The study, published in the Journal of Experimentaland Social Psychology, has found that attractive women actually impair the malebrain.

Programmed by evolution to try to pass on their genes,psychologists at Radboud University in The Netherlands said males try so hard toimpress the object of their desire that they have little brain power left forother tasks.
Women, on the other hand, were not affected by chattingto handsome men, probably because they focus on more than looks, the researcherssaid.
The findings have implications for the performance of men whoflirt with women in the workplace, or even exam results in mixed-sex schools.
