Why do girls scream so much

So why do they? It seems like girls will scream over the smallest disturbance and will even scream when they are overjoyed for some reason. What is with these people. Is it genetic? WHY!!!!!

I know why they scream when I'm around, but that doesn't apply to everyone.

Seriously, I think that it's the sonic equivalent of skunk spray. It's hard to attack someone when your ears are bleeding.

Is this a Beatlemania-type reaction or a Freddy Kruger-type reaction?

It's an evolutionary thing. >_>

Pengwuino, have you ever tried to look at yourself in a mirror before?

I remember studying about this in anthropology- about the phenomenon of girls screaming at concerts, anyway. Supposedly, they are not screaming to draw the attention of the guys on stage, but are subconsciously signalling to the group as a whole that they are sexually mature females.

Depending on their age they scream because:
A. It's time for all of them to run into the other room and talk about how icky boys are or...
2. They want more attention from boys than they are currently getting.

I was thinking something along those lines. It has been said that the oft aggressive, loud, overtly sexual behaviour of groups of alpha-male types (you know the kinds: they start shouting "Oi, darlin, darlin! 'Ow abaht it? You and me! You and me!". If they are cockneys) is to compensate for the homosexual overtones of close male bonding. We shout to demonstrate that we are sexually immature males, despite the fact I just grabbed that guy's crotch.

So...

Ow abaht it, then?

It's because we're ignored.

Stop denying you do it, and think about it.

It's hard to understand, especially since you specifically said, "Close your eyes, girls, I'm coming in!" before walking into the girl's shower room. Not even a mention of the word 'scream' in your instructions.

Screaming will get our attention.

They're training for marriage.
