Mate or Foe?

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. Many of us have read this classic which talks about how different the male gender is from the female. Another piece of research conducted by the University of Vienna has thrown light on another area in which John is different from Jane. The research says that a man, who shares his bed with his partner, will end up with his brain getting dull and this in turn will affect his ability to think clearly. Whereas the woman tends to get rejuvenated.

Riya V Anandwala quizzes some macho men from our industry and gets them to talk about what they have to say about the mind blowing (pun intended) study.

Who did this study??? I don't understand how people get time to research on such topics. First of all I hardly get to sleep, and secondly how does it affect a man's brain? If that is the case, whom should we sleep with - some one else's partner? I have a question for the person who did this study - what did you gain by doing it???

Who is this A******??? This guy should be shot at where it hurts the most. It is extremely preposterous to conduct a study of this sort. I guess these people have nothing better to do, and are trying to justify it. Is it like they are blaming women for this???

When I sleep with my wife, I perform better in every aspect! (laughs) It's just about being with the right person, and when it comes to my better half, I sleep well! I have no sleeping disorders. And coming to these scientists who do such studies, everyone needs a job after all!

I don't feel dull after four years of marriage! It is the wierdest study I have ever heard of. In the Indian context this can be very damaging for the man. Imagine a wife asking her husband why he wants to sleep separate and he responds by saying that a scientest said that sleeping with a woman is bad for the brain. You know what he will get - One tight slap! It is extremely bizarre to hear of such studies and research. Though I am not saying that they are wrong, I don't subscribe to them.
