Current Events > New research claims people especially women who lie a lot have more sex.

(+) Yeah! (+)

As it turns out, people may not be able to help being dishonest if they think it'll lead to sex.

A new study claims that not only will people say things they dont believe in order to impress potential partners, but that the human brain may be hardwired to do so. This includes everything from minor exaggerations to outright lies.

People will do and say just about anything in order to make a connection with an attractive stranger, the study claims. The findings were published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology.

People will do and say just about anything in order to make a connection with an attractive stranger, study author Gurit Birnbaum said in a statement published by the University of Rochester. When your sexual system is activated, you are motivated to present yourself in the best light possible. That means youll tell a stranger things that make you look better than you really are.

During the study, subjects were separated into two groups: one was exposed to sexual stimuli while the other was exposed to neutral stimuli.

In a first phase of the study, the groups were asked to argue with a member of the opposite sex. Participants who had been sexually primed were more likely to agree with a contrary opinion. Researchers theorized that it was an attempt to make a favorable impression in order to increase the odds of getting closer to that person.

In the second phase, the groups were asked to fill out a questionnaire about various preferences. They were then asked to interact with a member of the opposite sex and then fill out a new questionnaire that this person would then see.

Similarly, participants seemed more likely to alter their own opinions or provide answers that contradicted their earlier responses.

Birnbaum, an associate professor of psychology at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya in Israel, also worked with University of Rochester professor Harry Reis on the study.

Apparently lying is linked to our evolution and shit.

If the hottest girl (or guy if you're that way inclined) you ever saw came up to you and said "Man isn't How I Met Your Mother the greatest show ever made?" would you agree just because she is so hot?

Be honest.

I wouldn't. WTF?

It would be kinda hard to lie about your dick size and have sex.

What do you do? Make her wear a blindfold and then claim it's just your pinky finger until its too late?

Ladies don't know how to measure them but be like "I only consent if it is 6 inches or more"

What if the guy is only 5 but says he is 6?

He says he's 5 instead because 6 is afraid of 7.

I would assume that was the case. Even beyond just sexuality, people compromise themselves for things they want all the time.

Laughing at unfunny jokes is technically a lie.

No its not.

You can laugh at the judges bad joke while under oath on the stand and not be in trouble

As long as you dont say you thought the joke was funny

This seems like an inappropriate claim, given what was described.
