If you don't, as most people don't, it could be a little annoying. On the other hand, it's a reminder that maybe you could do something. We shouldn't just assume that there's nothing we can do. We should look for some way to make it more like that and not just go along with how things are.

Yeah. What we did is we went to a part of Vancouver that has a very large bridge way over a river that wobbles. And so when you walk over it, it's a little scary. You could easily fall off. And so we had an attractive woman, young woman standing on the bridge. And when men of appropriate age by himself would walk across, she would stop and say, could I ask you a few questions? I'm a researcher.

And she asked some questions and showed him a little thing where he would write, make a little picture of something. And we said, thank you very much. And if you want to know more about it, you can phone me. And she'd give him the phone number. We also had her stop an equal number of men on a very safe nearby bridge.

What we found is that on the shaky bridge, the things, the pictures they wrote or the comments they made were much more, had much more romantic and sexual content, and they were much more likely to phone her. So that was the finding. And we've done follow-up studies too.

And the logic is that if you're shaken up and you're not entirely sure of why, and you meet someone who's attractive, you're likely to think, oh, that's why I'm feeling this. And it turns out that in some other studies done later, it's been replicated many times in various ways.

They found that if you're, you know, if you're sort of worked up and you meet someone who's unattractive, you're likely to feel strongly disgusted. In other words, you retake the emotion, the arousal you've gotten, you reinterpret it.

Yeah. You have to be a little careful. I can tell you a little story. Some years after we did this study, I ran into a student who attended one of my classes. And he said, oh, Dr. Aaron, I just wanted to tell you what happened recently. I was in India recently. And I met at his hotel this attractive young woman, and I thought, oh, I know his research.
