"The men who scored higher on questionnaire-based ratings of emotional warmth and sociability had more grey matter in two brain areas - the orbitofrontal cortex and ventral striatum."

They forgot the bit of brain between his legs :)

The brain scan study was carried out on 41 healthy male volunteers, SO, lets extrapolate to the whole human race!!!

what IS sociable... ? that to me becomes more and more a question.
If sociable means to behave and not talk the own truth, so that we are accepted ,
I'd rather not be a people person :)

Thanks Mimi and as Stan B said there are times when I feel that our fourlegged friends are more true and honest with us.

Maybe so, but ALL MEN still only have enough blood to run one head at a time.
