The next shocker of the day: The USA Today did a study that 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the population.
Honestly, I don't know what psychologists are smoking when they come up with these weird crappy surveys. I mean, they're either "Well duh, dude!" or "WTF?" when it coems right down to it.
Really, I think the whole thing can be explained much more simply. This is very stereotypical and not entirely true, but it works very well in the animal kingdom. Males in every species have the ability to mate often, and so males are typically concerned with finding many mates. Females have to bear their offspring for a period of time before they can mate again, and so females are more concerned with selecting the best mate. It's a simple concept, but in the situation when two females are going after the same male AND the general rule of thumb on the population is that once mated you can't mate with anyone else (thus throwing the male's concern out the window), it is up for the women to compete.
And besides, in high school, fights between two girls were often more vicious than those between two guys, and they tend to play a much more emphatic game of emotion in the game of love. So, surprised? Absolutely not.

Well, I think it's quite a good article. I mean, what else could the time and money for that research have gone into? A cure for cancer? Psscht.

I fail to see how putting down other women is even remotely effective in attracting men.

^ Hero's bloody innocent; he's not quite sure what that love thing is. Eikre (the other guy) was the one I was really pointing out though

I hear the girls in school hollering all the time in the hallway. Some pretty nasty stuff. I can't even type it.

So basically, the point of this research is to tell us that women are cranky during their period. Wow. That's a new one. I'll bet those guys will be able to base their entire career on this revolutionary new concept. Hell, maybe they'll even retire early to their huge mansions in the Bahamas and their supermodel wives.
