Wearing Your Egg On Your Sleeve

A UCLA study has recently shown that there is a noticeable changes in how women dress during their menstrual cycle. The researchers claim that, in general, women show more skin and dress more fashionably when they’re most fertile. How this is a surprise to anyone is beyond me, because it makes perfect sense: if it’s the best time of the month to fuck, then you’re going to wear things that maximize your chance of fucking. Apparently, however, this defies popular wisdom amongst sexless academics. From the above ABC News article:

People have long thought that women hid all signs of ovulation, even from themselves and their mates. Haselton’s study shows that many signs do exist, though they’re subtle.

Of course, ovulation doesn’t simply alter a woman’s view of herself and potential sex partners– it also changes her perception of potential rivals:

Women’s interactions with each other can change too.

“There is preliminary evidence that women rate other women as less attractive during ovulation. One possibility is that they feel better about themselves. Maybe they feel better so they dress better,” Haselton said.

    This is something man has known for ages. Hence the reason why UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES happen.
