Research Shows That Men Check Out Other Men's Tackle

When usability experts Jakob Nielsen and Tara Pernice Coyne conducted research in 2005 to help online editors lay out their articles better, they learned that when presented with an image of a male baseball player, men looked at both the man's face and his bulge whilst women only looked at his face.

Coyne adds that this difference doesn’t just occur with images of people. Men tend to fixate more on areas of private anatomy on animals as well, as evidenced when users were directed to browse the American Kennel Club site.

Another possible explanation in this case is that men may be looking at the strike zone, while women are lusting after the athletes chiseled faces. Women are such pigs.

Strike zone? HA! Then how do you explain this? "Men tend to fixate more on areas of private anatomy on animals as well, as evidenced when users were directed to browse the American Kennel Club site." Men are such dogs.
