Discovery Channel: Sperm Travels Faster Toward Attractive Females


Apparently females are outwardly choosy (the sexual gate-keepers) while males are the more covert, sneaky ones... I always suspected it!

So what if the study was conducted using some sort of junglefowl (chicken-like bird) - are human males that much more advanced when it comes to mating games? I demand the proof - and trust me, I can provide a very, very long list of names to back up my side of the argument!

Here's the link to the story from the Discovery Channel...

That was a kind of cool study. Not sure if I buy into knowing how attractive a female chicken is or that it translates into human attractiveness. I demand human studies.
