15 Things God Won't Ask

Read this and then reflect on it. It's not the material things that matter...

God won't ask what kind of car you drove, but will ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.


God won't ask the square footage of your house, but will ask how many people you welcomed into your home.


God won't ask about the fancy clothes you had in your closet, but will ask how many of those clothes helped the needy.


God won't ask about your social status, but will ask what kind of class you displayed.


God won't ask how many material possessions you had, but will ask if they dictated your life.

Study reveals men turn dumber around women

Psychology researchers in the Netherlands have published a study showing men were “cognitively impaired" simply by the thought of being near a female.

Are you struck dumb when women are near?

Turns out you are not the only one. 

And we have a study to prove it, people.  

Dutch researchers found that men perform worse on cognitive tasks just by thinking they are being observed by a woman.

The study tested both men and women, asking them to perform a so called "Stroop test" for cognitive function (think flash cards in various colors and inks) under varying circumstances, Gizmodo reports:

In two separate studies, the subjects performed the Stroop test twice: once while they believed they were alone, and a second time after being told someone of the opposite sex was watching them via webcam. In both cases the women's performance during the second test was unchanged, but for the men, the mere thought of being watched by a woman caused their performance to plummet.

 Naturally, the researchers suspect, it all comes down to mating. And social status. 

And, of course, to our long evolutionary history as a species:

Men's inability to do well at cognitive tasks under these circumstances could be the result of them being more naturally attuned to potential mating opportunities. Modern social pressures could be in play, too, with men crumbling under the expectation to impress the ladies in the room.

There you have it.
