Ovulating strippers make more money!
An evolutionary psychologist at the University of
New Mexico and his research conducted a study that showed an interesting, but
very obscure fact. Strippers earned more tips by lap dancing when they were
ovulating than when they were not, and also more than women on the pill, who
don't ovulate.
The research assistant first noticed this because
he worked at a strip club assisting the performers. One of his duties was
handing out tampons. He noticed women who requested them earned less than the
others. This was the basis for their study.
They set up an anonymous website where they
gathered data for 296 work shifts, or about 5,300 lap dances. The women would
include info about their earnings, productivity and menstrual cycles.
The results? Women ovulating would earn in
average $30/ hour than women in their periods and $15/hour more than women at
other stage in their cycle. Women on the pill, who don't ovulate, made
significantly less than women in their natural cycle.
The theory is that women ovulating are at their
peak of fertility and that makes them more attractive to males. What they
haven't found yet is how men can subconsciously recognize that a women is in
estrus (their fertility peak).
