@Intrepid,
I am certainly interested in the psychology of perception. I find some things weird: for instance, the perception that gay men and women think alike, as do lesbians and men. I don't think this is backed by research in any way.
I am interested in how a piece of empirical research can make me an attention whore, I think part of the answer is there is a belief that research is not a feminine activity.
I would welcome your comments.
