Sometimes, when we're making our rounds in West Chelsea or the Meatpacking, we stop and wonder if there's some scientific explanation for why all the women we see are so perfect and all the men are dicks. We know their failings have a great deal to do with their breeding, but we've often surmised that there has to be something else to it - something in the water perhaps, or some genetic mutation that takes place when one is born in New Jersey. Researchers in Australia seem to have found an answer.

"Infected men have lower IQs, achieve a lower level of education and have shorter attention spans. They are also more likely to break rules and take risks, be more independent, more anti-social, suspicious, jealous and morose, and are deemed less attractive to women."

We knew it. We just fucking knew it.
