The more so because 1) my trial was being run by the lovely Miss Cikara (who looks like Minka Kelly) who had been my preceptor in a previous term, and 2) I was wearing gym shorts.Epiphenomenal Gremlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05822227517097611066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-88454478324153251352009-06-26T05:59:17.128-07:002009-06-26T05:59:17.128-07:00Also, while i haven't read the study.

If we see this effect in both sexes, even if to different degrees, followed by altered perceptions of the opposite sex after viewing such images, then we have a major effect worth writing about in the media. <BR/><BR/>If the women do not show the same effect, then we have an argument here.JLKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05396471022931966499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21605329.post-9773753021892813302009-02-20T10:04:00.000-08:002009-02-20T10:04:00.000-08:00In consolation, women are viewed as a _really_cove...In consolation, women are viewed as a _really_coveted_ tool.bluescrubbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17879439107189286160noreply@blogger.com
