    since men associate everything to sex, perhaps seeing a woman glistening reminds us of how a woman looks after a good shagging - a little sweaty and glowing....:o :o:D

    I find myself attracted to the package as a whole. How about you?

    Yeah, the package is good enough for me :p
    Why not be mediocre and be the best at it that you can be?

    I still think it is the light reflecting off the brain and not being able to gather thoughts properly and they lose their mind temporarily.

    Even if she is a sexy librarian...there is something going on there.

    But I have never seen one of the librarians that are all hot and sexy and I spend alot of time in the library. Maybe we should change it to bookworm. :)

    You all are trying to say you are not attracted to shiny.

    I actually studied this phenomenon in anthropology. At least one theory calls it the hunter's stare. Long, long ago, when men really hunted for a living, they would spend hours sitting and staring in the African plane waiting for animals. Shiny things are part of it, because they attract attention against the background of the savanna. Also, tracking movements is part of it as well. The stare, if I am remembering correctly, produces a change in brain waves in males. In other words, it is pleasurable. That is why they are able to sit for hours waiting for prey. This brain state is supposedly the reason why men will watch TV to relax. It produces the same brain state from staring. It is also supposedly the reason why men like to watch pornography.

    On the anecdotal side, I watched this develop in my son. I will never forget the first time I took him on a carousel at two. He became transfixed by the mechanism that made the horse go up and down. He was frozen in place staring at the gears.

    I've noticed pretty much all babies do that staring thing. TV stresses out women? I never knew.

    You seem to say that jokingly but I know that's the reason behind it for some men. :p

    Is it also a trend thing? And don't give me 'men don't care about trends...' maybe men are just as brainwashed about what beauty is?

    I sound like that woman form Sex And The City. hahaahah
