A new study from the University of New Mexico found that, on average, strippers make the most money in tips during the most “fertile” days of their monthly cycles, Psychology Today reports.

-snip-

For their research, psychologist Geoffrey Miller and colleagues visited local gentlemen's clubs and counted tips made on lap dances.

Dancers made about $70 an hour during their peak period of fertility, versus about $35 while menstruating and $50 in between. Researchers attributed the fluctuation in tips to the changes in body odor, waist-to-hip ratio, and facial features that occur throughout a woman's cycle.

Dammit - knew I shoulda been a psychologist.

WOW! What a gig for a researcher!

I betting this guy got caught at a strip club by his wife and came up with the explanation that he was doing ‘research’. Naturally, he had to follow through.

$35 while menstruating and $50 in between.

Unless your customer is Marilyn Manson, Ozzy Osbourne or a vampire, in which case you still might make that entire $70 in an hour.

PS: Don't read too much into that. It's just a joke, not supposed to be sick or anything. :)

Yes I'm sure men see a stripper on stage and they think "hey I want her to do a lap dance for me oh no wait I don't like her uh uh face."

Glad we straightened that out.

Any observations regarding the "Rhythm Method"?

It's subconscious.

Women go through some changes during that part of the cycle. They look hotter because they are more interested in sex. And give off more pheromones that the guys pick up.

Did any of my tax dollars go to fund this research?

“”A new study from the University of New Mexico””

Where intellect and science have been abandoned.

Bs, pure BS, It has everything to do with how much Bourbon that an individual has drunk! Been there done that! They all get better looking at closing time!

Naturally, PMS was thoroughly overlooked as an indicator...

What the hell are YOU looking at!

[G Larry]

Hey!
How come the professor didn’t approve my proposal for that research?

[RDTF]

LOL!

[G Larry]

Hey!
I’ve already done the homework!
How do I get my transcripts updated?

wtf.

[CedarDave]

Didn’t UNM do one a few years ago that tried to determine what facial features make a woman look beautiful?
