Why Do Girls Scream? Exploring the Science Behind Female Vocalizations

[Moonbear]

So have we all come to the conclusion that girls are of another species?

Only the screaming variety.

AND I have no wish to experience a guy like you!:tongue2:

AAAAAAHAHAHAH!

Why do girls scream?
because I'm on their hair.

AAAAAAHAHAHAH!

Mostly its because they're afraid they'll never get that goo out of their hair.

Why, you little!

Plagerist!
This is a blatant theft of a Tsupeg! That will cost you LOTS of chocolate! You notice I did not scream. You will also notice Ivan has not yet returned to this thread. :rofl: :rofl:

We scream because evolution programmed us to scream so the hottie rockstars would look at us first. Girls who screamed the loudest get noticed first and thus get to dance up on stage first. Perhaps there is research that positively correlates someone's tendency to be a groupie with how many decibels and long she can scream...

Hands Cosmina a welcome fish. Yep, you may have something there! And after they dance on stage, they get to go backstage and party with the band.

I guess you'd have to want to do that first.

In the above footage the left "leg" of penguin #1 clearly breaks the ice before his companion, penguin #2, slaps him on the back, raising the question of whether penguin #2 had good or bad intentions.

There's a simple test:
Try and breed with them; if there is any off-spring, then they belong to your own species.

This implies that all women are of a different species.

Vocal reaction meant to alert others to what they have noticed. Men do it too just differently

Somtimes they grunt. I think most often we spit out expletives.

I find it hard to believe you can communicate by spitting.

Hasn't the theory of therapy by catharsis been discarded? I could've sworn that several studies showed that releasing tension via catharsis results in positive feedback for the behavoir (for example, agression) which increases, rather than decreases its frequency.

I'll get back to your question. Whenever I feel like it

Really...?

Get a grip, trib. Note the punctuation. It was merely an exclamation. There were no CAPS to indicate my voice was being raised. Sheesh...

Ya know, some little puppies who get jobs listening to books (not actually having to READ them ) just think they have everything all figured out... :rofl:

Welcome, Cosima! How'd you like that welcome fish? That Evo - such a kind-hearted PF sister. She sure knows how to slap them fish around.

*pull up your support hose, Evo. They're bagging up around your ankle again.*

It was still definitely a scream.

She sure knows how to slap them fish around.

Wow. Wow. Just interchange "fish" with the vice president's name.

*pull up your support hose, Evo. They're bagging up around your ankle again.*

tribdog's fault.

Aren't there any... I dunno, biologists maybe... around here who might want to respond? :uhh:

Or grammarians...

 

[Mk]

If vegetarians eat vegetables... what do grammarians eat? Or humanitarians?? Or Summerians?

 

[Mk]

*pull up your support hose, Evo. They're bagging up around your ankle again.*

What are support hose anyway? I thought you meant panty hose, but after a look on Google they are stiff socks? I heard the term on tv today. Why do I know logorrhea, but not support hose?

Wow. Wow. Just interchange "fish" with the vice president's name.
tribdog's fault.

To slap someone with a richard in the face??

Maybe he meant a Cheney. Like a street fight with a chain... er something.. maybe not...
