Estrogen increases impulsive decision making

Quoting:

"Subjects showed a greater bias toward the immediate choice during the menstrual phase of the cycle, when estrogen levels were low."

"It’s possible that paying more attention to long-term consequences when reproduction is most likely to happen holds an evolutionary advantage. But this cyclic effect may also be a mere coincidence. “Evolution is not an optimizer,” says Boettiger, “and if nature figures out a system that works well enough, that’s what we adjust to. There may not be an evolutionary purpose to biological function, even though it’s tempting to speculate that there is.”

So they are saying women actually make BETTER (less impulsive) decisions when ovulating.

This runs 180 degrees the opposite direction of the idea that she was horny and stupid... she really, really wanted the "bad boy" and she had her most rational decision making capability at the time she made the decision !!!

It's when she is impulsive during the rest of the month that she will give in to duty sex to the beta because "oh, what the heck" nothing else to do.

The title is WRONG.

Should read:

"Estrogen decreases impulsive decision making"

When I signed up for POF some time ago I took the dating "personality" test out of curiosity and (tbh) bordem.

I was ranked as "highly impulsive" but nothing about me screams "high estrogen". lol wat
