According to a new study done at the Dutch University of Radboud, men’s brains stop working after they talk to an attractive female colleague in the workplace. The study involved an experiment where students underwent tests where they were interrupted halfway through a conversation by someone of the same or opposite sex. The results showed that men’s performance declined if they were talking to a woman, and their performance declined even more if they thought the woman was attractive. The study showed that when men were interrupted by a beautiful woman, they were too busy thinking about what they were saying, what they looked like and how they were perceived, as a result brain functions ceased, even after the conversation was done. The study found that men who did do a lot to impress women did get attention from them. These results do not mean that employers should separate men and women in the workplace. There are benefits to this, it creates a pleasant work environment for employees.
