"This dude looks ready to bet the farm! Get this: a man becomes willing to gamble or invest more money when a woman touches him, says a recent study published in Psychological Science. (Damn, I knew these lady fingers of mine were powerful!) In the study, men increased their financial risk after a woman touched him comfortingly on the shoulder, as opposed to just speaking to him or when a man patted him on the back. The subjects increased risk after a woman shook their hands, too, but not as much as the light touch on the shoulder. The explanation? Mothers touch their babies a lot, creating a sense of attachment and security and helps infants venture out into the world and explore new things. Likewise, when women touch their guys, they feel secure and more likely to try risky behavior. That means our effect on babies is the same as on men. (Transitive property of addition: men = babies??) What we&amp;amp;#8217;ve learned: If your dude knows what he&amp;amp;#8217;s doing, take him to Vegas and give him a back rub. But if you are a risk-averse woman, hands off your man when he gets near a blackjack table or logs on to eTrade! Are you a big toucher? Does your man gamble? Invest? Go nuts like Granny at the slots?? More Ways to Get Glamour Visit ShopGlamour.com for cute stuff starting at just $10! Enter the latest Glamour sweepstakes! Follow us on Twitter!
