Male fruit flies really don't take rejection well

Male fruit flies whose sexual advances are repeatedly rejected get frustrated and less able to handle stress, study found. The researchers say these rejected flies were also less resilient to starvation and exposure to a toxic herbicide.

Can they also suffer with broken heart syndrome? The true love is real: it's just called a rut, heat or oestrus in animals.

This fascinating study provides intriguing insights into the impact of social interactions on the emotional resilience of fruit flies. It's remarkable to see how rejection can trigger such a negative spiral, adversely affecting their ability to withstand various stressors. The study's findings highlight the profound consequences of social experiences, even in the lives of small creatures. It's a reminder that our social connections and interactions play a significant role in our overall well-being.

New study confirms the impact of sexual double standards in memory recall

A recent study found individuals are more likely to remember negative information about sexually active women than men.

These findings replicate and extend previous research on the sexual double standard, a societal bias that evaluates men and women differently for similar sexual behaviors.
