Beautiful Women Cause Heart Attacks

Beautiful women cause heart attacks?

Not quite, but researchers have found that being near beautiful women (for men) increases levels of a hormone that is linked to heart disease.

Generally, this hormone is useful to humans.

Cortisol can have a positive effect in small doses, improving alertness and well-being. However, chronically elevated cortisol levels can worsen medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and impotency.

So basically this means that when men are near beautiful women they are being biologically primed to fight other males for her attention and to mate with her.

This study also found that if women are perceived to be “out of their league” then “the effects [of the hormone] are heightened”.

So what does this mean for men who have a feeling of inadequacy and think they are ugly or that most women are beyond their reach? Are they at heightened risk of all the diseases mentioned above?

I think that may be far-fetched, but perhaps it’s worth looking into; we all know that people with self-esteem problems can have bad health. Maybe they could fix this by simply hanging around uglier people!

And women, if your partner can’t get it up, don’t worry, it just means you are too beautiful for his body to be able to deal with it; impotence is a compliment!

But seriously, overloading your body with stress is bad and can lead to all kinds of problems (as above) so it’s great that researchers are looking into why and how this happens. Anything that can be done to reduce the levels of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and impotency is great.

    Of course because beautiful women are either taken, married, or have other men admiring them. But with handsome men it is less likely because they don’t have much women snapping them up. Also, ladies, you ought to be careful with your beauty and how you interact with other men because it can give him a heart attack. In other words, disloyal women can give men heart attacks and men’s bodies cannot handle female infidelity. Most men can easily collapse at the sight of their wife or girlfriend with another man or so.

    Plus, beautiful women are more likely to be promiscuous as well so go for average to ugly women instead. You’ll live longer than usual. Beautiful women kill.
