Beauty and the Cortisol Beast

If you want to grow muscle and, ironically, stave off impotence, stay away from beautiful women.

"See if, after sex, he can make half the cock-shadow puppets I can! Can he make a monkey climbing down a tree while holding two coconuts? I don't think so!"

LMAO

Hahaha TC, you have discovered what women mean when they tell you to "Be yourself."

What they really mean is "Don't be that pathetic nervous drooling slob. If you just act the same as you do normally, you'll be fine. Not fucking up is half the battle."

Great read, great laugh and few insights. That's our TC!

ok,i haven't read the article because of that blonde chick with purse.who is she?

once again, very well done

Where can I read that study at? I didn't see a reference or anything at the bottom.

The reality TC Is bet with you're Humor and blond locks you have women tossing their size 2 panties at you all of the time.

^ yes yes.
TC is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
the meat it feeds on; that cuckold lives in bliss





yarg!

"I supposed the only way to combat this nervousness and the associated high cortisol is to, whenever in the presence of a beautiful woman, remind yourself of your inestimable talents and your self-worth. Most women can sense confidence and they're attracted to it. You have to admit, it sure beats splattering her suede pumps with urine from your nervous bladder."

its interesting that TC has yet again touched on such a vast subject as the sciences of attraction but still misses his mark.

as we've discussed before, women want a man with status and men want a woman with looks. money and power are just two of many things that give men high status.
if TC walked in there, the bartender high fived him for walking in the place, a couple of patrons that looked well to do said hello and were interested in his comments, and one of the cute female servers said hello, the "hot chick" in the oil slick dress would wonder who he is. she would be automatically attracted to him because he showed social demand and preselection by other women.
cut to TC walking up to this woman with a smile plastered on and saying something that ISNT hitting on her like, "you know, i just GOTTA get over this anorexia thing (he sits down).. whats your excuse?" she might laugh or at least show middling interest, the convo would be open and he could then proceed.
meeting that special girl and pulling her has a lot to do with having the status women crave. social demand, social ability, social intelligence, power, money, leader of men, associations with like-able people even.. there are many things that will help HER perceive YOUR status as high or higher.
reminding yourself of who you are and your accomplishments just wont cut it.
KNOWING who you are and what you demand out of life, including a beautiful woman, is part of walking the walk and not just talking the talk.

Men are so pathetic as a whole these days. Is it the significant drop in testosterone in the past 50 years among men? Is it the lack of knowledge on how to be a man? Maybe both I suppose. Why would a man over the age of thirty be intimidated by any woman. Have respect for women by all means..but be intimidated? I used to be intimidated in my younger years and then quickly learned not to be by asking myself a couple simple questions.

Why am I intimidated? Am I afraid she will beat me senseless if she doesn't like me? Is she emotionally stronger than me and thus able to make me feel worthless if she desires? ...The answer is obviously no. There is nothing to be afraid of. Fear comes from with in yourself. You control that. You control how you feel about yourself.

That being said..stop being such a bitch..man up..talk to her if you want, I find generally most of these hot looking women{Not all} have the personality of a bag of rocks. Is that something to be intimidated by?

Fact of the matter, all political correctness bull shit aside, is women are the weaker sex.{I'm not implying by saying this that women have less to give to society as a whole, there just simply more fragile physically and emotionally,there equally intelligent and have many fine qualities greater than the average man in other areas.} Stop being scared and be a man.

Oh, come on. Is it really news that things that excite men get them excited, which makes them produce cortisol?

TC, your taste in women--at least as described in this column--is rather monotonous. Do you ever get the hots for, say, a quirky-looking brainy brunette with small boobs? I've heard that they can be beautiful, too.

Actually, now that I think of it, quirky-looking brainy brunette with small boobs is a pretty good description of Cleopatra. So maybe you were onto something there.

The 1st day I taught a class at a university (teacher's assistant = instant pussy supply, btw. You have no idea. Just always give out your home phone, that's all I will say) I was very, very nervous. After a few days I was completely calm.

So maybe (as noted above in comments) all that is required to combat this is repeated exposure? Would regular visits to a strip club count/help?

Pics of Ms. Oil-Slick or it didn't happen.
