Tongue-tied? You're not alone

Guys, if you've ever tripped over your words when talking with a pretty woman, you're not alone. New research out of Radboud University in the Netherlands has found that the harder guys try to make a good impression on a gal, the sloppier they get. On the flip side, women weren't seriously rattled by chatting with guys.

Guys estimate, women count

According to Norman Brown, a psychologist at the University of Alberta, U.S. men report an average of 18 partners whereas women only claim five. The discrepancy, however, may be because guys use rough estimates when counting sexual partners, but women are more likely to rely on enumeration.
