Dangerous isn’t desirable?
So I was reading the blurbs on recent studies in New Scientist and one that bugged me was one about whether women were attracted to dangerous stunts boys do to get attention. I think I recall a study from like 2 years ago reported in Discover explaining that they were or why.
Anyway, this one claimed that women aren’t but that men are attracted to that behavior. Then I read that they found this out through a survey. I think there’s a big difference in reaction between reading about an act in a survey and actually seeing it. I’ll bet that the results would be quite a bit different if the people were observed while observing these “dangerous acts.”
