According to this study, women’s judgement is impaired when they are most fertile. This clouding of judgement literally makes them incapable of seeing the potentially disastrous results of a relationship with a ‘bad boy,’ leaving only the positive aspects – being adventurous, exciting, etc.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, but people don’t tend to make the most rational decisions about relationships. Not that it should be 100% cold logic, but don’t we all know of some people who got into or out of a relationship based on their emotions in the moment, which later proved to be wildly inaccurate? Perhaps people should learn to make decisions beforehand, when we are not having irrational moments, and stick to them in the heat of high emotion. The catharsis of doing what we really want may not be worth the aftermath.
If the research is accurate, it will prove especially important for women to learn this skill.

hahahah if women really had control of their hormones they wouldn’t get married at all!
I’ve made terrible relationship choices in the past regardless of the state of my fertility. I always thought I was just being naive.
