British men use spicy food to impress
A study commissioned by Domino's Pizza has found that
millions of British men eat spicy food just to impress
their friends and dates. Richard Wiseman, a senior
psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire, said
using painful food to impress and attract females could
be a result of genetic behaviors, ABC News reported Monday.
"I suspect that this type of behavior has its roots in
our evolutionary past. Males who exhibited the greatest
ability to withstand pain stood a better chance of
attracting more females," Wiseman said. "Such behavior
becomes advantageous" However, Wiseman said he doubted
the effectiveness of the practice in modern society.
"In today's society, Wiseman continued, "such displays
have become rather futile, and so it is rather sad that
men are still competing in this way. It is not clear what
type of women would find such behavior attractive, and
whether they would be worth competing for."
Very interesting subject. If you meant what I think you did by your topic title, that too is ... well ... funny. Wonder if any community leaders could respond to this?
BTW: way off topic. I think your profile is one of the most creative I've seen around here. Congrats.

Hey, when I see steam coming out of a guy's ears and he is sweating like a pig and gulping water and moaning that he feels like he is having a heart attack all because he ate something way too spicy, yep, that sure turns me on.
Hmm it proves that the average british man is easily led and deeply insecure.
Hey Bob, thanks for the complement. I was hoping our cl would see it, but alas, he must be too pooped to rise to the challenge. heheheheh. If I didn't tease him, he wouldn't know i hated him. Hahahahah.
But but but, spicy food is soooo goooooood!
Wonder if our inimmitable CL misses his curry?
Erin, who is clearly a chest-beating caveman in disguise.
Chest beating cave man? well that explains that cough that I saw her erm, I mean him.
Sounds like some people need more to do. I enjoy spicy food because it tastes good, because I tend to choose food that not only is hot, but ahs flavor. I'm really truly not trying to impress anybody.
Mmm mm mmm pizza anyOne..??
