Flirting with attractive women makes men feel good from Planck's Constant

I think I discovered why health care costs have been rising in this country over the past few decades: men have become sicker (and thus require more medical facilities) because we have made it almost impossible to flirt with women. What does flirting have to do with good health, you ask?

UK Telegraph, Meeting pretty women makes men feel good
Flirting with an attractive woman really does make men feel good, scientists find, as they discover it causes a surge in health-giving hormones.
Researchers found that just being in the presence of a pretty member of the opposite sex causes a temporary boost in levels of testosterone and cortisol – both hormones associated with alertness and well-being.

Sadly, we are training our young boys to avoid flirting or talking with, winking or looking directly at, or even being close to, little girls lest they be charged with the crime of aggravated sexual attack. Even hugging a female teacher may lead to being called a sex pervert.

Some of my readers may recall the 2006 case of a 4 year old boy who hugged a teacher's aide and "rubbed his face in her chest and was charged with "inappropriate physical behavior interpreted as sexual contact and/or sexual harassment", see Young Children cannot be sexual predators.

Under Illinois law grabbing a young woman's arm, even if to keep her from running into traffic automatically qualifies as a sex offense, see The Absurdity of Sex Offender Registries.

Children are being warned not to hug each other for fear it may lead to fornication. Prepubescent teens texting to each other can end up on sex offender registries. Has this country gone completely mad? Between misogynistic Muslim morons and our own homegrown pompous prudes I sometimes wonder which group will destroy this country first.

We need to let kids flirts, teenagers smooch and grope, and adults flirt with each other without getting prosecutors' prurient panties in a twist.

Meanwhile, I want you, my male readers, to stare at the above photo for a few minutes which I offer as a public service. I hope in this manner to help all of you become healthier so that you can continue to read my blog for many more years to come.
