  1. "the more feminine a brain was, regardless of the body it inhabited, the more it liked red and pink." (Newcastle University study)

    "the Chinese women in her study, who grew up without commercial toys such as Barbie that promote pink to girls, showed an even greater liking for pinkish hues than their British female counterparts. So Hurlbert believes that women’s attraction towards pinkish colours is innate.

    The study might provide insight into why humans evolved colour vision in the first place, say the researchers. Although many mammals are thought to lack sophisticated colour perception, humans and several other primates, such as gorillas, possess advanced colour vision thanks to specialised receptors in the eye that can pick up on three different ranges of light waves.

    Some biologists have proposed that our primate ancestors developed this advanced form of colour vision because it made it easier to pick out reddish, ripe fruit against a background of green vegetation.

    Hurlbert believes her finding that women show a greater liking for redder hues supports this theory because females are thought to have done most of the fruit gathering." (New Scientist)

  2. Lol that’s crazy nanorocketManly funny pinky cool !!!

  3. Fruit of a different kind…

    ummm, just look at the sexual displays of bonobos, thats the pink I’d be attracted to.

    "Bonobos also show an extended sexual receptivity that is more like that of humans than of other primates. Females are most willing to engage in sex when they are maximally swollen – but increased receptivity has been achieved by extending the period of genital swelling"

  4. This is pretty much my worst nightmare :))

  5. We’re lucky to have goth girls to balance the universe.

  6. Un mundo rosa especial … buenisima toma Steve¡¡¡

  7. There are some people, called tetrachromats, who have four types of color receptors and see a much wider gamut than the rest of us. I don’t entirely understand the genetics involved but apparently all such people are women.

  8. …or birds: Focus on Sight with a mind-blowing color space, the most complex in nature. I always suspected they had something in common… 😉

    Une pièce toute en rose! A room all in pink!

  14. I just saw the video. That was both funny (in a good way) and fun!

    Do tell the young interviewer that she did a great job. Her questions and quiz were well-researched. Yes, I know she already knew you but still, she did this very well. And both girls presented themselves very well. They have infectious personalities which made you at ease.

  15. Cool !! I was expecting something crazier with the questions, but that was fun interview to watch =)
