But before you go for that sugar rush, let's take a look at what your selection means. [Photo above via Flickr]

For a woman's password, offer chocolate; for a man's, try porn

Nicholas Carlson · 04/17/08 05:00PM

45 percent of women will give away passwords to strangers pretending to be market researchers when offered a chocolate bar in exchange, according to Infosecurity Europe's survey of 576 office workers. Men fell prey to the scheme 10 percent of the time. Surprised? Don't be. That's addiction. Chocolate contains anandamide and for women in particular, its a psychoactive and addictive food. Academics report that 40 percent of women crave chocolate more than any other food. 53 percent like it better than sex. Meanwhile, only 15 percent of men have a similar hankering. But that should lead to an obvious conclusion for anyone trying to snag their passwords: ComScore reports that more than 70 perent of men from 18 to 34 visit a porn site each month.
