My mind is clearer now.

That's Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber to you.

The headline, I don't get it.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's music makes me violently annoyed.
Simply hearing one of his songs makes me want to tear apart people's bodies with my bare hands.

So, if I don't get this headline... I'm not gay?

If my wife is any indication, I'd have to say this is completely true.

In any given situation, my wife's first reaction is to panic. Mine is to rationally determine the best course of action to solve whatever problem arises...

I've always thought that was just normal. Can't believe they had to do a study to figure that out.

Someone want to explain the headline?

Women like Andrew Lloyd Webber and men don't, is that it?

All I can think of when I see the BBC logo next to the word, "Danger" is...

In other news, water is wet.

When I hear Andrew Lloyd Webber, I tend to wildly run away, pushing women and children out of the way.

Webber's Phantom "adaptation" sucks.

Men think, women feel. I knew this before reading and still after.

Listen, Rann Xerox, I don't like what I see.

BBC reports that women are more emotional and men are more logical.

how is this news?

That would make a great "This" image. I might have to steal it.

/Also needs the headline explained.

Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita are great examples of Rock Opera.

However, Cats and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat make me want to pull out my hair and scream out while run for the hills.

/Rocks quietly in the corner repeating "Jellicle Ball... Jellicle Ball... Jellicle Ball..."

Listen, Rann Xerox, I don't like what I see.

Too much heaven on their minds, wylkyn.

The_Original_Roxtar I don't think that's quite what they're saying.

Women are more emotional and probably will not react immediately. Men will respond faster physically but not necessarily in a logical manner.

/before fight or flight, do you freeze or do you jump?

I'm calm and rational during a crisis. Luckily, I never have much opportunity to show this skill off. Dissociation does have its uses.

To clear the headline up -

In Phantom of the Opera , Christine is repeatedly kidnapped by the Phantom. It gets to the point where he lets her go under the provision that she return when he asks. She had many opportunities to rescue herself; in fact, in one scene, she prevents her boyfriend, Raoul, from killing the Phantom. During all this, she has a look of utmost pity on her face. Basically, she was reacting emotionally to this creepy, deranged and deformed pedophile (the actress, at least, was 16 at the time of filming) rather than looking out for her own safety.

For reference, take a look at this Youtube clip (new window). She is fairly certain that the Phantom will appear and attempt to kidnap her, but at no time does she alert the audience or other cast members that the Phantom is present.

Or perhaps I'm over-analyzing subby's headline. It's a Monday after a long holiday weekend (with a nice 800 mile drive) and the caffeine hasn't kicked in yet.

There is nothing here I disagree with.

Mom always taught us to curl up in a ball and remain motionless when confronted. That's what I did in high school when I almost got into a fight.

"That is what I said, but that is not what I meant"

Well, this sort of explains why men like visual porn and women like written porn. Visualization vs. Context is wired in.

"Men showed activity in areas which dealt with what action they should take to avoid or confront danger. But the study, presented to the Radiological Society of North America, found more activity in the emotional centres of women's brains. "


They needed fMRI to notice this?

#11 is my nemesis. I get that question all the time. Like I farking know. And then when I pick a pair the response is always "really, you like those". And inevitably, she wears the exact opposite of what I choose.

So then we are decided.

Butterfinger: Phantom of the Opera was the "High School Musical" of the 80s.

Just crap.

It had one good song and Sarah Brightman is hot.
What the Angel of Music might look like.

cryinoutloud: I'm calm and rational during a crisis. Luckily, I never have much opportunity to show this skill off. Dissociation does have its uses.

Same here. Unfortunately, living on a dangerous stretch of road, I usually can show that off a few times a year. It helps the victims, too - they're not as worked up when everyone is calm and not panicking along with them.

Respond with either: (verbatim)

a: Those shoes make me want to put my penis inside of you.

b: Those shoes make your ass look fat.


I can virtually guarantee you will not have to answer that question ever again.

ginko: The_Original_Roxtar I don't think that's quite what they're saying.

Women are more emotional and probably will not react immediately. Men will respond faster physically but not necessarily in a logical manner.

/before fight or flight, do you freeze or do you jump?

This. Men are more likely to flee immediately as well, since their fight-or-flight response is triggered more quickly. They'll either jump right in or recoil.

The brain scans don't suggest that women would react illogically to danger. In fact, one interesting outcome of this MIGHT be that women react more logically because they have more time to think before the adrenaline rush. (I don't know if that would actually be the case, but it would make for an interesting study.)

(I don't know if that would actually be the case, but it would make for an interesting study.)

This presupposes that taking the time to think won't result in death.

Depends entirely on the danger, I suspect. I'd also wager that in some situations of social danger a detachment from the emotions of the situation could be a benefit.

She can be hot or scary just like any other woman.

I think all of the Andrew Lloyd Webber haters are jealous that he got to shag this goddess.

Wow, why are so many people not getting the headline? It is simple and funny to me. (Not the subby, btw.) It is mostly a play on the word "shows", which in this case can be read as either a verb or a noun because of the way the headline was phrased and punctuated.

Verb: The brain scan shows us the difference.
Noun: We are going to NY to see the Broadway shows, the off-Broadway shows, and the brain scan shows.

Pretty cleverly done, actually. The rest of the headline is a jab at ALW, whose music is almost universally and simultaneously detested by men and adored by women.

I got it with no problems, subbs. +1
