Let's sell the University on researching how men react to women in bikinis, tell 'em it's a psychological study to understand the unconscious mating responses" he snickers. "Then we can get almost naked college girls in here all day long, day after day, and just have 'em on display for as long as we want to look at 'em... uhhh... I mean, observe them!" says the other PhD. "Genius!!!" they all cry out. "Man, I haven't seen a girl without a white jacket on since... like... ever" says one other. They all comfort their brother with a hug as he breaks down sobbing in delight.

Truly amazing how some guys can create a whole career( and generate research grants) out of fad and junk science and have a nice time along the road.....priceless, Mr Me.

quote from study.."""while women might view men as instrumental in terms of their status and resources, Fiske said.""""

doesnt this imply that women "might" be materialistic and they also use their god given instruments to seduce men with money and status?
whenever I see a hot woman with a high status male I just call their relationship a business asociation where she gets his money and he gets her hot pvssy. legal prostitution is the right word for that......
it doesnt take a guy with a phd in psychology to figure out that men love hot women and women love men with status....

"The suggestion might be that there's some hard-wiring there that can interfere with the average man's ability to interact on deeper levels with really hot looking stranger women in bikinis," he said.

LOL that's pretty true. If I'm at work trying to work on what ever IT project I'm working on and there is a hot girl in a bikini next to me there is probably a zero percent chance I'd get anything done.

Previous research found that people tend to similarly dehumanize those who are homeless or drug addicts, although the phenomenon in this case is somewhat different, Fiske said. People have reactions of avoidance toward the homeless and drug addicts, and the opposite for scantily clad women.

Heh, I'd wonder how the brain would react to a hot homeless girl wearing raggedy clothes that cover very little who's asking for money.

I dated a hot homeless chick once. The date didn't work out, so I just dropped her off anywhere.

The good thing is he has ideas for some more follow-up studies!
