There have been studies, one reported in the New Scientist just a couple months ago, about the effect that attractive women have on men. Not just real women, even pictures of women. Men who had been looking at actual or photographed pretty women showed marked decreases in risk avoidance and increased willingness to sacrifice long term gain for immediate rewards. The same was not true of women looking at women or either sex looking at men. In other words, a pretty face makes most men stupid. This is not news. But it's useful to see well-researched confirmation and to find that even a bunch of pixels can elicit the response. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethical Hacking at the InfoSec Institute.
