They show people pictures of faces and they have to guess the gender.. and turns out women are actually faster and more accurate at spotting male faces...
redharbor9 said:I don't get it... faster than what? 😕
When I say they spot men faster, I'm talking about the actual gap in reaction time when identifying male vs. female faces..
The fact is, the phenomenon is real, but nobody has come up with a legit explanation for it yet..

Yeah, I have no clue. I've never even heard of that phenomenon.🤷
Nobody really knows him. Unless you've actually run into him, he’s basically a ghost. 😍 I opened this thread because I’m fresh out of half-baked theories. Maybe someone here has an idea that can actually get me on the right track.

The title says it all. Throw out whatever ideas or theories you've got. 😍

To me, it all feels quite logical; I suppose they instinctively recognize potential partners to carry on the species. Meanwhile, for those of us, like Alex Patel96, whose "mechanism" doesn't seem to "function" quite the same way, I think we might actually spot girls more quickly—I could probably say that pretty confidently myself, since I've tested that theory in various ways over the years—perhaps because we find them more attractive, or maybe just because we feel a bit more similar to them.

And I don't see what more offspring being born has to do with anything.

...maybe that's the answer... or maybe it isn't...🙂
