The Perfect Man

Posted by on November 10 at 14:03 PM

BBC news has an interesting article about men and testosterone (two of my favorite subjects—right behind vaginas and pie).

A recent US questionnaire/saliva swab of 126 single men, married men, and fathers has shown that having kids significantly reduces the amount of testosterone in the male body.

Researchers at the Charles Drew University in LA refer to this as a process of “civilization” designed to keep men from either smashing babies’ skulls in anger or ‘going out for cigarettes’ (I’m paraphrasing).

The data cannot be denied. Ladies, if you want yourself a civilized man, find a married one with kids.
