The Study That Never Ends

Nothing new

I swear I don’t look for these stories, they find me. Once again “researchers” have cracked the golden egg of information, except in reality, they didn’t. Their research is the equivalent of me writing a book in 2010 explaining that the earth revolved around the sun, not the other way.

Given a choice, men prefer “hooking up” to dating, while women prefer dating with the prospect of a relationship to causal sex, U.S. researchers said.

“Researcher” is basically a word used in 1st world countries to describe how bored we are as a society. Is this whole what men/women want STILL being discussed? What is the deal? Who is doubting this and asking for further research?

Scientist #1: Sir, it’s confirmed. Everytime I throw this ball in the air, it comes straight back down.
Scientitst #2: Hmmmm. I don’t know if I can buy that. Keep running the tests for another 1,000 years and let’s see what the results are.

The study, published in the journal Sex Roles, found women seemed to want a relationship more than men, but women fear, whether dating or in hooking up, they will become emotionally attached to a partner not interested in them. The study also found men seemed to value independence and they feared that even in hooking up, a woman might want to have a relationship.

Gasp! No way! Shocking. Can we move on now to more important research like figuring out if obese people will die of heart related illnesses sooner than healthy people?
