Beware: A Disgusting Scam Women Are Using On Their Boyfriends

Joshua Pundit: There's a new, mega-hot item selling on Craigslist these days - positive pregnancy tests.The going rate is between $20 and $40 each, The Daily Dot reports.

One New Jersey mom writes: 'Wanna get your boyfriend to finally pop the question? Play a trick on mom, dad or one of your friends?
The sellers are numerous, and most of them seem to be aware that their positive tests are being used for immoral and duplicitous purposes.

'I'm pregnant and will sell you my positive pregnancy test for $20,' reads one ad from a woman on Manhattan's Lower East Side writes. 'I don't care what you need them for.'

Aside from tricking a man into marriage or into staying in one he's in the process of getting out of, the tests are being used in another popular scam. If a woman's been sleeping with a man - or men - and needs some quick, easy cash,she merely buys a used, positive test, confronts her bedmate(s) with the 'evidence' of her pregnancy and says she wants an abortion, but she needs $500 to pay for it. A lot of men will be glad not to have to go through the nightmare that family court and child support laws have become in America and will happily fork over the cash.

There's an easy way to not be victimized by this deception. If your girlfriend confronts you with one of these home pregnancy tests, be sweet and agreeable. And then say 'you know, honey, I actually was reading the other day about how error-prone these home pregnancy tests are. This is a big deal, so let's go to a doctor and get it confirmed so we know for sure.' Offer to pay for it.

If you meet with resistance to the idea, remain calm and pleasant but insist on seeing a doctor 'to be sure'. If she won't go, you pretty much know what's going on.

Who are Smarter -- Men or Women?

People like to think that men’s brains and women’s brains are fundamentally the same. But research indicates that men and women do in fact have different structures and wiring in the brain, and men and women may also use their brains differently.

Men do score better at tasks that involve orienting objects in space, while women do better at language tests.

Scientists have known for a while now that men and women have slightly different brains, but for many years they thought the changes were limited to the hypothalamus -- the part of your brain that controls sex drive and food intake.

In 2001, researchers found that certain parts of the brain were differently sized in males and females. The study found that parts of the frontal lobe, responsible for problem-solving and decision-making, and the limbic cortex, responsible for regulating emotions, were larger in women. In men, the parietal cortex, which is involved in space perception, and the amygdala, which regulates sexual and social behavior, were larger.

Men also have approximately 6.5 times more gray matter in the brain than women, and women have about 10 times more white matter than men do. This difference may account for differences in how men and women think -- gray matter is full of active neurons, while white matter consists more of connections between the neurons.

A woman's brain is a bit more complicated in setup, but those connections may allow a woman's brain to work faster than a man's.

However, average IQ scores are the same for both men and women.

Why Men Don't Live as Long as Women

Some believe that men are more likely than women to engage in risky behavior. While these photos are by no means proof, they certainly bear out the idea.
