Newsflash: Women want to get a little at certain times of the month.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Women dress to impress when they are at their most fertile, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday in a study they say shows that signs of human ovulation may not be as mysterious as some scientists believe.
A study of young college women showed they frequently wore more fashionable or flashier clothing and jewelery when they were ovulating, as assessed by a panel of men and women looking at their photographs.
"They tend to put on skirts instead of pants, show more skin and generally dress more fashionably," said Martie Haselton, a communication studies and psychology expert at the University of California Los Angeles who led the study.
Writing in the journal Hormones and Behavior, Haselton and colleagues said their findings disproved the conventional wisdom that women are unique among animals in concealing, even from themselves, when they are most fertile.
Some animals release powerful scents when ready to mate, while others display skin color changes, but human ovulation is notoriously difficult to detect. This is attested to by the frequency of unintended pregnancy, as well as test kits marketed to women wishing to become pregnant but unaware of the likeliest time to conceive.
Haselton's team said their study showed the cues are there, even if men and women are not consciously aware of them.
Women usually ovulate on the 15th day of their menstrual cycles, and this day is when they are the most fertile. Ovulation is easily detected using urine tests, and Haselton's team used such a test to check fertility in their study.
They asked 30 university students to come to their lab for a test, without letting them know the nature of the experiment. "We asked them some things about food, for example," Haselton said in a telephone interview.
The women came back several times over the course of a month and were photographed twice -- once in their fertile phase and another time in their least-fertile phase. The faces in the photographs were blacked out.
WHO LOOKS HOT?
The researchers asked 42 men and women, some older than the volunteers, to assess these photographs by asking, "In what photo is the person trying to look more attractive?"
The judges chose the photograph taken during the women's fertile phases 60 percent of the time, Haselton said. "This is well beyond chance. They were pretty consistent," she said.
"One of the things we found pretty interesting is that people sort of have their personal style, almost like their uniform," she added. "The women would show up to the lab wearing something pretty close to what they wore before, but embellished."
For example, one woman wore loose knit leggings and a tank top in both photos. "In her high fertility photograph, she would be wearing a very pretty tank top and she was wearing more jewelery. The difference was quite subtle," Haselton said.
The fertile women did not necessarily dress more provocatively, Haselton noted. "We did see a little bit more skin. It was my impression that the women were just dressing a little bit more fashionably but not sexier."
Haselton also was interested to note what did not happen.
"There's a popular notion that when women approach menstrual onset, they get out their bloated clothes and they pull out their sweats," she said. "But we didn't find that to be the case."
Haselton's team had earlier reported that women were more likely to flirt and look at attractive men when ovulating.
Even if science proves it to be true, never ever put a womans behaviour down to a time of the month.You are just asking for all hell to break loose..;)
Apparently women during ovulation do all sorts of odd things...like become attracted to more 'masculine' looking men that they normally might not even give a second look at other types of the month. Apparently, these women's male partners are able to sense this mental straying, and become more aggressive at this time of the month towards masculine-looking men. Don't ask me to site a source, I saw it on some odd 'amazing facts' show...

There was also a study to show men have a subtle equivalent to PMS that happens every month. In reality, it's probably just us being pissed off because our girlfriends are PMSing out on us during that time.

What other weird things have I heard....oh, some sexologist in the US did a study on the acidity of sperm...bear with me here...so say a man has been away from his wife/girlfriend/whatever for a while...she runs off and boinks some other guy (or not)...when the first guy gets home and has sex with her, his sperm is more acidic, and actually has the POWER to kill off competing sperm. Also, female orgasms are supposed to help with conception, since if the cervix dips into the sperm (during orgasm), there is more of a chance that it will make it to her ripe, ready eggs. Unfortunately, the study showed that women were more likely to reach the big O with their man-on-the-side...
So look at you men! At the whim of hormones too! More testosterone during certain times of the month (keyed in with the woman's cycle, not out of the realm of possibility, considering how women 'sync up' their cycles when living together)...acidic sperm...orgasm-inducing-to-cause-pregnancy...

My ex-husband was a lot more aware of my cycle than I ever was. He said he could tell because the week before my period I was extra horny. Now we know why.

Ditto. There are also a few days where sex is about as appealing as washing the toilet. Knowing which days are which make for much smoother months.

Is this a new idea for most people, or just scientific "proof" of something everyone already knew?

I'm not sure...it has something to do with golf....:rolleyes:

Our body says all the time is the right time. I sleep naked, my fiancee sleeps naked, my body tells me -that- is the right time, regardless of what time of the month it is. =P

some one should make a divice to exploit it using somthing as trival as a siliva sample; buy her a drink and when she's not looking wipe the edge of the glass on a peice of paper, then say you need to go to the bathroom put the paper in the divice, wait 30 seconds and it will tell ya a persentage of getting laid.of coarse it would be a waste of money i'g go with anything above 5 or 6 percent lol

exactly pricks wouldn't be it towards women, then they wouldn't get laid.
but even so some women go for pricks, period. (usually end up with wife-beaters or some such)

the thing alot of men don't realise is that we have hormone cycles too, it's just that ours cycle on a daily/weekly basis, rather than monthly, so I guess we get more practice controlling it, that is, if you choose to control it. Other wise you are just moody (shall we say) all the time...
In my biological psychology class back in undergrad, we learned that women are also more likely to sleep with a man that is not their partner while they're ovulating. They just have this weird urge to go out and mess around. That is the point of hidden ovulations...so that when they turn up pregnant, their main man won't know the baby isn't his.
The underlying concept is that men who are genetically fit are spreading their seed around, benefiting the human race with their superior genetic material. They maximize their reproductive success by making sure they create as many children as possible, and trust to chance that enough will survive to carry on the line. The men who aren't so genetically fit (read: the ones who are not as attractive) maximize their own reproductive success by making sure the child(ren) they DO father survive to adulthood, meaning sticking around with the mom and being a good provider.
So, how's a girl to choose? Well, find a good, stable man (with perhaps a not-so-great genetic makeup) and build a nice little nest with him. Then, sleep with a man who is really great-looking and pass it off as the other guy's child. Nobody is the wiser, not even the skanky girl, because of (mostly) hidden ovulations.
