Don't jump off a bridge to impress women Yahoo! News - Don't jump off a bridge to impress women: "A survey of 100 men and women by researchers at the University of Maine in Orono, showed that women are not impressed by bungee jumping and other risky types of behaviour but actually prefer men who take fewer chances.

'Men thought women would be impressed by pointless gambles, but women in fact preferred cautious men,' New Scientist magazine said on Wednesday.

One theory to explain risky male behaviour is that men are showing off their strength and bravery to woo potential partners.

But researcher William Farthing said women prefer high-status males to risk-takers."  ¶ 10:10 PM
