Smart man can suddenly become stupid when trying to attract women. Researchers prove the man’s brain tends to be weakened after interacting with an attractive woman. The reason is that the brain becomes depleted by thoughts about sex.

Researchers from Radboud University in Nijmegen, the Netherlands conducted a health information study on men and women. Participants were asked to interact and communicate with each other, one of them about sex. A cognitive test of mental arithmetic has also been prepared by the researchers before and after the interaction among participants.

The result is, when a man that smart (both in the state of their own or in groups) to talk with women, their ability to perform cognitive tests will decrease. But when they talk with fellow man, his ability has not changed.

Unlike men, women just do not experience changes in cognitive abilities after interacting with the men.

From the results of these natural health studies, researchers assume that male brains tend to try hard to be able to attract attention and impress the opposite sex, so the ability of the brain that perform the function of cognitive functioning should be decreased.

Psychologist Scott Berry Kaufman explained that to get someone’s attention requires that the brain works is not easy.

“The brain needs to work hard as a careful cognitive control, monitoring of the reaction behind the listener and also modify the attitude, if needed,” said Scott, as quoted from Jezebel’s health care information.

According to Scott, it will spend and resource-consuming cognitive abilities in the brain and consequently reduce the ability of the brain after the interaction process occurs.

But health care researchers say that the brain is working hard, not only cause a smart man to be slow in thinking. They say that in an interaction, male sex is generally mixed thoughts in their brains to attract the opposite sex.

And that, according to researchers to be the biggest factor depleted brain performance and lower cognitive ability (intelligence), that is thinking about sex. Some experts even say that sex and pornography can lower intelligence.
