Study: Men Enjoy Seeing Bad People Suffer

mimo2005 · 01-19-2006, 07:09 AM

A new brain-scanning study suggests that when guys see a cheater get a mild electric shock, they don't feel his pain much at all. In fact, they rather enjoy it.
In contrast, women's brains showed they do empathize with the cheater's pain and don't get a kick out it.

I agree. I love to see bad people suffer.

They had to conduct a study to figure that out?

I could have told you that. I agree though, evil people suffering is enjoyable.

Does that men women sympathize with cheaters more because they can more easily identify with them?

Sorry, out of line and unnecessary, but I had to say it... anyway, when the last time I said anything that wasn't unnecessary? my introduction?

in a harvard study (one year ago) they discovered that womens brain work slightly different or may react differently than men's brain .

women wouldn't make good mothers if they felt vindictively towards their kids when they acted up. I think that has something to do with it.

Hence the whole "wait until your father gets home" thing I heard growing up.

I will admit, although part of me feels bad for seeing a cheater shocked, the bigger part of me says if you do the crime, you need to do the time. Then again, I have no remorse for people who cheat.
