Many years ago, long, long , long before I was married; I often woke up in strange places with some pretty
strangeugly women. There really is no easier way of putting it! Although, for the more emotionally sensitive readers “I’m sure the women thought I was just as ugly”. But anyway.. I always remember making the excuse that I have to drop a mate of for a job interview, or something just as lame. I would then proceed to find my way home, all suited and booted, creased clothes, stinking of booze and riding public transportation. My head would be pounding, my wallet empty, and cringe worthy flashbacks of me attempting get this
gorgeousugly women back to her place for a game of chess
Wait for it, here it comes….any minute now riiiinnng rriiingg (that would be my super sized cell phone ringing). Duuuuuuude!! hahahaha.. Duuuude… Then for about 5 minutes I would then be the laughing stock of my friends, each one taking it in turns taking joy in telling me every bit of detail leading up to me taking her back to her place. The only defense I would have is I was drunk, I had my beer goggles on, she looked great at the time, it had to be the goggles.
Well, if this new report by a British Newspaper is anything to go by, we are all screwed! It is basically saying that ‘Beer Goggles’ are a thing of the imagination. It is saying that I loved it, every minute of it! It has to be true. It was printed in a British Newspaper….By a Doctor….At a University! So I will hold my hands high; I admit it
I love having sex with ugly women!
Phew.. I am so glad I grew out of that habit!!! Anyway, see what you think. Read on…
Is beauty really in the eye of the beer holder? Alcohol has no effect on men’s judgement, say researchers
The phenomenon is known as beer goggles – the fact that men tend to find women more fascinating after a few pints of bitter or lager. For generations, young males have been explaining to friends that their odd choice of female company was down to alcohol. According to the latest research, however, they have only themselves to blame.
Beer goggles are a fallacy and women actually seem no prettier after drinking, a study suggests. ‘There was no great difference – the men were just as undiscerning as ever,’ said Vincent Egan, the lead researcher. Dr Egan, of Leicester University, trawled bars, cafes and airport lounges to recruit 240 volunteers for his study. Half of the men and women had been drinking, with levels of inebriation ranging from ‘relaxed and benign’ to ‘unambiguously drunk’. All of them were shown photos of women and asked to comment on their attractiveness and age. While the women rated the faces in the pictures as more attractive after drinking, alcohol had no effect on the men’s judgement. Dr Egan said: ‘This seemingly flies in the face of the commonly held notion of ‘beer goggles’.’
It is unclear why the women thought the faces were prettier after drinking. But it may simply be they were more honest about their opinions than the men. Drinking did not affect either sex’s ability to judge age, leading to the researchers saying that the influence of alcohol should not be a mitigating factor in the case of a man accused of under-age sex. Writing in the British Journal of Psychology, they said: ‘Our study suggests that even heavy alcohol consumption does not interfere with age-perception tasks in men, so it is not an excuse for apparent mistaken age in cases of unlawful sex with a minor.’ The Leicester study, it should be pointed out, reached far different conclusions from previous research.
A Bristol University study found that people do appear more attractive to both sexes after a drink – and it takes as little as a pint and a half of beer. In some cases, the mere anticipation of alcohol can be enough to alter judgment, the research suggested. And a U.S. study even found that just looking at alcohol-related words made men rate the female form more highly.
