Message

Interesting 'research' & perhaps Divine Wisdom behind 'Lower thy gaze' ? :

The research shows men who spend even a few minutes in the company of an 
  attractive woman perform less well in tests designed to measure brain 
  function than those who chat to someone they do not find attractive.

Researchers who carried out the study, published in the Journal of 
  Experimental and Social Psychology, think the reason may be that men use up 
  so much of their brain function or 'cognitive resources' trying to impress 
  beautiful women, they have little left for other tasks.

The findings have implications for the performance of men who flirt with women 
  in the workplace, or even exam results in mixed-sex schools.

Women, however, were not affected by chatting to a handsome man.

Maybe thats why most of the top-students in co-ed schools are girls? Because the poor guys can't even focus...

	Allah's Apostle once said to a group of women:".........a cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you.'

Another quote I came across a few days ago: "There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women." - Muhammad Ali Jinnah Edited by Chrysalis - 04 August 2011 at 6:53am

	Many years ago,I read of a study done in the Antartic.They put a group of men in one compound,and a group of women in another..much,much too far to reach each other.,not to mention the harsh conditions in this part of the world. The men started fighting with each other,and some went insane. The women...got along great and did perfectly fine.Sorry,the study was so long ago,I don't have a link to it.Interesting though.
