If you listen to classical music, you have low T. It’s scientifically proven.

ok

Probably why I like unsophisticated music like metal.

>If you listen to classical music, you have low T
The study doesn't say that. It says "lower testosterone was associated with greater liking for sophisticated music." That's it; a correlation, not causation. And they tested 37 Japanese males, by the way.
>It’s scientifically proven
You know what IS scientifically proven? From the same research:
>People with high intelligence have reportedly been shown to have a strong preference for classical music.
Too bad you can't read.

Low t

>The smartest guy has less free testosterone than half a dozen females.
Brutal. I bet he wasn't compensating anything while he was giving his opinion on the 15 seconds excerpts of 25 obscure western music tracks.

It’s always some fat USian bloke or a random filipino obsessing about testosterone. Absolute tranny mindset.

>s-stop listening to that music, it's not m-manly!!
>you need to listen to hip-hop (not music)
no thanks shlomo

Go back to r*ddit, troon.

>>128282778 (OP)
Yeah, I’m gonna listen to shitty rap and rock music just so people think my testosterone levels are higher. I’m totally not gay btw. Pic rel is me and my completely platonic bro who doesn’t finger my anus.

>>128283147
It's not all shlomos though.
It's all the insane East Euro shlomos. Slavs did a number on them, I guess. They brought all their baggage to the West. Doesn't even matter what their politics are. Like Ayn Rand was an arch libertarian, but she's completely fucked in the head by her experience with commies in the USSR. Plenty of other Jews not part of this insane cohort love classical music, love all kinds of classical Western literature and art, hate hip hop, hate degeneracy, and were classical composers themselves..or modern day performers.

>>128283106
What the fuck are those classical "pieces" LOL

>>128283106
>>128283374
This study is even more garbage than I thought.

>>128283316
OP on suicide watch

>The main finding was a significant negative correlation between testosterone level and a preference for sophisticated music including classical, jazz and avant-garde music

Makes sense. What they call sophisticated is basically music for those light in the loafers.
A lot of classical and jazz fops are limp-wristed manlets

>>128283293
/qa/ lost

>>128283106
They should have tested with some more badass classical like Bach, not that wimpy stuff

>>128283106

I dont blame them not liking it, they suck lol

>>128283316
Rap is for sissies, low t music at its core

>>128283536
Yeah, they really picked the worst songs of the rock type music

>>128282778 (OP)

Any paper that uses a subjective word in the title goes straight into the trash

>sophisticated: (of a machine, system, or technique) developed to a high degree of complexity.
that's objectively a characteristic of music to different degrees depending on the piece

>>128283779
>>128283964
they seem to be using it in an at least somewhat defined sense
>Rentfrow, Goldberg, and Levitin (2011) measured preference for music excerpts selected from varying music genres in contrast to other existing studies that measured music preference by having participants rate preference for music genre labels (for example, Brown, 2012, Oshio, 2012). They extracted five orthogonal dimensions defining variations in music preference pattern, i.e., Mellow, Contemporary (Urban), Sophisticated, Intense and Unpretentious (Campestral) (MUSIC; Rentfrow et al., 2011, Rentfrow et al., 2012). Importantly, each dimension of MUSIC spans multiple music genres. For example, the sophisticated dimension includes music genres such as classic, jazz and world music. The MUSIC structure in music preference has been replicated in different sets of music excerpts and different samples (Rentfrow et al., 2011, Rentfrow et al., 2012). Later studies found that preference for each dimension of MUSIC is associated with cognitive style and the big-five personality traits (Greenberg et al., 2015). The five-dimensional structure of MUSIC is relatively stable across one's lifespan, although developmental change exists in regard to preference strength for each dimension (Bonneville-Roussy, Rentfrow, Xu, & Potter, 2013). In addition, each dimension of MUSIC is associated with a different set of sound-related and psychological attributes (Greenberg et al., 2015, Rentfrow et al., 2011, Rentfrow et al., 2012).

It’s time we start admitting that high T is correlated with low iq.

>37 males
>39 females
Absolutely worthless

kek

>>128284223
Pretty much this. Even if it were statistically significant, a single study doesn't mean much. OP is retarded

>>128282778 (OP)
Is there a way to increase T?

Lifting.

>>128284133
Well, it kind of is. High T isn't inherently good because it can also cause acne, balding, excessive body hair, mood changes, even infertility. You can have low T and be a man. What matters is lifestyle and discipline, not a random number. The modern obsession with high T is just conformation bias:
>>I have high T, therefore I'm a man
But then they're entitled, self-pitying, and insecure. They don't realize being a man isn't a hormone level, but rather constant becoming.

Do blacks have more salivary testosterone perhaps?

>>128283101
Huh? The women only top out of 100 though while the men baseline starts at 50 and tops at 300 tho look the numbers on the bottom. smartest lady is like 50 while the smartest dude is more like 80.
>yeah but what about the other women tho
That just means gets more ebony amazons, duh.

>>128282778 (OP)
Testosterone does negatively correlate with intelligence.

>>128285616
If you made the chart exclusively about white men, the hip hop T levels would be the lowest. The high t men who listen to hip hop are black, all the white people who listen to it are weak pansy liberals
