A Side Effect of Testosterone Poisoning 273
obtuse writes "With a finding that may explain Internet trolls — or at least building contractors — U. of Michigan researchers have discovered that individuals with high levels of testosterone find an angry face rewarding. In their experiments, this was true even if the angry image was perceived subliminally so that the subjects didn't register it consciously."

Guys should relax though - why? Because advancing technologies mean women will become obsolete and irrelevant in the next 20 years or so. Internet porn was just the first stage. Now we are seeing suits appear that allow you to have sex remotely. Visual, audio and amazingly - sensory perceptions are becoming more and more lifelike and cheaper and cheaper to make and buy. Virtual reality is progressing at such a rapid rate it's frightening. people are already seeking out their ideal sexual partners in virtual environments like 2nd Life.
The proliferation of teen girls who post themselves in sexual poses and situations to forums for boys to view shows that girls are already feeling the pressure to compete with these "virtual" ideals. Subconciously, they know what's coming.
Artificial wombs, cloning and other reproductive technologies are also developing rapidly. Gene splicing is already a mastered art. Designer children are on the way.
Androids are becoming more and more lifelike. A company is now selling sex "Real Dolls" that in all honesty can fool anyone into thinking they are real in photographs. They look and feel like a real woman.
These technologies are converging. in 20 years a steel worker in Detroit will be able to come home, and for a reasonable price be able to sit back in his easy chair, strap on some equipment and have sex with a supermodel. It will look and feel 100% real. In some ways it will be better than a real girl ever could be. No dinner, no movie, no paying 2 months salary for a ring, no bitching, no periods, no foreplay, no drama.
When all this happens, women are up shit creek. No man would ever put up with her crap if he can have a virtual/cloned/engineered/andriod girl who can be his perfect girl. If he wants a son, he can easily have one cloned/engineered without a woman involved. Real women will have to get a serious attitude adjustment or they will find themselves on the trash heap of history.
I know some will day that women could do the same thing, but market trends prove the opposite. Women want men, men want what women provide. There is a serious difference.
