3 things you didn't know about men #1

1. They like to play with their vocal organ

You thought pretty hearts liked to have words? You were wrong! A study conducted by psychologists at Britain's University of Stirling and published in the journal Evolution and Human Behaviour has just shown that to seduce a woman, men used their vocal organ by modulating it. Faced with a pretty woman, they would make their voice deeper in order to show their virility and then continue the conversation in higher tones in order to put their target at ease. Varying the tone in this way would allow them to send two seemingly contradictory messages:“I am strong (therefore a warrior)” but “I will make a good companion and a good father”…

2. They would be bigger talkers than women!

According to a study published by the Daily Mail, men would be able to keep a secret for 2 hours 47 minutes before going to tell a third party. The women, they could last… 3h30.

3. They lose (a lot) of their sex appeal after 39

Leonardo Di Caprio, who celebrated his 39th birthday, has cause for concern… According to a survey carried out in Great Britain, men of his age are becoming downright “invisible” in the eyes of young women. The explanation? They lose their status as sex-symbol to take that of… father figure! Among the factors that lower the price of these gentlemen, 54% of respondents cited the fact of no longer attracting attention in a bar. And 37%, gray hair... So Leo, a Régécolor?
