"Please Don't Cry, Baby!": A Tale of Prescience

Go back 25 or 30 years and listen in on a Biology class: “Studies have shown that women that live together tend to have synchronous periods. This confirms the production of a pheromone by menstruating women. Why should you be surprised? We are, after all, members of the Animal Kingdom and have evolved the same basic physiology. Watch the news in the future for more discoveries showing all kinds of pheromone activity in humans.”
A study released January 6th , 2011(1) indicates the presence of a previously unknown pheromone in women’s tears that when sniffed by men reduce the circulating testosterone levels, thus reducing sexual desire and aggression. Why are you surprised? We are, after all, members of the Animal Kingdom. But wait!! Men have known for ages that the mere sight of a woman crying had an immediate effect of kicking in a nurturing posture. “Please don’t cry, baby. I love you so.” followed by an embrace.
Another researcher in Denmark has associated the mysterious pheromone or another in tears that is associated in the increase of Oxytocin release in men, which leads to nurturing behavior.
So now we know: Tears are a stealth weapon to co-op the physiology of men, reduce their aggression and make them more likely to be nurturing. And my prediction from the past continues to be correct. The next time someone says “God, I hate it when she cries. All I can do is give in to whatever she wants.”just smile and say "Yeah, me too!" It remains to be seen if the tears of real emotion and those of “on demand” nature are similar in pheromone content. And, men’s tears have yet to be studied. I predict that they will have the same effect. Keep watching the news. (BTW, I also predicted the collapse of the environment due to overpopulation and pollution. Hmmmmm.)
